Public Urged to Observe Care in Use of Gasoline and Avoid Needless Fires If people could onily reaiiZt UAAA gallon of gasoline properly vaporized has the explosive force of 82 pounds of dynamite, they would exercise more care in its use. Gasoline should never be used in the house for dry cleaning purposes. Wouldn‘t it be cheaper to send clothes cut to be cleatieda than to risk being burred to death in an exâ€" plosion of the fumes should they come in contact with flame? Even the very act of cleaninz clothes in gasoline deâ€" velops static electricity which is liable to set off fumes without warning. This has often hanpened too when floors are cleaned with gasoline. It may not be generally known â€"but it is nevertheless a fact that in most provinces in Canada a fire insurance policy may be rendered null and void i# more than one quart of gasoline is kept in a building without special perâ€" mit. And even that limit must be kept in a tightly closed metal canâ€"never in a glass bottle. The handling cof gauoline in the presâ€" ence of naked lights is also a very danâ€" gerous practice. Attempts to transfer this volatile liquid from one vessel to another in the presence of lanterns has resulted in numerous deaths and inâ€" jJuries. Where found necessary to do this, it should be done in daylight or Dy electric light. Many garage operators still insist on using gasoline for cleaning and washing enpngine parts in spite of the fact that there are just as efficient and safer solvents omr the market. Numerâ€" ous instances are on record where this practice has resulled in fire and perâ€" sjmal injuries. Where necessary to keep small quantities of gasoline, it should be kept only in approved safety cans and all such contain>rs should be prominâ€" ently labelled with word GASOLINE.

Finkleman, of Schumacher, was disâ€" missed, the magistrate feeling that the driver had taken all necessary precauâ€" tions. The accused was driving east on Third avenue on Sept. 18th, and pasiied the standing fire truck. He was going slowly, but before he knew it he had hit one of the firemen, Jean Laâ€" porie, who, however, was not injured. Emile Brosseau, Main avenue., paid $10 and costs for qgriving with four persons on the front seat of his car. A charge of doing wilful damage to property against G. Coupal was disâ€" missed. The charge was laid by Medoza Seguin, of Mountjoy Township. Last week Seguin had another man in police court facing the same charge and the case was dismissed. This week the same thing happened again when Seguin failed to prove that the man he had charged was driving the truck that did the damage. It appears that Mtr. Seguin has a gate on his proâ€" perty at a spot where there formally was a road that all and sundry were using. Lately Mr. Seguin hasy told these pecple that they can no longer use the road and he has hocked the road. ‘Since he has blocked the road these people have been breaking _ down the gate and he has been bringing them into court.
