SUBURBAN FIRE PROTECTION
DeaHng'in his annual report with suburban fire protection, Superintendent Tait, of the Fire Brigade, observes that in February last a scheme was brought forward for the reorganisation of the appliances and proposed dispensing with the present Newtown station and replacing the hand reel at Kilbirnie with a motor-engine, tho whole to be housed in a station situated at the top of Con-stable-street. B£ this means the districts of Newtown, Kilbirnie, Hatait&i, Maranui, etc., would be more efficiently protected than at present. These disWicts have now grown to very large proportions, and "I would ask," add* Mr. Tait, " that the recommendation of the present council on this matter will have the serious consideration of the incoming council. Also, the hose reel station proposed for the protection of Wadeatown, as this district is entirely without protection from within itself."
