THE PEOVO POST TUESDAY JANUAEY 27,1920 Tlie destroyed the Utah CounMeat Wholesale Packing plant lias raised the question ty of fire protection of the corporate limits in the county. If the city apparatus is taken beyond municipal bound-rieon to roads that are not known' and not always safe, it is contended that equipment bought aud maintained for the city may run off a bridge, as once happened north f Provo, delay the return of the same; and if in the meantime fires. occur within the corporate limits, then officials are blamed for taking the equipment away. At the same time, fires may come, as did the one last week, , within the sphere of immediate influence of the city, owned by the taxpayers of the city, and serving the inhabitants of the city in such a way that efforts should be made, so owners maintain, to give all protection possible. .Perhaps it was given. The purpose of this article is not ix censure nor unduly criticize, but rather to suggest -- inclliods or If mistakes plans for future protection. let in the plans of the fuhave been made the past, then ture rectify them. The' suggestion has been made, and is very pertinent lo the present conditions, that the county should add fire i projection to territory not now. under corporate limits. AVTiy nott The county gives police protection, and there la no question mist'd that such is within the duties of the intolder 'communities fire protection within the. Ncouhtyls believed to be just as essential. In the manu- factoring districts of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, in particular, travelers may see not only, the .uniformed kState Constabulary, but the uniformed firemen in the Wuntry districts.
