The city ran and add to hire CUPE workers last week in on of the local weekly’s they were to fix potholes and keep up these things . Most all the fire hydrants were gone through and painted up starting after a local hotel burned down. The fire was reported as arson. In the middle of a labor dispute and some one had opened  a number of these about town diminishing the pressure to fight the fire.

The tag says no not connect without permit;2000 dollar fine, we think it’s not intended for arsonists but the responsible public.

The crime is yet unsolved.
