Montrose - At a special meeting of the Montrose borough council, it was decided not to levy the two mill tax authorized by court for the purpose of buying a pumper engine for fire-fighting. It has been found that the water pipes of the borough, which were largely laid about 35 years ago, are so corroded that insufficient water passes through them to supply a pumper with water enough to give a high pressure. As it is impossible to meet the underwriters demands in this respect, it is useless to purchase an engine, as there would be no lessening of fire insurance unless the pressure demanded could be maintained.

News Briefs: A statistician attempts to prove, with figures, that horses cause more accidents. We are not so sure. But we do know the old horse and buggy still have one argument in their favor.
