Butte to get a strong fire department and water works

The article urges rapid action to fund and build a city fire protection system with a reservoir above town and underground mains to hydrants. It discusses a Babcock engine, criticizes its reliability, and favors a water-pressure driven plan already used in other towns. It notes delays at Dewey's Plat mill and reports on ore shipments, local business activity, and banking plans.
