    ______________________

    In those days the water of the Grand River was kept at work more than it is to-day in proportion to the town's needs now. Its waters run on, still willing to drive thousands of spindles or wheels. The requirements of the town for a water service have been made complete by a water works system, supplying an abundance for every purpose and of the purest and best spring water. The water supply being plentiful, the streets well supplied with hydrants, a fire has very little chance of gaining much headway. The town has a well-equipped fire brigade. The department is headed by Mr. James Curliss as Chief, who, night or day, on the first tap of the bell, is on hand, guiding his brigade behind his charger helmeted in regulation fire-fighting style.
