At Morristown it is a finable offence, dating hack to the old days of leathern hose, to drive lire apparatus or vehicles over hose. The foreman of the Humane company was ordered at the recent tire in the Chronicle building to lay another line and he directed his driver to drive the wagon down the street and over a line of hose laid previously. Alderman Owens, who is also a lire warden, threatened to arrest the driver, hut upon being assured that he, was acting under orders of Acting Chief Cobbett let the matter drop for the time being.
