KEEP IT MOVING.—The Enterprise says: We understand that a meeting will shortly be held to consider the report of the Committee appointed to ascertain the cost, practicability, etc., of constructing one or more large reservoirs above the town, to be used for fire purposes. Something should be done in the matter, as it is easy to see that it does not take much of a fire to destroy property of a value equaling the entire cost of the proposed works. The loss last night by the burning of the school building amounts to more than half the cost of the works, reservoirs, pipes, hydrants and all complete.
