1883, January 4 – Well added to Square for Fire Dept.

The well on the north-east corner of the square has been nicely curbed in and the water therefore made accessible for use.  It there was a good well on each of the other three corners of the square the very efficient fire department would have a beneficiary and there would not be such a scarcity of water during the dry summer months.
