Look Back ... to fire protection in Oxford, 1949
May 27, 1949, in The Star: Carrying out fire protection plans it made some time ago, the Oxford City Council last night approved the installation of 14 fireplugs and 6,500 feet of six-inch water main for a total cost of $16,000. Mayor Hemphill Whiteside said every house inside the city limits of Oxford will be in reach of a fireplug when the project is completed. There will also be a plug installed in Hobson City, with the residents of that community playing for the addition. Up to now there’d been no fire protection available in Hobson City. The work of installing the water main will begin in a few days and continue for several weeks. Other improvements to the town include the marking of streets by using easily read signs mounted on posts.
