Our CHIEF ENG1NRgR's STATISTICS.

OUR OHIEF ESGlN6Sn ~ AS AASO'
BY careful persual Of the statistics taken
from Chief Engineer Lttlers report, It will be
seen that the actual loss BY firs in this city
during the past year, has been bat triflng-so
small indeed that We feel authorised In stating
that we think no other city 10 the West can
show - favorable 6gurea
This state Of affairs is owing 10 . great de-
gree to the state Of perfecticn in which the
Chief has kept the department which has been
entrusted to his care. Without any thought Of
aattering the Chief. we must say that he has
right to be proud Of bis success in protecting
Of our citizen. from loss, aud that the people
of Davenport should be thankful that they
have such an able fire champion.
1t may be..a wonder to some how any Per.
con can have the heart to attend to the vel
fare Of others FROM year to yesr-to 60 through
with the difficult and often hazardous labor
attending the life and service Of . fireman,
without pay. There 10 some thing unaccounta
besin the composition Of the true fireman.
Bya close examination of the statistics, it

fires occurred nearly in the dead Of the night,
which is the worst time in which to call forth
prompt action. Again, it will be further seen
that most Of the fires have been . long dis
tance f.om the river, consequently much waste
Of precious time occurs in putting down the
hose, aud other preparations. This inconvsn-
ience, which is very grave one. is in conse.
quencs of not having few cisterns in those
portions Of the city not adjacent to the river.
We think proper sum Of money expended in
making snch cisterns, would be . paying invest
ment to the city,
10 the face of all these drawbacks, the fires
have been promptly checked in all instances
where there was any chance whatever, and
really our citizens have great cause to be
thankful that it is no worse with them In
behalf Of the people Of Davenport, We tender
hereby thanks to the Chief Engineer and the
noble. firemen generally for their promptnsss,
energy and indomitable zeal in behalf of pro.
perty owners.
