REPORT or rBE cHIEr ENGINEER.

! To Fire District No.
In conformity 10 the bylaws Of the district. I
submit the following report
There have been but three fires IN the istric,
during the past year.
LIST, Was at the engine house of the VI. G R.
| R., at about o'clock on the morning Il .th
Of January. The engines were prom t. z.
/ ground, but the FIRE hat made such progress
| they we're unable to be fservice The building
which was q temporary one, was pu: ned. anu
the engine in it was damaged considerably loss
| about $4,000. The immediate cause Of the mr.
was accidental, but the construction Of the built
ing, and the location Of the FIRE in il, were such
that a IRE might have reasonably been expected
The Railroad company has since built pr,uer
building fpr its engines.
I'd. On the same day, FIRE broke out in Geo
VI PetersOn's barn. The FIRE companies we're
promptly on hand, and the ere WIS arrested and
part Of the building and contents saved: los on
building sbou; $500. Cause Of FIRE unknown.
but there were circumstances indicating she
work Of an ncendiary.
The next FIRE occurred at Mr.. VIM. II. Hoyt's
house. 1t broke out about half past O'Clock
IN the evening Of Dec. 10Th The companies
were all on hand, but the FIRE vas mostly sub
dued by the exertions Of the citizens; loss about
$500. The alarm was not general, owing 10 a
Misunderstanding with the man that was en-
gagged TO ring the alarm bell. Cause Of FIRE IN
known.
There have been several alarms Of fire. and
at each, the companies have been PROMPTLY on
the ground and ready for service
The Engine companies and Hook & Ladder Co
OF the district, have nearly their full COM
plement of men, and their apparatus is in good
order.
Boxer engine Co. No. 3, and Ethan Allen No.
4, have each about 400 feet of good, reliable /
hose, and 100 feet Of new linen hose, and shout |
400 feet Of old hose
There are many localities in the district in
which, if fire should occur, the good hose
would be insufficient, and recommend the pur-
chase Of 400 feet Of good leather hose
The district has no suitable place for housing
ITS engines snd spparatus.or for proper care ofits
hose, and for convenience. and safety. and econ
omy. ] recommend the district to provide COM
modious engine house for storing its apparatus.
and halls for the several companies 1t the ear
lest practicable period.
In prospecting the district, as REQUIRED BY
law, have found for the most part the stove
pipes ssfely arranged, with few exceptions, but
have repeatedly found and caused to be removed
boxes and barrels filed with ashes under the
stair and sheds adjoining
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
