nrp FfnE DEPARrMESr.-There has
lam considerable dissatisfaction ex-
n,essed among the members of the De-
nar,ment. on the grounds that the Board
Of CITY Trustees refuses to pass the bills
q, repairs on apparatus, which were ac-
,,ollv needed, in order to keep them in
. GOOD and s%erviceable condition for
tbe protection of property in our city,
n cose of the breaking out Of a fire.
No;,ber of the companies in our Depart
,oent have members enough at the pres
ont time who can afford to pay the neces-
INV amount which would be required to
lacn their apparatus in good order. The
recruitment only consists of three coin
pon;es. but we can safely say that it Is ms
sa;ont n n as there is anywhere,
60; ,s size. The fires at Gold Hill and
nayton are sufficient to show what a De-
na,tment as large as the one we have,
aa"a,id have been able to do; and espe-
ciallv in Dayton, where a large amount
~ ,ronertv was destroyed. We think
orr c;tizens ought to look into this mat
.n Cav Il il much better to do 1t before
,ban after a fire; and more so, Tor the
safety and protection Of their property.
ueyetofore the companies were COM
lied 10 solicit subscriptions from our
rc;tizens TO pay for the necessary repairs,
and we think il would be better to con-
'r;bute once a year to a fund for the pur-
nose NJ defraying the necessary expenses,
Inch AZ repairs of hose and apparatus.
Tho BOARD of Delegates has had several
aians and discussions at its meetings,
Il order 10 arrive at some means by
which the Department can be kept up,
w;tbont calling upon the citizens for sub
~scriptions, thereby some taxpayers pay
ing more than others; and in conse-
ouence of this, the Board of Delegates
selected a committee to petition the
BOARD of City Trustees to levy a tax Of
one quarter of one per cent. on all the
taxable property in Hamilton City, and
creating A fund for the Fire Depart
ment. from which all the necessary re-
pairs shall be paid; and in this way it
will fall on all taxpayers in proportion
to contribute for the support of the Fire
Department once q year, instead Of
being called upon two or three lines,
We hope the proposition will be well re-
eeived by our citizens, as we have been
assured by the members Of the Depart
ment that unless something is done very
soon the different companies will be
compelled 10 disband, and thus leave the
property at the mercy Of a fire. The
Board of City Trustees ought TO take
this matter into consideration at once,
and take some action on it.
As UNREGISTERED GuEsT.-Saturday
night, Marshal Dumars found a guest
lodged in one room of the City Hall, of
whom no deputy or policeman could give
IN account, and referring to the slate,
here found no mention of his customer.
The cell was locked. the key in its proper
1lace, and everything else in Is usual
condition. The fellow said he had been
there by some officer, he sup
1osed, but being pretty tight at the time,
.ould not remember how his captor
lie was kept till Sunday morn
ng. when. there being no charge entered
him, he was turned out and per-
nitted TO again air himself in freedom,
contributing TO the city treasury
usual fee required Of persons who

ution.
