The efficiency of the Fire Department Is q
matter which concerns every man, woman, and
child in the community, for failure to turn In .
correct alarm as soon q fire is discovered, q
want of promptness, intel 'gence, activity, or
endurance on the part Of the firemen, or a lack
of good judgment in those who direct their
movements, may result any day in the spread
ing of disastrous confisgration, destructive Of
property, and worse still, ofhumsn life. There
seems to be no doubt whatever that had the
fire department of this District been called out
As soon as the recent fire at Michler Place was
discovered, and had the fremen reached the
scene promptly, with a sufficiency Of good hose
and then made a judic:ous application of the
abundant supply of Potomac water in that
neighborhood, the flames would have been con-
find to the house in which the fire originated.
1t is almost equally certain that had there been
strong northwest wind blowing at the time of
the fire, the whole row would have been
utterly destroyed except the brick walls.
Admitting these statements as facts it IL to be
hoped that the suggestion in the Capital of
Dom Piatt, one of the sufferers by the fire, for
an investigation by the Legislature, will be
acted upon by that body without delay. 1t is
true that the fire commissioners have directed
an inve stigat,on into the cause of the great de-
lay in communicating Intelligence of the con-
fagration through the fire. alarm telegraph to
the engine houses, and that Major Richards
has minated that there was to be AN investi-
CATION in the same direction by the police COM
missioners; but these separate examinations
each confiped to one set of men-even if fairly
conducted, as there is no doubt they will be,
are not likely to develope all the facts as would
an investigation by legislative committee
The correspondence, heretofore published in
The STAR, between the Superintendent of Po-
lice and the Superintendent of Fire-alarm
Telegraph, showed disposition "a natural one
under the circumstances) on the part Of each of
those officers to throw the blame for the DELAY
on the officers of the other. That Is another
reason why there should be strictly impart
investigation. Still another good reason is,
that the legislature would have an opportunity
to get better insight into the condition anG
needs of the fire department than they other
wise would do. THE STAR has already called
attention to the pressing necessity of thor
ough reconstruction of our deficient and unreli-
able fre-alarm system. There Is an equally
urgent necessity for the purchase of new hose
&c twill be much easier to fix the responsibility
for any Encouragement if the materiel of the
department is in good order, than it can be with
worn out apparatus. These are matters on
which the safety of the lives and property of our
citizens depend, and for that reason are
certainly worthy the most careful consideration
of our Lawmakers. 1t will rot do to wait for a
Chicago or Boston fire before acting. We have
already had sufficient warning. False economy
in this direction may prove to be very expen-
sive in the end.

We are informed that there is no truth In the
report (referred to in The STAR yesterday
that the Board of Health, or a majority of them,
propose to be absent from the city this summer.
With the single exception of DIR. Verdi, who
goes to Europe to investigate sanitary matters,
but at his own expense, none of the members
will be away from the city. Sanitary boards
everywhere are pretty apt to be the targets of
criticism ard fault-fndiDg, and occasionally
We fling small pebble at our District board
but for all that we are ready to concede the en-
ergy and the unfagging industry with which
they have labored in behalf OF the public
health and sanitary reform.

How to Haul Long Timber.

A small man or even boy with a
team can haul long stick of timber,
cithor round or square, with compara-
tive case if he understands how TO
load it. Let us suppose, for example,
that ono has q quantity OF round tim.
Der TO haul from the forest perhaps
some of tho sticks are fifty feet in
length. Take tho hind wheels Of a
strong wagon, fit pole to the axle
aud hounds for @ tongue, then sling
the timber beneath the axletrec, and
lash the end Of the tongue to the tim.
bcr. Tho timber should be rolled
upon a skid a foot from tho ground
and the wheels should be secured TO il
trife back OF the middle, so that the
forward end will be about one hundred
pounds heavier than the rear end
Then when the team is hitched by O
chain to tho fore-end, the stick will be
kept clear of the ground The team
can be hitchcd 10 either end in case ol
necessity. Timber is frequently slung
beneath the axlctree Of cart or wag
on, and tho rear end is allowed tc
drag on the ground. BY this mcan'
nearly half the load will drag heavily
requiring double the amount of team
TO haul i. Several long and heavy
poles can be hung beneath an ax!etreo
and transported with ease by hitchinl
the team to tho end. Comparatively
few persons in the rrrpl districts have
over hoard of this convenient mode o.
handling long timber. They should
understand Il, as il will often save al
immense amount of heavy drawing
When going down hill the weight
Of the driver on the foreend of tho tim
Der will usually be sufficient to contro
the rate of speed, except down steer
grades. Whom one employs oxen ant
cart sling the long timber beneath
the axletree, lash the end Of the tongue
TO the timber, and hitch tho oxen Il
either end of the stick. A yoke o
oxen could be able 10 draw a stick II
this way with comparative ease, ,whicl
tbey would scarcely move by hitchint
one end beneath tho axletrec and al
lowing the team to draw by the tongue
of tho cart.-Americdn Builder.
