Dr.. Hotz thought salaries were about at bot

ITS APPLICATION FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT
| USES.
at the last Convention OF the Chiefs Of Fire
Departments Of the United States, held in New
| York last October, the members Of the Conven-

! contriyed, to sound q fre-alarm, turn on the
gas, hitch the horses to the engine, and opon
| the door of the engine-housc, when the horses
! would start off on run. All this
was done in q very few seconds. Ncy-
