National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-12-13

THE House has passed the Pension bill,
in strict accordance with the estimates OF
the Administration for necessary appropria-
tions. And the Democrats are growing
over this achievement, the same as they do
over the passage of the Forti6cations bill, as
an indication of the celerity with which
Congress disposes of the public business.
To affirm the correctness of Republican es.
Inmates, and respond to Republican requests
for money with which to conduct the affairs
of the Government, seems to be the correct
thing just now in Congress. But we fail to
see wherein the Democrats are to gain any
glory by this proceeding.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-12-13

THE Forti6catious bill has passed the
House. Wonderful achievement! The
Democrats base upon this fact the assertion
that their majority in Congress has really
done something in the first two weeks of
the session. But common-sensc people un-
derstand that tliis appropriation bill is the
meekcst and mildest and most inon'ensivs
bit of Government business required at the
hands of Congress. Besides this, with the
exception of one single item, the bill
passed by the House on Friday was the
same in every respect as the previous bills
for the same purpose for two years past.
Craftsmanship, Of course
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-12-13

THE solid men of the District are nearly
all in favor of a restoration of the right of
suffrage to the extent of recognition of
the right of self-government. The pro-
moters of the recent movement in this be-
half, however, have up to this time been
Republicans. But the agreement has been
reached that it shall not be treated us a
partisan project. The doors have therefore
been opened TO Democrats and all hands
who may be in favor of Home Rule. In
short, the idea is that the entire people of
the District Of Columbia are interested in
obtaining q restoration Of their municipal
rights, and it is therefore proposed to make
the impending demonstration for citizen
ship strictly non-partisan affair. Let all
hands join in the effort and start the move
ment of with big boom

In place of selling two horses, ss per action

would respectfully ask that an appropria-
tion of two hundred $4,000 dollars be made for
the purchase of tools for the use of the depart
ment. BY 30 doing = considerable expense to
the city, as well as valuable time, would be
saved, as the Engineer could make necessary
repairs to the apparatus and expresses will
lingness so to do. It would also remove the
necessity of borrowing tools of mechanics,
which is to them an annoyance.
1t being customary in all paid fire depart
ments for the members to be in uniform,
would suggest that all full paid men be re,
quired to uniform themselves in blue cloth and
white metal fire department buttons, and the
half time portion of the department be re-
quested to do 80 as far as practicable.
Allow me to express my obligations to the
Committee on Fire Department. for uniform
promptness in supplying material required to
the members, of the police force for their at
tendance at fires and assistance rendered, and
to the officers and members of the fire depart
ment for their attendance to duties and obedi-
ence to orders. All of which is respectfully
submitted. ~ r. o. SrRoNa,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT.
.. ST. PAUL, May 8, 1879.
To the Honorable President and Common
Council of the City of St. Paul.
GENTLEMEN: herewith present my annual
report as Chairman of the Committee on Fire
Department, showing itemized statement of
expenditures by the committee which has
passed through my hands from May lst, 1878,
to May 1st, 1879. N.. g
One thousand feet of White Anchor hose has
been purchased during the year, also one team
for No. Engine. The item entered in exhibit
of expenses "a new material" is made up Of
various small articles, including the purchase
of hose. ., .t. sE.s ,a..Et asa =
The strictest economy in the running of the
department has been observed. In comparison
with the expenditures of 1877 by the commit-
tee, taking the difference of salaries of half
time department into consideration. we find
the expenditures for the past year have been
about twenty seven hundred dollars less.
The FIRE alarm system has been extended and
one alarm box has been purchased aud placed
at the plow works. p Ia (
We are we'll satisfied with the system as
adopted of paid fire department.. The depart
ment is efficient and reliable and entitled to the
Conscience of the citizens We refer You to
the report of the Chief Engineer for detail.
