We would call the attention of our
Fire Department TO the following ex-
tracts taken FROM the Firemdn's Journal,
of September -, 1879, and deem COM
ment unnecessary: BUFFALO, y. Y,
September 2O.-The house at East Buff
falo. now building for the new Chemical
Engine will be completed by the middle
of October. The use of Chemical En-
gines has been found by the Buffalo De-
partment to be very etfectual. The first
was purchased in May, 1875, and for the
nextv wear more than one-halfO OF the fires
within its district were eXtinguished by
il alone. In December, 1873, two more
engines were ordered. This year another
has been purchased, and now the tax
PAYERS OF Cold Springs. a suburb,
have petitioned the Council for a
fifth. Since the purchase of the
first Chemical, but one steamer
has been added 10 the equipment OF the
Department, so iavorably are the Chem
icais REGARDED. The amount expended
upon repairs of the steamers far exceeds
the amount required by the Chemicals.

KANSAS CRY, Mo, September 49,
At last the long talked of new Hose Reel
has been received, and it is a model OF
beauty and strength. 1t was built by
the Consolidated Fire Extinguisher
Company of Chicago, at a cost of $3.50.
The boys of No. are proud of it, and
they have reason &c be, for it is by far
the handsomest Reel in the city. Not
only will it show up on parade as the
finest looking in line, but the boys will
try TO make it the most serviceable in
actual work. The Reel will carry ZOO
feet of hose, and is supplied with the
modern Improvements for convenience
and comfort. Hose.
