King street, furnishes us with the follow.
ing record of fires that occurred during
ihe past year, together with the total
loss and insurance.
During the year the department was
called out liS times. OF that number AZ
prove1 TO be false; leaving 76 tires; the
total loss was s2S, ,44l 70, upon which
there was an insurance of $50 ,sg5 20; ac-
tnal loss less insurance 81 $4,000. The
department went into service twenty
two times; time of service, 1Ot hours
There were seven other small fires, for
which there were no alarms sounded
The above record speaks very highly for
the Fire Department, and proves tn I
there Is not more efficient one in the
county. The figures given above are
correct, as Mr.. File went TO n great
amount OF trouble to ascertain thon.
