A Fire Boat Needed.

PORTLAND, Nov. 6, 1882.
To the Editor of the Press:
If the disastrous fire of yesterday has con-
WINGED those in authority Of the necessity OF a
harbor fire service it will have accomplished
an amount of good possibly commensurate
with its accompanying loss and destruction.
The fire department. deserve the gratitude
and admiration Of all citizens for the skillful
and systematic manner in which the FIRE was
handled and controlled. But it is notorious
fact that the entire southern half Of widgery's
wharf was saved by the steam tug Belknap, il
being inaccessible to the department
1t was owing entirely to the accident of
wind that Union wharf on one side, or Gen.
trail on the other, was not in equal peril, since
it is obvious that the department, as constitute
ed, is practically helpless in protecting and
saving our long and valuable wharfs from de-
struction when cut off by fire.
That city so largely devoted to maritime
pursuits should be without single appliance
to protect its shipping and wharfs fifty is dis
grace. II not criminal neglect, and il there
be, as is currently understood, obstructionists
upon the committee in control, who cannot
understand the necessity Of protecting our
wharves and shipping, they should yield to an
almost unanimous public demand for such
protection. B.
