Meeting OF the Fire Board.

The board of fire commissioners held the
regular monthly meeting at the district gov
ernment building last night. There were
present Messrs. Collins and TAFT. Chief En-
gineer Cronin submitted his monthly report
for February. There were thirteen alarms of
fire during the month of which one was u
false alarm. The fires caused an estimated
loss of $1,000, ON which there was full in
surancc.
The foremen of the various companies re-
ported the conduct of the men during the
month to have been good. Supt Miles
reported that the fire alarm telegraph
was in good condition. A letter was read
from Burns & Creecy, requesting that an en-
giuc be detailed to test the Piggott shutter at
the government printing Office this evening at
5o'clock.
Mr.. Collins inquired what relation the shut
ter had TO the extinction of fires.
Chief Engineer CrOnin said he understood
that IL was an iron shutter which could
be opened by directing stream of water
against 1t.
The board directed the chief to detail an
engine for the purpose requested. A letter
was read from f. Il. Smith requesting action
upon his application for appointment rs a
member of the fire department. Applications
for appointment were received from Michael
Davis William b. Kelley, and Joseph Il.
Wall. The death of Cooley" the black
horse of truck A, was announced. Chief En-
gineer Cronin said Coalcy was the best horse
in the department; thought there was some
thing the matter with the truck house as two
horses had been taken with pneumonia with
out any exposure whatever. The months
current bills were examined and approved,
and after the transaction of unimportant
business and the appointment of Mr.. James
IL. Smith as a private on the fire department
in place of William Whitmore, dismissed, the
