Chief Engineers Report.
Chief Eng n-er Li''l-tield reports that there
we're from March l. 1888, to March l, 1884, So
alarms, including 43 telegraph alarms, t.le-
phone alarms ana 10 still alarms. The amount
Of loss near as could be ascert sined was
S41, 1863. Insurance paid as near as could be
ascertained, S39,8l1. Excess of loss over in
surance, 81 sos.
The appar tas is substantially the same as
last year with the addition of one new third
class rotary steam engine to take the place of
old engine No 2; also one hand engine to be
located at Peaks Island. Two old engines
have been disposed of. Engine No. will
probably have to have a new boiler. The pur-
chase of new ladders for No. is recommended
and hose wagon for No. 2 company.
Two thousand feet of new cotton rubber
lined hose have been bought this year. There
are now in use $1,000 feet. The purchase OF
5000 feet of new hose is recommended.
We have not had occasion to call for the
service OF the fieeboa5 during the year and il
we bad it would have beeu OF little service to
the department. The Davidson pump is not
suitable for fire pump and is not capable OF
throwing stream the distance required. The
substitution of another pump is recon nended
The fire alarm telegraph has worked satifac-
toriiy the past year. The telephones have
been of great benefit. There ale 24S hydrants
The laying of water pipes in certain parts Of
the city now unprotected is recommended.
During the year ithe five hose horses have
been transferred from the street to the fire de-
partment.
The building of an engine house at Peaks
Island is recommended.
