THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
THE ANNUAL ESTIMATE MADE UP LAST
NIGHT.
The Total in Excess Of Last Year, Caused Largely
By Paying for the New Atlantic Engine
A New Combination Machine
Wanted for the Island.

The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment devoted considerable por-
ton OF the time of last evenings ses-
sion to a consideration Of the annual
estimate of the department, which Will
be handed in to Councill this even
ing, and referred by that body to the
Finance Committee.
AS outlined the estimate will foot up
about $40, 900, as compared with $4,000
spent last year; but this increase isverV
largely accounted for by the fact that
81, 200 must be charged up for the new
Atlantic engine, while, although pur-
chased last year, was paid for in 1898.
Another item which will go to
swell the total will be about
SO, 900 for a combination hose wagon
and chemical for the Island, and still
another is 81, 24O to meet proposition
to increase the pay OF firemen from 500
to sos per month-the same as police
men. Adding the cost OF the Atlantic
engine to the money expended in 1892,
would make the real cost OF the de-
partment last year 500, 900, and deduct
ing IL from what is asked for this year,
would pull the estimate down to about
$50, 900, even after allowing for the
increase of pay and buying the new
Island apparatus. or course, it won't
figure out this way in paying the bills,
as the 81, 200 for the engine is charged
up against the 1893 appropriation, but
IL explains why the total Is so large
this time. The apparatus for the
Island is indispensable, in The opinion OF
those at the head of the department
The hose reel now over there has been
in use for nearly stwenty years, and has
been repaired until it won't hold to-
gether any longer, and must be
replaced. Last evening the Committee
picked out combination hose wagon,
chemical engine and ladder truck as be-
ing just the thing for the Seventh
ward, and the price will be ascertained
to-day. This apparatus will carry
about ten sections OF regular hose, a
full chemical engine equipment, two
babcocks, and four short ladders, and
seems to be very complete machine.
Two steel truss ladders, ore seventy
five feet long and the other sixty, TO
cost total of $500, will also be asked
for for the hook and ladder truck, whose
long ladders are too heavy to be of use.
The estimate in detail is as follows:

An ordinance making it an offence to
ride or drive over hose, when In use at

Bills aggregating S5s2.67 were recon-
mended for payment Some of these
bills we're a year old. Natural gas bills
for the first quarter of 1898, aggregat-

Mr.. Horstmann called attention to
the fact that one Of the Eighth ward
engine horses was disabled by getting
his foot through the wheel OF the en-
CINE, and causing the engine to move
forward several feet. This twisted the
horses foot and leg around in such q
manner that the hoof had to be ham
mered out Of the wheel. 1t is doubtful
IL the horse can ever be Of use in the de-
partment again. AS the Chiefs horse
has been in use for ten years, and is also
about done up, subcommittee on
horses, consisting Of Messrs. Horstmann,
Irwin and Dinger, was appointed, with
power to act.
The Chief was instructed to purchase
three dozen aluminium spanners, for
the use of the department. Each man
will be required to carry one with him
