Engineer Ricker's Report.

Chief Engineer Kicker of the fire de-
partment has made his second annual re-
port, and In the introduction he saws the
department was never in better condition
That considering the number of alarms
the losses have been small compared with
other places. The membership of the de-
partment and its efficiency have been in
creased. Good will and harmony prevails
throughout the department and the mem
bers are always ready to render assistance
to each other.
During the year 80 alarms have been re-
sponded to by the department, by months
as follows:' May, A; June, 1; July, 3:
August, 4 September, 9; October. 4 :,
November, l; December, Z; january, 3:
February, 5. The total loss by fire. as
near as can be ascertained, is $40, 22o. 70.
This was covered by insurance amounting
to SIS, TO- The total loss over and
above the insurance was s17s5. There
have been several still alarms that the
engineer has looked after where slight
damage was done.
The following was taken from his report
and will be especially interesting:
. In the way of improvements for the
year the Cushnoc Hose house has been re-
modelled throughout inside, also painted
inside and out. The hose house on Cony
st. has been painted inside and out There
have been 500 feet of new hose purchased
also three new alarm boxes, Nos. SO, 81
and Al. Two new hydrants have been
purchased and placed in position, one on
the corner of Bangor and Quimby streets
and the other on Hospital street, near the
south end of the Arsenal fence.
1.-THE steam whistle that was on the f.
G. Allen building and placed on the Au-
gusta Lumber Company's mill to be used
for fires only"
Recommendation were are follows
That there be three new alarm boxes
added to the fire alarm system the coming
season.
I'd. That there be 500 feet of new hose
purchased for the use of the fire depart
ment.
Sd. That one new hydrant be pur-
chased and placed on Sewall street
500 feet south of Capitol street.
4th. That the hook and ladder house
on Cony street be repaired, to make it
mole convenient for the company, and to
make it look more respectable to the pub
lie.
9Th. That there be new indicator pur-
chased for Atlantic hose house No. 2.
9th That the Cushnoc hose house be re-
shingled the coming season.
It'll That there be a combination
chemical hook and ladder truck purchased,
and do away with the present hook and
ladder truck, which is of but little use to
the department..
Sth That there be some needed repairs
done on the steam fire engine Cushnoc.
9th. That the reservoir on the corner
of Bangor and Patterson streets be re-
paired the coming season, for 1t is liable
to cave in at most any time.
