BY THE FIRE CHIEF
A. ]. Werner Files his Annual Re-
port With the City Clerk.
FIRES AND LOSS THEREBY
An Inventory of the Department
Figures That VIII Testify in the
Fight Against the Officials
Now In Charge.

The annual report of fire chief A. ].
werner, which was filed with the city
clerk yesterday and which is published
in full below, contains some figures
which are of special Importance through
the fight that is being made against the
reappolntment of the present chief by
some of the fire insurance agents. The
figures show that the loss by fire last
year was less than one-third of the loss
during either of the three preceding
years, and that the amount paid to the
volunteers Is about in the same propor-
ton. This being the case the chief con-
siders that the insurance agents who are
nghting him must have some other rea-
son than that of inefficiency, which is
the cause they assign for their action.
Il wouldn't object to being turned
down." said Chief Werner yesterday.
provided that there is any cause for II
but L don't consider IL right to remove
any man from office without cause.
There has been some kick about the
manner in which fires were handled dur
ing the time that I was sick in bed. but
don't see how can be bod responsible
for that by fair-minded persons. When
the Morris, Sherman and Board of Trade
fires occurred was confined to my bed.
and don't think 1t is right to hold me
responsible for any mistakes that were
made at those fires, and yet at the Nor
ris fire the property owners were well
pleased with the work of the department

L am entitled to square deal; and IL I
get 1t l am perfectly satisfied to take my
chances"

number of fires, losses, insurance and
amount paid volunteers during the last
four years, is taken from Chief werner's

scheme on Foot for Supplying the

1t will be learned with universal
appreciation that enterprising
local people have formed pro-
ject of numbering all the houses
in Honolulu. The scheme has
been submitted to the Govern
ment and been approved thereby
Nuuanu street and the water
front will be the base lines from
which the numbering will pro.
coed the length and breadth
Of the city plot. Odd
numbers will run on the ma
kai and the Waikiki sides of
streets running from these base
lines, and even numbers on the
mauka and Eva sides, respective
ly. Every twenty-five feet of
vacant ground will be allotted a
number, so that subsequent build
ing operations will not derange
the system. Blocks will be num-
bered in consecutive hundreds,
which will torn a perfect guide
to localities. Thus any number
in the 500 block will indicate that
the house is in the fifth block
from the base line. Houses all
numbered will be an improvement
of incalculable value not only to
the business community but to
the social circles of the city. 1t
will moreover pave the way for a
street postal delivery, which, after
the intended improvement of the
post Office building, will be the
copestone of our always progress
sive postal department.
