FOR A LADDER TRUCK.
Demand Felt in Augusta for Better Equipmen nj
In This Line.

The recent fire in Opera house block
brought out very strongly to the minds
of many, the needs for more complete
ladder equipment for the use of Au-
gusta's fire department
Augusta has a water service of which
it may well feel proud. On Water
street there is pressure of 125 pounds
and from the hydrant on the wharf
pressure of $40 pounds. This is the
heaviest of any service in Maine. AT
125 pounds, about six streams can be
obtained on Water street. enough to
throw up to the tops of any building.
What is still needed, however, the
firemen and experts assert, is better
ladder service. There is now a 60 foot
ladder. but this is not high enough
and besides is old, and heavy. requir
ing number of men to handle it.
At the last meeting of the city gov
eminent. Boston firm represented
ladder equipment which purported to be
just what was needed. 1t consisted OF
a ladder, 60 feet in height, on which il
was possible to make two additions
amounting to IS feet. This would make
ladder that would enable the firemen
to get after fire in the highest places
With the powerful service, the facili-
ties would be much increased, and pos
sibly would be the means of prevent
ing some heavy damage.
Chief Kicker expresses himself high
ly in favor of some addition and says
that is is very much needed. The mat
ter is under consideration by the city
government

From a Painting Of the Wreck Of the Old
Ship Hanover.

ALT Perkins, the genial janitor of the
Abnaki club. has a photograph, taken
from an oil painting, of the wreck OF
the good old ship Hanover, November
g. 1S49.
Alf was at that time boy, and saw
the wreck from the shore at Popham
beach. The waves were mountains" he
says. and the wind blew directly in,
from east-north-east. 1t was cold
and a dreary sight. beneath the dark
November skies. The master, Capt.
Rogers OF Bath, was lost, and the entire
crew of is men, with number of pas
