pressions usual on such a time. I

assistance it shall become my endeavor
to accomplish these duties with what

These representatives have been Sc

Chief Devine submitted lis report for
the year 1886 at last nights meeting of
the fire and police commission. 1t is
a very complete document, filed with
figures to the minutest details of every
thing connected with the department.
The report shows that the actual loss
by fire last year was less than one-
third of the actual loss in 1895, a fact
which reflects great credit on the Ell
ficiency of the department. Compa-a-
tive statements will follow. The losses
last veal were smaller than they have
ever been during the past ten years.
In his recommendations the chief
urges the erection of the Fourth pre-
cinct station at an estimated cost of
5000, which has been included in his
estimated expenditures for the present
year.
Enumerating the improvements af-
fecting the department and made dur
ing the e the report alludes to the
new fire station o completed at a to-
tai cost of $5,761. Eleven new hy-
drants have been put in by the water
department, making a total of SSS now
in use. The amount of water pipe laid
was 1927 feet, making a total of 124
miles, 4,609 feet now in service.
