Charles H. Hamill called the De-
partment's attention to the fact that
March 18th, next, would be the Goth
anniversary of the incorporation of
the Department, and suggested that
some action be taken to celebrate it.
The matter was dropped but will likely
be acted upon at the next regular
meeting.
Under the head of The Good of the
Department" committee of three was
appointed to wait upon the Mayor and
Councilman and request them to fur
nish better light in the central hose
house: also to state that they want
light in the Federal Hill hose house if
the present gaslight is taken out.
They We're also instructed to state that
the locks in the hose houses in town
hall and Bowery street were broken,
the one on Bowery being in that con-
dition over two months. The mem
bers argued that owing to the con-
dition of the doors and locks meal
culable damage could be done for
instance, hose could be cut and not
noticed until they were wanted at a
fire, or the threads in couplings batter
ed so that attachments could not be
made when needed wrenches stolen
or lost-all of which might escape the
notice of the members until needed at
Il fire.
The appointment by Chief Fisher
of Ropemen is new departure. Their
duties at a fire are to rope off the
streets in order to keep out of working
space all except members of the De-
partment. That this is absolutely
necessary was demonstrated at the
Mcneil fire. where the firemen were
hampered by the crowds and when 1t
was almost impossible for the Chiefs
orders to be heard, and, if heard,
obeyed.
An Invitation.
