TO Su3DUE + RES.
Three Sections OF the city Demand
Increased Facilities.

Councilman 2hinney will introduce an
order Monday night authorizing the pur
chase of combination chemical and
ladder truck to be located at DeeriDg
Center. This Is in accordance with the
views of the fire department COMMITTEES
and it will probably be passed. The
mem bers from ward eight, or. more cor
rectly speaking, that part of the ward
known as Woodfords will ask to have n
lire engine located at that point while
Councilman Gerrish and his colleagues OF
ward one are making fight to have a
chemical engine and com animation lndder
truck placed on Munjoy hill. An order
will also be introduced authorizing the
purchase Of the triangular piece Of land
bounded by Lowell, Burnhain and Con
gress street at price not exceeding %
cents foot as location for an engine
house The order also authorizes the sale
CT the land and buildings where hose 8.
Portland department, and hose q Deer
ing department, are now located, the To-
ceeds 20 be devoted to paying for the land
above mentioned. The committee on
fire department., the obief engineer and
the residents of the West End would like
tossee this order have a passage. If 1t does
pass the city government the spare engine
will be located In that section of the city

scheme to Utilize Entire Central Fire
Station for Department Alone.

There is q scheme on foot to remove
the liquor agency to some.other place and
utilize the part of the Central Fire station
which the agency now occupies exclusively
for the fire department. The liquor
agency will be placed In some store which
win be leased for the purpose and 1t is
probable that the chemical engine will be-
pnt in the corner of the building facing
Congress street, while room may also lie
made for the location of tbs chief enRi
ueer's wagon in the building.
Z An order authorizing the public build
ings com ittes to make thi change will
probably be introduced in the city gov
eminent meeting Monday evening
While this chnnge has been long talked
of and believed to be necessary, 1t has
never amounted to more than talk, but
this time thoss behind the scheme seem
to think that 1t will pass without much
trouble. The cost OF the contemplated
changes will not be very heavy. while the
efficiency of.the fire department win be
largely increased.

Lieut. Nicholas J. Hslpine, in convsr-
sntion with a Boston Herald man ssid
he did not wish TO engage in any further
controversy with Capt. Thomas regarding
the location of the Portland wreck unless
the captain would come to his Office, where
they might talk II over together and
argue the case to q finish.
But he wished to say, In reply to Capt.
Thomss's question. that he was In bed
and asleep on that Saturday night and
Sunday morning Of phe great Novembcr
storm, just - Capt. Thomas himself was
at Gloucester.
As TO the state Of the wind, he has in
his office, where any one may seen them,
hourly reports from the United States
siannl stations which show th0s The
wind hu pretty steadily b the north
east, with spasmodic 81 ings TO the NORM,
all that night and till Sunday afternoon
at 4 O'Clock. In order to accept the theory
that. the Portland lies on Stillwassn
bank, one must be shown how wreckaee
and a lot OF empty milk cans can drift
90 miles mt nearly right angles to the
wind and all land on q comparatively
short stretch OF beach. with nS wreckseo

Continuing. the lieutenant said: I'm
regard to Capt Blanchnrd's seamanship,
/ think he did Just what any bright
saiIorman would have done. not run his
ship on lee shore. but tried to get be-
hind lee shore, within the hook Of Gaps
Cod. When he found that he could not
keep his course to Portland he probably
turned about to run before the wind,
aiming for that mark 10 miles wide be-
tween Race Point and Gurnet light he
would hen have smoother water to work
IL and o soft sand beach to ground on
If n & NAH been necessary.
II did the same thi g myself once In
storm, and the captain Of tow boat
followed the same course on that very
night of the 27th of November, landing
down on billingsgate shoai. 1t Is also
easy to explain how the Portland might
have gone too far east, not having been
lshed ms far to the W. st as the capita n
* pected by the wind which abated from

morning TO ~ miles per hour at o'cloa X.
These figures are from the signal STATEN

TIE DEERING SCHOOL HOUSES
To the Editor Of the Pres:

40 N6 LUXOR Q tne k>ye&:
Thers seems to be disposition on the
part of certain parties to disrsrage and
misrepressnt the condition of the school
houses in Deering.
criticisms to make, let him be definite
and specify and not deal in glitteripg
eeneralittes which have very little
weight with sensible people.
One might infer from q paragraph re-
Gently published in one Of our daily pa
pers, managed by one OF the old mbers
of the Portland school board. that the
DeeriDg schoolhouses had not been kept
properly cleaned. The fact is the school
houses generally have been thoroughly
| cleaned within a comparatively short
time. The schoolh buses nearest to the
| writer were thoroughly cleaned in the
| vacation preceding the term just closed.
All of the wood work including the desks
was thoroughly washed and the floors
scrubbed and the windows cleaned on
| both sides. have taken pains to consult
some of the teachers as to how the work
was done and they assured me 1t was
done In very thorough and satisfactory
manner.
/ have not the sligh test doubt that the
Deering school houses have been as re.
Gently and as thoroughly cleaned as those
in Portland.
l do not claim that our school houses
are not in need OF improvement but If
the slightest reliance can be placed on
the last report of the Portland school
board, there is more foul air and more
noxious and dangerous gases In one
school house occupied today in Portland
than in all the school houses in Deering
combined.
/ will hazard the opinion that the
average sanitary condition of the Deering
school houses Is as high as those of Port
land. The Deering people will hail with
pleasure any improvement In their school
houses or their schools, but they will
protest against these misrepresentation
and unjust criticisms.
