CHIEF CROKER VISITS FLUSHING.

Edward F Croker, Chief Of the Fire Department,
visited Flushing Saturday and inspected the
fire houses in company with James H. Mccormick,
Chief of the Flushing Department. After the in
specton Chief Croker said:
fact has been evident for some time. The volun-
teers laVe done excellent work, and seem to be
willing to continue the service, but Flushing has
outgrown them. Should fire break out in some
of the outlying districts which have been built
up rapidly of late, it would be almost impossible
for the volunteers to get their apparatus there in
time for effective Jrvice. This is particularly true
in winter. light modern hose wagon, drawn by
two horses. would be much more effective.
An attempt would have been made to establish
the Department this year, but we are handicapped
for men. / hope a sufficient number of men will
qualify for fremen so | can establish the De
partment within a month two. The Flushing
volunteers will have allowance of So per cent
in any examination they take.
l don't think it will be necessary to a steamer
in Flushing at present. the force of the water
works gives sufficient pressure. What is known
a double company, consisting of between twenty
and thirty men, with hose wagons drawn by horses
will probably be able to cope with any fire that
might start here.
