FIRE DEPARTMENT. IN
need OF MORE MEN
Chief Engineer Says Force
Is Sadly Deficient.
COULD NOT SUBDUE BIG FIRE
Apparatus, Much Of It, Out CT Date and
Many Buildings Need ReraiTs--Men
Reported to Be Well Disciplined and
Organized

That the District of Columbia badly
needs more fremen. more up-to-date
fire apparatus. and many new buildings
is the verdict OF the Chief Engineer and
his assistants, after thorough inspec-
ton Of the entire department
The present force. they say, is eff
cient. well organized, and well disci-
Dlined. but so numerically small that it
could not cope with large fire.
The department numbers 2SS men.
There are at present fourteen engine
companies. six truck companies. and
four chemical companies.
The department in many instances is
very poorly housed. many Of the houses
not only being old buildings. but so
small that horses and men are crowded
together in a manner which not only
initiates against the efficiency Of he
company. but endangers the health Of
the men. Repairs for the old buildings
are out OF the question. as it would be
in most cases more expensive than 10
build new ones.

Not Likely to Import Fuel.

It Is almost impossible for the local
dealers to handle the fuel consumed here
during the winter, and it has been the
custom for large consumers TO lay IN
their supply during the summer months
Practically not pound has been put in
this summer and instead Of having hun
drsds Of thousands Of tons in the city. IN
the yards and on the rails there is but
1000 tons available at the highest cal
cHlation
Many Of the local dealers. including
Mr.. y. " Harper, CT 1910 Fourteenth
Street northwest have considered the
pTacticability Of importing coal from
Wales. but fear to undertake the matter
owing to the risk involved.
The WeIch coal, Mr. Harper stated.
is far inferior to the coal that the peo-
pie OF Washington have been using. It
is. in fact. only semi-anthracite. This
coal would cost about SO a ton laid
down in this city. and IT would take
about five weeks 10 get the first ship
ment here under the best conditions.
Under these circumstances meme OF the
local dealers feel justified IN taking the
risk that would De involved IL contract
ing for large cargo with the possibiii-
y staring them IL the face that before
they could get the coal here. the strike
would be settled. the prices declined to
nearly normal, and the Welsh coal be a
drug on the market at any price
