all of the department wires are overhead
and at times give a great deal of trouble
by being crossed with other wires, but 1t
is earnestly hoped that the Council will
provide to have the city wires properly
placed in the conduts. which will shortly
be placed underground, as there is no tell
ing when a wire may fall across ire

alarm.
Since the establishment of the Electric

ment to a considerable extent, and they
are always kept on the go.

They Have Made Fine Record, o.
Which Any Department Might
Be Proud.

The past year in the Fire Department
has been phenomenal; all previous re-
cords have been broken The fires which
the department had TO contend with
;Iare bccn OF the most serious kind, yet,
with the exception OF cases where walls
have GaIlce in on adjoining property, no
fire has extended beyond its place of
origin; and. considering the conditions,
This is quite remarkable. There have
beer during the year 435 alarms respond
ed 10 by the department, as against $50
during 1900. This shows an increase Of
over - per cent. in alarms The gem
oral alarm or 6-6-6, has been recorded
nine times during the year. This alarm
brings out the entire department. and
one reserve company is placed in the
central part of the city. which is expected
to protect the entire city. While the loss
for the past year has been larger than
any len years in the history Of the Fire
Department. yet this is no reelection on
the department. as the conditions under
which the firemen worked was big
drawback, and where the heavy losses
We're sustained in most cases, the alarm
was not turned in until the flames had
gained much Roadway.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra

disease. requires constitutional treat

by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
