CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT

Francis H. Welch, Chief of the Fire
Department, gives list of fires, of which
there were during the year. He reports
the average amount of hose laid 935 feet,
the shortest 25O feet, longest POO feet. The
appropriation was $500; total expenses of
the department. $3l6o.1 19; overdrawn, $50. 10.
The city has $500 feet of hose, 2sOO of
which is good and 500 fair: There are 64
hydrants, including on Waldo avenue,
which have not been accepted by the city.
One has been added the past year, on
Northgort avenue near the residence of
Geo. r. Williamson. The Chief recon-
mends that about $50 feet of hose be bought
in the spring, and he favors wax treated
hose; that a suitable number of National
Standard Fire Extinguishers be bought and
placed in the Opera House building and
school houses. He calls attention to the
matter of fire horses and a district fire
alarm, and advises that the fire committee
investigate and learn if the insurance rates
would be reduced if the city possessed
these. He recommends that the city take
some measures to procure new whistle
for fire alarm, and that a new hose COM
pany be organized and located near the
foot of the square if it will reduce insurance
rates in that section.
