 THE VALUE OF CHEMICALS.
For Fire Fighting Shown in Report of
 Assistant Chief Perkins.

For Fire Fighting Shown in Report of
 Assistant Chief Perkins.
 Assistant Chief of the Fire Depart ment Perkins yesterday completed his annual report on the methods used dur ing the past year by the department in the extlnguishing of fires.
 His figures follow: On ten fires it was necessary to use more than two streams of water from engines. On thirty-two fire one or two streams were sufficient to extinguish the flames.
 In 113 cases chemicals were sufficient in thirty three water without either en- zine force or chemicals were used and in 101 cases the department was able to extinguish the flames by smothering them or in other ways.
 The figures in regard to the use of chemicals are especially interesting and valuable. In each of the 113 cases where chemicals were used water in greater or smaller quantities would have had to be used and the damage thus great ly reduced because the damage by chemicals is incidentally less than when a stream of water has to be used.
