Claim of Economy.

from many municipalities for the engine.
which sells for 5000. The company claims
its use to- be most economical While In
the house the engine boiler is. kept going
by gas When out gasoline is the fuel used
1t is claimed there is clear saving in the
matter Of horses, feed stuffs. veterinary
treatment, etc. Repairs are common to the
automobile and horse-drawn vehicles. The
only expense attached to the automobile
and not chargeable to the horse-drawn
vehicles is gasoline and gas.
The speed of the vehicle is given as iif
teen miles an nour. but it is claimed thirty
miles can easily be developed. This speed.
however. is regarded as too dangerous In
the city. The company claims great
saving in the matter of fire engine houses.
The omission Of horse stalls and poles from
the front OF the vehicle would permit Of
smaller houses or would permit of the ac-
commodation of more apparatus in the
same floor space. The apparatus is under
complete control at all times and can be
stopped mulch more quickly than any horse
drawn fire machine.

one. 1t was witnessed by the District
Commissioners officials Of the District gov
arnment. and the chief and assistant chiefs
Of the fire department The automobile ap-
paratus attracted widespread attention be-
cause Of its handsome appearance and the
compactness of its machinery. Powerful
steam engines were confined in seemingly
impossibly small space. The machine looks
very much like one Of the modern hose
wagons in the District department. with
the exception that it has no horse pole in
front and has a tiny brass smokestack
just behind the drivers seat.
Assistant Fire Chiefs Belt and Wagner
were first to arrive upon the ground. Ma

inspecting the machine during the day.
