An unusual number of surgical

seriously affected by the panic which
ragged in the upper floors Improvised
cots and mattresses were brought into
use, and a general call for medical as

end the sundry civil bill will be taken

There are some features Of the

several that could be mentioned to show the inadequacy of the present service While the Douglas Improve ment company is to be thanked for placing as many fire plugs as they have already. the fire boys show that there are not enough of them unless more hose is purchased
 Another point brought out by the boys is that another hose house should be erected, with sleeping rooms for the boys. As it Is now, if fire alarm is sounded in the middle of the night, often other persons, not understand ing the hose cart, bring it out. After unreeling the hose from the wrong di- rection they leave it in the street to be driven over by passing wagons In this way more than 100 feet of hose have been ruined.
