 At the meeting of the fire commis- sioners last night the reports relatively to the new engine house, No. Il, were accepted and it was announced that the house will be in commission next Mon- day. The report of the civil service ex- animation recently held was unsatis- factory in that only 13 men passed out of total of 40 candidates. These men were appointed to the substitute di- vision of the department. A list of ap- pointments and assignments including S4 names was read and ratified. All the commissioners except Commissioner Pearce were present
 The report of the house committee on No. Il was that the new quarters are in excellent shape and will be ready for occupancy Monday. The new chemical was pronounced the best piece of ap- paratus in the state. The committee on horses and harnesses reported that two pairs of horses are to be purchased, subject to approval, and that the horses have been in the city for two weeks. Three of the animals were reported to be trained and in perfect condition, while the fourth will be ready in short time.
 Chief Fancher expressed himself as anxious to have the house ready for business on Monday and remarked that since apparatus and men are ready the sooner the house is available for ser vice the better. The commissioners stated that they will inspect the new quarters some day next week and Chief Fancher promised to notify them when the men would be ready.
 When it was announced that only IS of the 40 candidates in the civil service examinations for the substitute list had passed, Chief Fancher said that he had expected that at least 20 of the 40 would pass and that he needed 20 new sub stitutes. He said that the present num- Der of substitutes is 54 and that there should be from 60 to 65 of them. In view of this, the commissioners announced that in the near future another examin- |ation for the positions of substitutes would be held In fairness to the can didates for the last examination it was explained that many of them were thrown out on the physical examina- tion.
 The following are the successful can- didates who are now members of the supernuemrary division of the depart ment:
 Nelson L. Hotchkiss, Mark J. Nc Grath, Terence P Brady, Francis H. Miller, Louis Bussman, Edward G. Me- Kiernan, John J. Goldrich, Philip Tyr rell, William Knox, W. Curtis, Arthur J. Church, Edward H. Mayer and Jo- seph F. Redmond.
