Want Another Engine.

The Board of Fire Wardens recently
concluded that the time has arrived
when Alexandria should have another
steam fire engine, and last night they
sent communication to the City COun-
Gil recommending the purchase OF an adj
ditional one. The city now has two en-
gines capable of performing satisfactory
service, bat the wardens think that dun
ing an emergency, or in cases where Two
or lAore fires should occur in different
quarters OF the city, the present depart
ment would not be able to meet require
ments. Their communication was ac-
companied 10y one from Chief Pettey and
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Robinson, machlnlst
OF the Washington fire department, who
suggests::that the old Hydrsulion engine
he disposed of and that the city procure
another engine. The Hydraulion has
been in Alexandra during the past
forty-fve years, having been brought
here by the government at the outbreak
of the civil war. 1t is believed that 1t
has long outlived its day of usefulness
aud that it is practically useless to spend
money on repairs. rhe communications
were referred to proper committees.
