POTOMAC FREE OF ICE.
Chief Belt Reports There Is No Pres
emit Danger Of Damage.

According to official statement made
by Fire Chief Belt to the Commissioners to-
day, the Potomac river is free from ice be-
tween 26th and d streets and the Aque-
duct bridge and there is no cause for alarm
Of any damage being occasioned along tho
wharves. The fireboat Firefighter and tho
police boat Vigilant have been particularly
busy during the past week breaking up the
ice gorges from the old Long bridge to the
Aqueduct bridge and from the present con-
dition of the river Chief Belt is of the opin-
ion that there will be no further trouble
with ice this season. The freboat will,
however, make another trip tomorrow.
In his report Chief Belt stated: AT about
o'clock on the 18th instant I was informed
that a very large piece Of ice, presumably
from the Virginia shore, had lodged against
the draw of the Highway bridge, forming Q
block and preventing smaller pieces OF ice
from passing through the bridge. / ordered
the fireboat to proceed to this point, break
up the ice, and push it through the bridge.
The officer in charge, Lieut.. r. Fl. Nohe, re-
ported to me on his return that he found the
ice as reported and that he had broken 1t
up and cleared the channel from the Long
bridge to the Aqueduct bridge.
TOO much praise cannot be accorded to
Capt. Brown and his crew and their one
available boat for the energetic and sue
cesSful labor in preventing what at one
time threatened to be an ice gorge in the
river and in keeping the river channel open
for navigation.
THE work of the boat has demonstrated
that the ice was at no period too thick to
prevent it from reaching any point on the
river between the Aqueduct and Highway
bridges. During the time the fireboat was
engaged in the work Of breaking ice tele-
phonic communication was kept with the
shore so that the boat was in condition to
respond to any alarm of fire which might
have been received"
