request for a sufficient Appropriation
to equip the department with a COM
plete Bertillon system such as has
been exhibited to the members Of the

Another Of the special items is a
request for the money to purchase a

FIRES ON INCREASE.
Record of Last Year Likely to be
Passed by 1908.

The year 1907 broke all records in the
fire department for the largest num-
Der of alarms received by the depart
ment in 12 months with. total of COZ,
which In turn broke the record Of the
year before by quite number of
alarms. While It is early In the year
to predict what the total for 1908 will
be 1t seems already assured that this
year will make a new record by sur
passing last year. For the first sew
en- months Of the year. that is up to the
end Of July there was recorded total
of Ais alarms for this year against 345
for the same period Of last year max
ink the year so far 10 ahead of 1907.
A noticeable increase in the number of
bell alarms so far this year plays a
large part in the general increase there
being 141 bells against 10S for seven
months of last year. BY total Of "a
last month this July broke the record
of 81 made last year with ease so that
there Is considerable lead shown so
far. August in 1907 however, was the
largest month ever recorded there be-
ing 101 alarms which will hardly be
equalled this year Nevertheless four
teen have been sent in so far which Is
start that promises q large month
this year.
