ance. Cause unknown. Time Is minutes.
Fire station No. 36.-On June l4th.

by Earl Firestone. Company responded
to fire at Ezekiel Borden's barn. Barn
totally destroyed and the loss OF a horse;
Loss $500, $3.50 Insurance. Time, 10
minutes. Cause unknown.
Notwithstanding the unjust criticism Of
some and taking into consideration that
all Of our members with few exceptions
that attend these fires are working men,
| think that we make fairly good time
in responding to alarm of fires.
The Water supply of our borough at
times is below pressure as per contract,
which was noticed at the last fire and and
by inspecting it on July 10th 1908 at s
P. NJ. We could not get a stream above
the caves of st. Paul's Church. \
In line Of my duty on March 10Th
1908, I inspected the PENIS Grove
school and found the boiler room unsafe
and conditions surrounding same bad
which | communicated to Board of
Education and recommended certain i'm
rrovements as a precaution against fire,
which l hope will be finished before next
term of school. With the addition OF
fire escapes will make the school safe in
case fires.
As chief Engineer OF Fire department
| beg to call your attention to a matter
which means much to the efficiency Of
department and that is the matter Of
water supply and fire hydrants. l would
commend that the Water Company be
ompelled to keep pressure up to contracts
and that signal bell be run from phone to
sleeping room OF Mr.. Risner so as ne can
be communicated with at any hour of
night also that fire hydrants be kept in
good shape.
In conclusion l will state that | will
personally test and inspect water pres
sure and fire hydrants at least once a
month. Thanking you for past courtesies
| remain very respectfully
DAVID JOHNSON.
