UNDERWRITERS REPORT
Many Suggestions for Importing
the Fire Department.

The National Board of Fire Underwriters has
forwarded to John Purroy Mitchell and f. Y. Gala
her, Commissioners OF Accounts copy OF the re-
port of the national boards engineers as to condi-
tons III the Fire Department.
The report recommends that the assigning OF
members of the uniformed force to theatre details
be discontinued and that owners or propretors OF
theatres be required by law to employ experienced
men, able bodied retired remen preferred, to serve
under the supervision of the theatre inspector or
the bureau OF violations. Other recommendations
are that chemical engines be installed in all highly
congested districts and elsewhere by equipping all
hose wagons with chemical tanks. and that nine
engine companies be established near certain
specified street corners.
OF tests it is said that inadequate water supply
prevents extra large engines from pumping to their
full capacity. OF crews the assertion is made that
out of forty-ive tested twenty showed lack of ex-
perience in getting reasonable water supply from
their engines, and it is accordingly recommended
that these crews be trained while twenty-three en-
gines should be taken to the repair shop and put
in such condition that they will deliver at least 80
per cent of their reasonable capacity. The report
shows that below 59th street 38.7 per cent of the
f1remen fourth grade, or green men. while
1871 per cent third grade while companies
in uptown sections. where the dangers of fire are
at minimum, have frequently green men at all.

OPPOSES FREIGHT RATE INCREASES
Henry Fink Believes Railroad Employees Will
Consent Later to Wage Reduction.

Henry Fink chairman of the board OF the Nor
folk & Western Railway Company. who during his
railroad career has five industrial crises eH-
pressed himself yesterday rather emphatlcauy IN
opposition to the much criticised plan or raising
freight rates at this time. He said
1T seems to me that the shippers of the country
are needlessy exertng themselves in their protests
against an increase in freight rates. The railroads
can be depended upon not to DO anything TO injure
the traffic that they still have. and the way to get
more traffic is certainly not to raise freight rates
at a time like this I do not mean to say that
many rates are not lower than they should ne, but
these are subject the process of gradual adjust
ment that is going all the time A general in
crease could have been made during the boom times
without any injurious effects, but now it cannot be
made until business revives.
In former periods OF depression it has been the
habit Of the roads to lower rates rather than to
rails them but has also been their habit to re
duce wages. in response to economic law Such a
development is yet likely to come before we are
through with present conditions, although not in
the near future.
"A little later think railroad employees will con-
sent to reasonable reduction of wages. Probably
they would have been willing to do so before this
had it not been for receiving powerful encourage
rnent not TO do so. They are to be blamed for
having taken advantage of the situation but eco
monte law Will have its way in the end

Rerenue and Water Bonds Must Be
Counted IN Debt Limit.

Controller Metz thought weeks ago that
he might be able to get hold OF about S8,CO0,WO
more through not counting in the city debt limit
so 600 600 revenue bonds outstanding, issued last
year, and $685., 1873 in water bonds, held By the
Sinking Fund Commission. The Corporation
Counsel, whom he asked for opinion the
problem. answered in the negative.
The So. 10000 revenue bonds those issued in
anticipation of last year and still outstand-
ing. The Corporation Counsel decided that these
bonds must be counted in the debt limit, only the
bonds for the current year to be included
The water bonds those issued for the Board
of Water Supply. The Sinking Fund Commission
bought more than six millions of the bonds at the
beginning of the work
Water bonds, BY the act creating the Water
Board, are not included in the debt limit. But it
thought possible that, being held by the Sink
ing Fund, the bonds their money equivalent
could be counted again the debt margin. The
Corporation Counsel says there has never been a
clear decision by the courts this question: and
he thinks it wise to subtract the money twice
until there has been a decision.

any son Of his must be able to milk COW in

Nowsch went to Rockville to replenish his
liquor cabinet. and when he turned his steps
toward Holland this afternoon he was drunk He
lurched inside the kitchen and shot was heard.
He had held a revolver before the crippled
mute's eyes so that the powder burned the flesh.

mills are with their mother tonight, heart
