Under7cr7ters' Engineer Says En-
gines Arc Not Properly Arranged.

Captain 6. S. Curtis, an engineer employed by
the New York Board of Fire Underwriters TO in
vestigate the working of the Fire Department was
the principal witness called before the Commission
er of Accounts at yesterdays inquiry into the Fire
Department. After investigation of the fire de-
partments in twenty-four OF the principal cities
OF the United States Captain Curtis said that he
did not believe that the New York Department had
sufficient technical talent to get the service
from the engines. The arrangement of engines at
fires, he said, was distinctly bad where the water
supply was poor AT the fire at the Joy Line pier
recently he said that rst-class engines were p1mn-
ing. in some cases one-half and third of their
capacity OF water
At his request first class engine was run ar tts
highest pressure and then only pumped eight hun
dred gallons minute. which he said was much less
than It's capacity. Witness told of the disadyan-
tages or small connections for engines at fires At
u fire in Broadway which he attended he said the
212 inch connection was used by the large and
small engines. Chemical engines CAPTAIN Curtis
said. We're Of great benefit. snd had put out 10 Der
cent Of the fires In Boston last year and 55 Def
cent Of those in Baltimore In the same period
