PLANS TO BETTER
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Submits Estimate, Asking
for Money for Additions
to Equipment

OAKLAND. July l.-Chief Engineer
Ball has submitted to Auditor Gross
his estimate OF expenses for the fire
department during the fiscal year
which began today He requests an
apportionment in the tax income of
S404, 600 to cover the maintenance of
the fire service, tht reorganization of
the downtown companies on fully
paid basis and the improvement of the
equipment, with two new fire houses,
two new engines and two automobile
trucks.
The improvements listed in the
chiefs estimated are a continuance of
the policy pursued by the admin stra-
ton, toward the fire department during
the year just closed. Several houses
have been added, alterations and addi-
tions have been made to others and
new engines and hose wagons have
been purchased.
The apportfonment of the fire de-
partment last year was about $3.50 900.
Out of it came the various improve
ments which were made. The appar-
ent increase in the expenses is due to
the proposed reorganization of engine
companies l and and OF the new
Alice street company, so that the
nucleus Of metropolitan fire depart
ment shall have been formed.
An ordinance is pending In the city
council providing for the reorganiza :
ton of the two downtown companies
In Fifteenth street and in Sixth street.
1t loks TO the appointment of two cap
tains, three lieutenants and Is paid
flremen.
Other items in the CHIEFS estimate
are for the requirement of new sites
for fire houses.
