 all are not expected to respond to box 23. at the corner of Bradley and State streets. the center of the business sec tion.
 It is, therefore, time that revison was made of the fire department reg ulations. or the time may come when this neglect will result in a disast- the barn door before the horse thief makes the visitation. Arrangements should be made whereby precautionary safety should always be given the center of the city. especially as at most of the fires the services of the entire department is not required. It might be well for all the fire apparatus to make the hitch" and be in readiness in case of need, but it is the height of folly for six or seven fire companies to run to a fire that could be better handled by half the number.
 With only one available fire engine in the department. no such long chances should be taken as at present in regard to that useful apparatus. At present the steamer responds to only q call from two-boxes in the city. and when wanted at other fires a special alarm is sent in and after the fire has gain ed great roadway. There are sections of the city where the water pressure is mt up to the standard and where the service of the steamer is absolutely needed in the event of a fire. There fore when there is a fire in the low water sections this steamer should be required to respond to the very first alarm. There are many defects in the present system that should be reme- died. It is suggested that the mayor. fire committed. chief engineer and as- sistants and the officers of the fire de- artment hold a little smoke talk and perhaps the result would be a better ment of the service of the fire depart ment, and without any material in- crease over the present schedule of expenses. Now is the opportune time. at the beginning of the new year, and before there is any serious loss to property and perhaps loss of lives by the present apparent negligence. New London has efficient firemen and mod ern apparatus, so the fault is with the system and not with the hremen or the fire-f1ghting machines.
 Mayor Mahan and the police com mittee of the court of common council will make official inspection of the po- lice force and the station house next Monday evening, just prior to the monthly meeting of the council. The mayor will not as has been published, take occasion at that time to institute

PITTSBURG, Feb. AFTER fifteen
years of uncertain existence, the Pitts

has been maintained, to a corporation
of citizens, who by subscription, will
provide permanent fund to insure
the desired income. This fund is to
be raised by series of subscription
memberships to which any one is elig'
