CHIEF REED
CONTINUED from Page one,

said department from April LIST, 1910,
TO January 1st, 1911.
l wish to impress upon the minds of
your honorable body that at the pres.
ent time there are being erected and
have been erected, a number OF build
ings OF such size and heighth that the
Fire Department with its present
equipment would, in case of fire. be Sc.
Yerely handicapped. il Is my opinion
that the fire department is not up with
the advancement Of our city. and |
therefore. recommend 10 your honora-
bile body the purchase OF q fire en-.
CINE and the rebuilding OF the Central
Fire Station at once along the lines
Suggested by your Fire Committee, as
thetbuiiding used at this time, as you
all know. els very undesirable and un-
ii .for the lpurposeitor which it is used.

ings in9the city of such height that in
case OF IRE. unless we could get to the
scene before the building filled with
smoke, Ne would be almost helpless.
The assistance OF an engien would be
very desirable and We would be en-.
ahled to force large treams OF waller
at a. considerable height.
A new fire station In the Fourth
ward would be very desirable. When
the new bridge connecting the Fourth
and Fifth ward is erected that station
could take care of both wards. and do
so much more quickly than under the
present arrangement.
We could avoid the danger OF having
the apparatus from the Central sta
ton out in either the Fourth or Fifth
ward at a time when fire would break
out In the business session OF the city.
We are running this risk every day
under the present system.
The appropriation for the Fire De.
partmentl for the year 1910 was Sl2..
$50. or this amount si,5O0.00 was for
new building, leaving S7,TS0.00 for
maintaining said departments. The
sum OF S5.0TG.55 was used for main
tanning the department from April list
to January 1st. leaving s2,783.45 for
running department for the next
three months, or up to April LIST. 1911.
The &c fires during the year resulted
from the following causes: Electric.
