Although the fire report is not yet in
for the year of 1910. 1t is evident that the
loss in Burlington is not as large as was
at first supposed. being estimated by
those who should know at $4,000. This is
greatly in excess Of 1909. when the to-
tai reached only the nominal figure of
$3.50, but is attributed mainly TO two
large fires, the Hotel Burlington and
Walker block. and at ST. Paul's Church
The department again showed itself cap
able of taking care of fires, for n alarms
were rung in and the loss outside of the
two big ones, was exceedingly small. The
alarms numbered g more than the previ-
Gus year, when there were only 76 The
value of a prompt alarm was demon
strated. as in both the large fires the
department was not notified until the
flames had made good Roadway.
