NEW YORK HAS MOST FIRES IN
PROPORTION TO POPULATION

Another considerable factor has been
You Honor's attitude on Ciyil Service
appointments. under which the Fire De
partment has literally obcyed your
executive order TO take the men from
tho eligible lists In the order set down
by the Civil Service Commission. am
sure this has hcartened the men In
their work and vastly increased their
efficiency.
During all this time tho uniformed
force has. perhaps. done better work
than ever before In the extingulshing
Il fires.
ms further Indicating the possibility
OF preventive work. ! mention the fact
that New York, on the figures Of 1910.
has ," fires for every 1000 inhabl-
iants. London only elghty.one. Paris
only s~eventy-four. Berlin only ninety
even, ~. Petersburg only seventy
three. and Vienna only nfty-nine.
AT present. there II a nre loss Of a
dollar for every dollar expended by
the city on the Fire Department. That

I succeeded in having bill introduced in the Senate of Alabama, providing for an appropria- tion for building and the appoint ment of commission to carry out this provision of the bill. I expect to hear tomorrow that the bill has passed the upper house. I find that both Southern states had use for ev- cry dollar in their respective treas- uries and while they want to make a creditable showing at San Francisco, lack of funds might prevent it.
