my in maintenance are the points OF
advantage emphasized by the commits
sioner in speaking of the new motors.
The busiest engines in the city do not
travel more than an average of mile
and half a day. They are idle at
least SO per cent of the time. While
the horses stand idle in their stalls
they consume food. but the automobile
engine when motionless does not con-
sumo gasoline. When the horses have
taken the engine or hose wagon or
ladder truck to a fire they stand near
by. watched and tended by a man spe-
cially detailed for that purpose. He
Is useless. so far as actual fire fighting
is concerned. He must guard his
team. The automobile, on the other
hand, requires no watcher. The crank
key is removed to prevent meddling,
and the formerly useless fireman goes
to add his efficiency and experience
and courage to those Of his fellows.
Twelve miles. or fifteen miles an
hour at most, measures the speed of
the horse drawn fire wagon, necessari-
Iy heavy and cumbersome. 1t looks
like one OF the swiftest things on earth
as the horses galIop through the
streets. but it is really slow compared
with the motor drawn fire engine. The
latter can go at the rate of twenty or
thirty miles an hour II need be. and
fits speed will lessen greatly the fear
Of fire felt by the jewellers in the out
lying portions Of the cities.
In real estate saving also the cost to

estimated that the new departure will
double the capacity Of the f1re houses.

The isolated and unprotected charac-

The Rio Grande isn't OF much use for
