If the recommendation of Chief
Ringer, made to the city council and
the mayor is followed, the fire horse
in Minneapolis will soon become a
thing Of the past. In the annual re-
port of the chief for his department,
just received from the publishers,
Mr.. Ringer advises the substitution of
auto fire apparatus to replace the
horses as soon as the city budget of
expense would permit. "Motor pro-
PEELED apparatus will both add to the
efficiency of the department and re-
duce the operating expenses" says
the report.

company, that concern is losing thou
sands of dollars every year through
more or less organized system OF
transfer exchanging. The offenders
are policemen, newsboys, elevator
men and the general public. Unless
some effort is made by the police to
stop the practice, this official says,
the street car company will try ia
have an ordinance passed by the city
councils of Minneapolis and St. Paul
making the use of transfers by other

the company is losing $4,000 year
