ton the city issued bonds to the
amount of $4,000 and Improvement
bonds to the amount of 100000. For
improvements, extensions and add
tons there have been appropriated
from loans $4,000. The interest on
the sinking fund amounts to s4,S3696
and the cash received from all other
sources and paid into the city treas
ury during this period amounts to
81, 12G,605.73, making a total to be ac-.
counted for Of $1.470, 442.09
This sum Of $1,470.442.09 is account
ed for as follows: Paid for the equity

(bonds $4,000. coty note s15,0O0), $75,-

paid out of the earnings. 1t would
seem only Just that this amount

apparent net earnings for this period
to be $213,52S44. The book value Of
the plant May Is, 1912, would appear

FIRE LOSS LOWEST
IN TWENTY YEARS.
t49 Alarms and Total Loss of 50, 1871
Chief Stanton Urges MotorA ppa-
Fatus.

The annual report of Howard l..
Stanton, chief Of the Norwich Fire de-
partment for the year ending June
30, 1912, shows a permanent force of
~ men, call force numbering 81,
and so volunteers, a total working
force of 104. The department respond
ed to 149 alarms, 16 less than the pre-
ceding year. OF this number there
were thirty bells, eighty telephone,
and thirty-nine still alarms. There
were no second or general alarms.
Four alarms We're received for fires
outside of the city limits. The chief
account for the very small loss in
proportion to the number Of alarms by
the automobile combination chemical
which has enabled the department to
make a quick response during the
time it has been in service. The to-
tai loss for the year was $9,S19.71, the
smallest in 10 years, about $4,000 less
tina nthe previous year. OF the causefs
Of fires and alarms seven We're for
brush fires, IL for children playing
with matches and As for chimney fires.
Cigarettes caused and cigars ?, fire.
crackers6, and grass fires 3.
Total Risk s247,o25.
The total at risk, buildings and con-
tents was $247, OPS Total insurance on
buildings and contents s159.650.
Regarding the automobile, Chief
Stanton finds that the cost per day
for 10 days including demonstrating
was IS 1-2 cents. The cost Of main
| tenance of a team of horses for the
same number Of days Is $3.50.
The chiefs recommendations are as
follows:
West Thames Street Station Needed.
Many things are needed in the de-
| partment that would add to its eff
/ fieiency but the amount of money APP
pTopriated will not allow the i'm
provements to be made. The station
at West Thames street, now vacant.
should be put in condition, and piece
of motor driven apparatus purchased
and located therein. This is largely a
residence section but there are also
several valuable industries located at
! Thamesville that should have better
! fire protection. More fire alarm boxes
! are needed in different sections Of the
| city. Also more hydrants should be
set in different sections as the dis
lance spaced is too great to reach
certain risks without using long lines
of hose.
More Motor Driven Apparatus.
1t would be in the line of economy
adm progress to purchase more motor
driven fire apparatus, displaying more
! horses, as the automobile now in serv
ice has proven its value though in
service but four months. ] earnestly
recommend that the water mains in
Water, Shetucket and Commerce
streets be increased in size as this is
a wholesale and hazardous district
and where most OF the combustibles
are stored. The six mains now in
service are not adequate to give the
/ necessary fire flow.
