serious fire from the water front
alone, and the supply obtainable from
hydrants in the section affected is toe
small to supply even the engines in
service.
In other parts of the city the in
adquate water supply greatly increas;
es the probability of the total des-
truc,ion of individual buildings; the
fairly good proportion of brick build!
ings and non-combustible roofs tends
to lessen the probability of such a fire
spreading.
Recommendations.
There are large number of rec
concentrations made by the engineer,
the following OF which are deemed of
most Importance and their early
adoption urged:
That the distribution system be
strengthened by the early installation
Of the mains given in the table below,
and Of such mains as are necessary to
furnish fire supply as follows:
a. In mercantile and manufactur-
ing districts, 5000 gallons a minute.
b. In closely built residential
districts, 1000 gallons minute.
c. In outlying residential districts,
a minimum of 1900 gallons a min
ute.
The above quantities to be in excess
Of domestic consumption and to be
available in the high value districts
about any large building or group Of
buildings of special hazard, and in
residential districts about any block.
Recommended Mains.
1G-inch, Cameron ST., from Payne
ST., to union St.
12-inch, Union St., from Wolfe ST.,
to Oronoco st.
10-inch, St. Asaph St., from Duke

S-inch, Fairfax st. from Gibbon
st., to Princess st.
S-inch, Wolfe St., from Union st.
o Fairfax st.
S-inch, Queen St., from Union St., |
o Fairfax St.
That the city Immediately replace
visiting hydrants on King street and
Union street, and those near manufac-
uring plants; in addition, upon the I
aging of the mains hereinafter rec
install a second hydrant
t each street intersection along King
nd Union streets and on Cameron St,
t Lee, Fairfax, Royal and Pitt Sts.;
lso replace all 4-inch branches and
il hydrants having 4-inch or smaller
arrels within a period of five years.
That all new hydrants have l-2
?ch steamer and a 2 1-2 inch hose
cit, 6-inch barrel and 6-inch gated
to street main.
Fire Department.
That full paid chief be appointed,
18th removal only for cause, and that

wo lieutenants and nine men. Euip-
nent to consist of an automatic 65

GREASE WORTH SAVING
ALL KITCHEN BY-PRoDUcTs
eHoULD BE ISOLATED.
Having Only One Common Pot Is Poor
Economy-DIfferen Meat Prod
ucts Enhance tho Flavor Of
the Various Dishes.

All housewives have q grease pot,
but they should make 1t plural. In
stead Of singular, and have pot1 The
greasss nom various kinds Of meats
are the most valuable by-prodpcts
from the kitchen. II isolated from
each other. Dumped cRrslessly into
common pot, they are ut only for
the old-fashioned soap pot Divided
and subdivided they will not only en-.
hanos the favor Of the kitchen prod
uots, but they will largely contribute
to the saving of money.
Every one knows that pork grease
Is . fine thing In which to fry sweet
potatoes, and that 1t gives them bet
ter flavor than lard or butter, but
does every one know that ham grease
is the best OF all2 Or, that beef drip
pings make fried potatoes Joy? Or,
that lamb fat II the finest thing In
which to warm over lima beans2
What is needed in the kitchen is
not q grease pot, but a number Of
them. The drtppings from beefsteak
should 30 into one; that is, the fat
which is always cut OF from beef
steak, and which the housewife should
ask the butcher to give her; 1t has q
flavor which no other part Of the
beef fat has. and to this should be
added the sorapltnss Of the beefsteak
platter, too often. alasi consigned to
the garbage pail. The skimmings
from beef stevs, and from beef roasts
should be put into this pot, and the
whole reserved for the FIRING of white
potatoes, and for the navoring of the
lard In which French fried" potatoes
are cooked.
Lard is perfectly wholesome ele-
ment In which to cook food, provided
that soms savory favor be added to
It. The grease from sausage and pork
chops. kept in a separate pot, can be
added to It, IN case one wishes to
fry sweet potatoes or parsnips. which
are delicious, with this favor psrme-
ating them.
Lamb stews. the Juice from lamb
chops and veal outlets (soraped from
the platter) should be kept In one pct.
This Is nice to add to lima bean soup
or to common bean soup, and also
give an unusual flavor to egg omelets
and to French toast" which Is fried
In grease, after having been dipped
In batter.
The grease from chicken. duck and
goose we'll deserves a pot all by Itself,
for II Ia the aristocrat OF the grease
family and Its uses should be con-
fined to the moro delicate dishes. An
enticing variation on the ordinary boil
ed oaulifiower Is to take head which
has previously been cooked and drain
ed, dip 1t lightly in batter nnd fry it
in chicken or fowl grease. This Is
the Italian method and Ia . wholly
new dish to American tables. AS
paragus lightly fried In small but
deep pot OF fowl grease is also new.
and when sprinkled With grated Far
mesan cheese can be used alone as
an entree.
