FIRE Loss IN 1878
Largest in Ten Years, TOtaling
Nearly 100000.
Average Loss ENcccdipgly Smali-A
Dozen Fires Constitute Bulk of
Amount--ISI Alarms Last
Year.

Last year was not kind to Burlington
as regards fires and, with 14 alarms. the
loss will probably reach close to 100000,
which is the largest amount to be lost In
en years. The number of alarms also
greatly exceeds those Of any year in the
history of the department. the next big
fcst year being In 1911, when 146 alarms
were sent in. For period Of ten years,
however, the average loss is exceedingly
small and while Burlington led the Uni
ted States in the point Of small losses per
capita one year, she has never left the
company Of the three or four leaders.
The amount expended on the fire depart
ment per capita Is also very small, being
about $1.34 for the year 1918.
During the past ten years, the total loss
by fires in Burlington, rs reported by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters. is
approximate $500 and the number
OF alarms to be sent IN that time Is | 05l,
10 that the average loss per fire Is S52S so.
The total loss last year would he exceed
ingly small were it not for one or two
large fires which had a big start under
favorable conditions. These were mostly
IN the humber yard district.
The first fire last year of any impor-
lance WIS IN the Plant building on tho
corner of North WinoosN avenue and
North street This was believed to have

ROUND HOUSE BURNED
Three Locomotives Belonging to
Rutland Railroad Damaged.
New Year Less Than -Four Hours old
When First Alarm Was Sounded
with Mercury Far below the
Zero Mark.

A spectacular fire was discovered
Thursday morning Just before four
O'Clock in the roundhouse Of the Rut-
land railroad, resulting in the destruc-
ton of that building and a partial loss
on three locomotives. which were there
at the time of the fire The agents Of
the railroad visited the scene of the fire
Thursday afternoon hut were not able
to calculate the loss. The reason for this
is that the locomotives are the principal
loss and just how much they are dam
aged Is not known.
There was n long delay in ringing in
the alarm from box 81 and when the bell
sounded the roundhouse was in flames.
Shief Niles, on seeing the confederation,
rang In the second call from the head
of Church street on his way to the fire
One of the reasons for the DELAY seems
to be that the workmen cndeavorcd to
get the engines out before they rang in
the alarm. Another reason was that they
saved all Of their personal property and
still another reason was that when they
started for box they had no clear idea
of the location of the nearest one.
When the hremcn arrived there was
little for them to do The tar roofing of
the roundhouse was quickly burned
through and the blaze was in full prog
ress. Six streams were put to work in
short time and the fire finally wore
itself out. All that remains of the build
Ing are the brick walls. The origin of the
fire is not known and those who We're in
the house at the time say that when they
first noticed the fire the entire structure
was in flames. The oil-soakod woodwork
made good fuel
The morning was the coolest Of the
season, and with a temperature of ten
or j. below zero, fighting the tire was
not pleasant.

Something In the marriage line quite
new to burlington was Hallcujah we'd

to the work of the Salvation Army.
Mrs. Captain White sang solo. entitled
"When the Pearly Gates Unfold" after
which the officer conducting the cerc-
mony, Major l.. NJ. Simonson of Hart
ford spoke and the bride and groom
stood up to be inscparably joined. Cap
tain and Mrs. White attended Cadet
Farmer and Sister Smith. and Color Ser
geant James Alfred Price of Montreal
held the Salvation Army flag over the
group. Major Simonson repeated the sal
walton Army marriage ceremony, and the
Rev. T.. q. Guthrie pronounced them man
and wife.
After the marriage had been accom-
plished an enthusiastic spectator in a
front seat showered the couple with rice.
after which everybody on the platform.
including Color-Sergeant Price, made
speeches The ceremony was punctuated
throughout by cat-calls and remarks
from drunken tramp who had wandered
In and taken rear seat.
The wedding took place in the First

buted $4,000. This was the next largest
year in number Of alarms, with 1i6. The
following year was good, with loss of
only s22.S32 in ia alarms. Then comes
1918, with the greatest loss Of all,
The statistics, If they show anything,
demonstrated the value of getting to
fire in n minimum of time That ex-
plains the large number of fires where
the loss was almost nothing. If n dozen
fires. where for some reason the flames
got a good start, were taken out the loss
would be almost nothing.
