CHANGES IN FIRE
DEPT. SUGGESTED
Chief MarkwIth, of East Or
ange, Offers Recommends
ton in Annual Report.

Increasing the East Orange fire de-
partment so that there will be eight
men In each of the five companies
replacing horse-drawn apparatus
with motor driven vehicles; estab-
lishment of a bureau of combustibles
and charging the dormitory and bath
room at headquarters-these are the
principal recommendations in the an
nual report of Chief William e.
Markwith, which was sent to Mayor
Julian A. Gregory today.
Lack OF proper sleeping accommo-
dations for the men at headquarters
is deplored by the fire head and he
explains the dormitory is not only
congested, but that the health of the
men is endangered. The room is di-
rectly above the stalls of the horses
and the fumes emanating from the
stables the chief States, are almost
sckening.
In a report of the fire commission,
which was also forwarded to the
mayor these apparently unsanitary
conditions are alluded to and the
commissioners announce their inten-
ton of requesting the city council
for sufficient money to make i'm
provements.
Chief Markwith emphasizes his be-
lief that the installation of motor
apparatus throughout the city would
involve the saving of considerable
money each year, and makes refer
ence to the successful operation of
auto vehicles in nearby municipali-
ties. He states the necessity of re-
placig the chemical wagon at Com
pany No. 5, which he says is made
quate for service.
The chief explains preparations
are under way for replacing the
horse-drawn apparatus at headquar-
ters with autos, and he expects the
machines to add greatly to the eff
cheney of the department.
Regarding the establishment of the
bureau of combustibles, the chief
says frequent inspections of places
where gasoline tanks and other ex-
plosives are kept convinces him of
the necessity for such a board.
In urging the appointment of addi-
tional men, the chief declares the
department Is somewhat handicapped
because of the small force. There are
forty men in the department, includ-
ing the officers. Additional men for
the hook and ladder companies par
ticularly are recommended.
Figures in the report show the de-
partment responded to 1870 alarms
during the year, which was forty-six
more than was answered in 1912. The
losses caused by the fires totaled
$685. 1875, entirely covered by insurance.
OF the alarms answered six were false
calls and two outside the city limits.
1t required S54 ,241.71 to maintain the
department during 1913, the commits
sioners explained in their report. 1t
is minated that there will be an in
crease in this years budget in view
of the improvements contemplated by
the commission.
Excellent discipline was maintained
throughout the year, according to the
commissioners, and they highly
praised the department members,
particularly Chief Markwith and As
sistant Chief John Flynn, and ex-
tended their congratulations for the
achievements of the men.
The alarm system is being steadily
the commissioners report,
and they predicted 1t will not be long
before all the wires will be under
ground.

EPIDEMIC CHECKED
IN EAST ORANGE
Every One of ia Measles Pa
tients Out of Danger, Says
Health Board.

Though TIA cases of measles have
de1-eloped in East Orange since the
1li.st of the year, the Board of Health
of that city last night was sure the
epidemic is checked and that no Sc
rious consequences will result
William T. Bowman, health officer,
informed the commissioners no
deaths occurred from the many cases
and that there was no reason for
alarm. Mr.. Bowman stated there
We're 152 cases in December and 1872
during the year of 1912.
Differences between G. w. Thomas,
of PIG Midland avenue, and John
Fitzgerald, who occupies a dwelling
owned by Mr.. Thomas, and who
claims the natter does not provide
water for him, were aired before
the commissioners.
Mr.. Thomas said he wants his ten
ant to vacate the premises. but that
Mr.. Fitzgerald refuses The COM
missioners told Mr.. Thomas 1t was
compulsory for him to furnish the
water under city ordinance. He
declared that he wants the Fitzgerald
family to get the water at his home
when 1t is convenient for him, but
that the tenants make no effort to
get 1t at a particular time. Mr..
Thomas went to the meeting in re-
Spouse to a RICHEST of Health Officer
Bowman, who. wanted the board to
learn the facts in the controversy.
Rewarding Roger H. Butterworth
for his faithful services during the
year. the board reelected him presi-
dent. George w. Lang, master
plumber: James ]. Taugher. a jour-
neyman and Health officer Bowman,
were selected to compose the recently
established board of examiners.
Need of a plumbing inspector for
the city was pointed out by Mr.
Bowman, and he was instructed to
ascertain whether the Civil Service
Commission has an eligible list from
which rhe board can select such an
officer.
Contagious diseases reported for
December by the health officer were:
Diphtheria, 10; scarlet fever, A; tuber-
culosis, 10; typhoid fever, ., and
chickenpoX, IL.
The activities of the department
for 1918 were reviewed in the annual
report of Mr.. Bowman. He said
there were no serious outbreaks of
contagious diseases, and he attrib-
uted this to the aid given by the
medical inspectors of the schools.
Mr.. Bowman was positive there was
no reason to fear many cases of ty-
phoid fever, as he said the citys milk
supply was excellent. East Orange
residents consume $1,000 quarts OF
milk each day, and the official ex-
planned that extraordinary pains are
exercised to prevent the supply from
becoming unsatisfactory.
Two licenses of milkmen were re-
volSed during the year because their
product was not up to the require
ments of the department, and the
milk from one dairy was excluded
because the health officer considered
conditions at the place insanitary.
Fifty-eight deaths occurred from
contagious diseases during the year
There were ia cases of diphtheria, 6;
of scarlet fever, IL of typhoid fever
and SIS cases Of tuberculosis.
