CITY'S WORK MUCH HELPED
BY NEW MOTOR APPARATUS
Introduction of New Equipment
Under Mayor Blankenburg.

one of the principal achievements of
the Blankenburg administration has been
the adoption of motor-driven fire appa-
ratus, motor-driven police vehicles and
automobiles for prompt and efficient con-
duct of the citys affairs In other bu-
reaus. notably in supervision of highways
and the water system.
A report made public by City Controller
Walton today shows that, instead of the
IL cars in city service at the beginning
OF the present administration, there are
now "A motor-driven vehicles devoted to
city work.
Thirty-two of these cars have been pur-
chased for the fire bureau of the city.
The standard of the City's fire-hghtng
force, notoriOusly antiquated with its
ho-se-drawn apparatus at the beginning
of the Blankcnburg administration, is
now improved by the installation of the
modern gasoline-driven equipment.
Additional protection has been afforded
against fire that will ultimately bear an
influence on insurance rates. One big
modern aerial hook and ladder truck
propelled by gasoline power, cost 81 100
Compared to this present-day fire-hghtlng
engine this apparatus in the department
at the beginning of the Blankenburg ad-
ministration was of pigmy proportions,
In the Bureau of Police ten motor
driven cars have been purchased for
patrol wagon duty in the outlying sec
tions. These greatly facilitate the regu-
lar visits OF the police lieutenantslof the
distant districts TO police headquarters in
the City Hall.
Distribution OF these cars in the city
service and their cost are:
