NEED MOTOR PUMPING APPARATUS
Fire Department Committee Recommends Appropriation in Next City Estimates-Would Displace Two Horses Present Piece of Motor Apparatus Has Distinguished s7 Per Cent. of Fires Unaided in Past Year.

The recommendation that an appro- a combination motor pump and hose wagon be included in the next city estimates by the finance committee was included in the annual report of the Board of Fire commissioners thaat was presented on Monday evening to the common council.
 If this apparatus could be secured it would replace two horses and save the general overhauling of a chemical wagon, it is stated in the repoSt which also says that a number of improve ments contemplated by the fire com nnissioners remain undone because of lack of funds The principal need of the fire department is more motor driven apparatus and in view of that fact the committee recommend that steps be taken to procure at least one piece each year until the horses con- nected with the department are en- tirely displaced.
 The only piece of motor apparatus which is now owned by the Norwich department and which is located at the central station has extinguished ST per cent. of all fires in the past year without the aid of other appar- atus, owing to the quick response that can be made with automobile fire ap- paratuS.
 The fire commissioners who are Thomas H. Beclzley, William J. Kramer and M R. Waters say that they have kept within the appropria- tion and will have a small balance left over. Quite extensive repairs were made at the Greeneville station and other stations received some slight re- pairs found to be necessary for the comfort of the men.
 The apparatus remains the same as reported one year ago. several pieces needing extensive repairs, and some of

NORWICH MILK GOOD.
But Room for Improvement, Says Dr.
 Shahan, Milk Inspector.

Dr. D. J. Shahan, city milk inspector, made his annual report on Monday evening to the common council.
 In brief he said in opening his re- port:
 Your milk inspector wishes to state hat since his last report he has col .ected about 450 samples of milk and aream for laboratory analysis Of this number. 10 fell below the state stand ard for fat contents (3.25 per cent.) being probably watered; 130 stables and sheds were visited, and surround ngs. with accommodations for stock, examined. Over 500 cattle were in spected: IT stables and sheds were found lacking in sanitary, require- nents, which condition was soon inn proved; 45 stores, hotels, restaurants and candy kitchens were inspected, and 10 nuisances abated 5 mil5men were stopped from carrying swill in their Fagons, and 10 were told to clean up md diSinfect their wagons; 1 man was prohibited from distributing for pe- Iod Of "A hours, owing to poor quality sf milk samples; prompt improvement followed; l prosecution for selling poor milk was made; 1 man, for satisfactory 'easons, had his license revoked; Il complaints about poor milk were made, of which, from analysis of samples .aken, were unwarranted.
 It is somewhat difficult to produce perfect milk here, owing to several sontending factors: poor breed of cat le. careless upkeep in many intances md mediocrity of hired help.
 The milk inspector says our milk is sood, though there is room for inn Drovement. He reports on the foot and nouth disease, in consequence of which IA cattle and 38 swine in this vicinity Fere condemned. killed and buried.
 In conclusion he states:
 , In working out this ever-fermenting milk solution we often hear some pret- 2 raw remarks about watered milk ilthy peddlenS, interruptions milkmen 'tc- Now let it be stated by one who las had some experience in the busi- less that it is easier to get from those ,eddiers a barrel of good milk than a int of poor; that he who patronizes, or one reason or another, dirty milk nan, shares in his filth. and discounte- tances cleanliness elsewhere; that in riciously Investigating the shortcom- nES of others we unconsciously dis Hose our own. and, finally, that your Inspectors books are always accessible Q the citizens of this city; that he is iver ready to receive complaints, and Ilways willing to endeayor to rectify Aem tO the best of his humble ability

FAREWELL TO A
 DEPARTING MEMBER
Given by Rose of New Enaland's
 Woman's League.

The Rose of New England Woman's league met with Mrs. A. H. Randall of 19 Treadway avenue, and after the transaction of business a buffet lunch was served in honor of Mrs. Della White, one of the loyal and faithful members of the club, who has been making her home in this city for the past year and is about to take her departure for Goldsboro, N- c.

1t must be overhauled this year, unless motor apparatus is provided The horses connected with the department are all too old for fire service, and if horses are to be continued in the de- partment provision should be made to trade or sell some of the oldest of them and replace by younger stock.
 The fire alarm system was increas- ed by the purchase and installation of two new boxes, number 261 located at Boswell avenue and North Main street, and 47 at Laurel Hill avenue and Sunnyside avenue. New battery plates and renewal of the battery have been contracted for to be installed this summer as the old plates are en- tire1y gone. Also it has been de- cided by the commissioners to change the location of the bell and striker in the Greeneville district from the old tower that is beyond repair to the tower on the fire station in that dis trict. This has been under consid- eration for some time and is thought to be more economical than attempt ing the repairs to the old bell tower. The board have been able to purchase 10J0 feet of new hose the past year which is now in service, but this amount on hand owing to the dis placement of that amount by reason of age and the usual wear of hose. The department is in need of 1900 feet of new hose to keep the stations sup l'ied
 The department apparatus has crossed the city line several times to assist our neighbors when it was con- sidered wise to do so by the commis- sioners. On one occasion it was sent to Willimantic by request of the mayor of that city
 The discipline of the department is considered good and the members take a personal pride in the appear ance of their apparatus and stations.

Slow down when passing a police man, but at no other time
 Don't oblw the horn. To blow the horn stamps you as green driver and one who would rather miss pedestri- an than run over him.
 When you get a nervous person in the car with you, cut out the muffier, push the throttle open to the last notch and miss 15 delivery wagons by a hairs breadth, which shows the pas senger that you have got plenty of power and that you are a daredevil driver.-Br1dgeport Telegram.
