FIRE LOSS FOR PAST
 YEAR IS $67,OOO
Annual Report Of Chief Dame Sub-
 mitted to Safety Board

New Britain's fire loss for the fiscal year from March l, 1917, to Febru- ] ary 2S. of the present year was $67,- 900, according to the annual report of Chief Robert M. Dame, submitted to the public safety board for considera- ton at it's next meeting. The report shows that the year has been but slightly above normal and but for the abnormal conditions of the night of February 21, resulting from the &C., tivities of the "firebug", the report would have showed no more disastrous year than formerly. That not only has the present high standard of eff1- ciency been maintained but improved upon during the year is shown in the report. The report shows successful year and rapid strides in bringing the department up with the best in stand ing.
 Of the $e7,OOO fire loss for the year, $22,OOO includes the toll of the "firebug" scare. The. fire loss of the eight incendiary fires was originally placed at a much higher figure but Chief Dame believes that the real loss will not exceed the figure mentioned. The past year is considered of much importance in the annals of the de- partment. Material progress has been made in the campaign to change over the roster of the department to as nearly permanent as is possible. AL though the total number of men in the department, both permanent and call considered. is smaller than previously the number of permanent members is the largest in the history of this branch of the city's' activities. There has also been material progress in mo- torization of apparatus, the last pair of horses being scheduled for dis posal soon.
 There were eighty-five men in the department at the beginning of the year. The present roster is seventy nine six men being lost during the year, one by retirement, two by death and three by resignations. Driver Michael J. Claughsey of Engine Co. No. 3 received fatal injuries when a funeral hack was struck by train at the Washington street crossing and Capt. John O'Brien of the same com pany died at St. Francis hospital in Hartford after a lengthy illness. Mi chael Butler of Engine Co. No. 2 was transferred and promoted to the cap taincy of Engine Co. No. 3.
 James McConkey of Engine Co. No. was pensioned during the year and the resignations of James Toomey, John Higgins and Adolph Sperl were accepted. There are forty-three regu- lar firemen and two others have been appointed but have not assumed their duties. Three new motor pumps were added to the department, one pair of horses being the sole motive survivor of the old days. They are stationed at l headquarters on Commercial street ! and only used occasionally in drawing : the large aerial ladder.
 ] In the belief of Chief Dame, mem-
 bers of the department were given {, their most rigid test in the history or : the city during the past year and
 came through the ordeal in most
 creditable manner. The fires were
 big, threatening and dangerous which
 compelled every man to show what
 was in him and do his best work. They were in crowded business districts,
 residential sections and the outskirts.

One of his com panions who had already enlisted re- marked later that the youth had nev- CT earned $7 week in his life, let alone give it to his mother.
 Another strange applicant appeared for enlistment Saturday night. He said he was a former E company man who had been rejected at the border. Asked why, and he replied in all se- riousness: ''Cold feet" He explained that he did not care for the life along the border so faked being ill. His en- listment was not accepted.
 Automobiles for Onicers.
 Officers in command of Company E., as are officers in charge of every com pany, have orders to visit theirs out posts very frequently, but without the use of automo piles 1t is difficult to do this. Company E. has no funds to pay for the hire of an automobile and public spirited citizens are loaning the use of their machines at various times. Yesterday James J. Naughton loaned his car. An attempt is being made to secure ten public spirited car owners who will agree to loan their car for two hours each day. By such an arrangement each man would loan the use of his car for two hours only once every ten days. -.
