 The annual reports of Fire Chief Robert M. Dame and Chief of-Police William J. Rawlings will be con- sidered at future meeting. The re- port of, the former will show that the fire loss, of the past twelve months was a,- trifie over ,$67,000 more than for some years past. This amount is materially increased by the loss of $22,S0O, incurred the night of Febru- arv ~21. due to the incendiary. There were 217 calls for apparatus.
