FIRE DEPT. MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT
Claims Winter of 1918
Most Severe in History
of Department.

1. w. Sibrel. chief Of the fire de-
partment, submitted his annual re-
Fort TO the safety board at the meet
ing held last night Chief Sibrel
again requests the installation of a
private telephone system. He made
this same request last year, but
without success.
His report is as follows: II wish to
cali attention to the increased eff
cheney Of the department in the last
few years This is due very largely
TO the addition Of motor apparatus
AID the ADDITION of numerous pieces
of smaller equipment which have
been added. The cost of upkeep has
increased very much over that Of
last year. This was largely due TO
the war prices which prevailed. The
department has suffered somewhat
because of this condition. Having
passed through the winter of 1917
IS, which was the. worst in the eX-
perience of this department, very
deep snow and bad roads, causing
great expense which would have
been eliminated under normal con-
ditions.
The number of alarms will be q
few less than the preceding year,
ard the great number of alarms is
due TO the general use Of soft coal
and wood shingle. which are both a
menace 10 the community High
winds cause chimneys 10 burn out
and scatter burning SCOT on the
shingles. which soon catch fire and
thereby become a menace to the en-
tire city because of flying sparks.
The quartely inspections OF the
business and factory districts have
also aided in keeping the fire loss at
minimum. These inspections have
greatly decreased the fire loss in
these districts through the cleaning
up OF waste paper. rubbish and
ashes, and the closer attention 10
cleaner housekeeping. The inspec-
I tions this year covered the entire
residence districts. and a great many
corrections have been made.
Also the discipline of the depart
ment as a whole has been good.
Il also wish 10 continue the rec
ommendation of former years. TO
purchase more motor apparatus TO
take the place Of the present horse
drawn apparatus in the outlying dis
tricts. The increased amount Of
work in these districts being the re-
suit Of increased building The cost
of maintaining horse drawn appa-
ratus i'm these stations is many times
the upkeep cost Of motor apparatus,
and not nearely SO efficient.
81 also wish 20 recommend the in
stallation OF a private telephone sys-
I tenn which would connect all fire
stations. This would add greatly TO
the speed and efficiency in transmit
ting telephone alarms 20 outlying
stations. thus avoiding the necessity
OF answering numerous calls OF
Y curious citizens before being able 70
I transmit the location OF the fire or
call 70 other companies.
Another recommendation would
DE the addition Of az least FIVE more

recently, Stuart MacKibbin, past
master of the lodge and mason of
the 3Srd degree, delivered an inter
esting address before the lodge Fri
day night relative TO the speculative
and operative masonry which pre-
vailed during and following the

Mr.. MacKibbin will probably lee
ture again i'm the near future ON

from its inception in 1717, when the
four lodges i'm London. ENGLAND.
met and formed a grand lodge.
An interesting sidelight on the
present war. which threw masons
together from every cline in the
world. was Mr. MacKibbin's state
ment that a lodge of masOns was
assembled by English colonial sol
diers and opened in a certain sec
ton of Jerusa lem when the British
entered the ancient city just before
the conclusion of the war. The set
ting was a place prominent in ira
ditional history and which is
spoken Of in reference TO David's
reign i'm the old Testament 1t is
situated i'm Jerusalem and. until the
British occupied the city was
closely guarded by the Moslems as
"a place sacred TO their religious ira
ditiou also.
Until both speculative and oper-
alive masonry became known. there
was a band of artificers in Tyre, or
sanized as "a fraternity. whose Sc
crets were closely related TO oper-
ative masonry ard whose fraternity
antedated the speculative and oper-
ative masonry which originated in
the temple Of Solomon, according
TO Mr. MacKibbin. II was from
Tyre. AIR. MacKibbin explained,
that a figure prominent in tradi-
tional masonry journeyed TO Sole
mon and aided him Ina the construc-
ton of the temple.

speculative character. which is pc
culiarly related to the early history
OF the American colonies and which
has been held IN high esteem by
men throughout the world since its
inception in 1711, when it became
