WESTERLY

The steam fire engine of the Cyclone company has probably pumped its last stroke as a fire apparatus in the West erly fire district. It is several years since this steamer was in actual fire service, but it was always supposed to be ready for use in emergency. Chief George Egger recently made an exami nation of the boiler of this engine, and | discovered what seemed to be a small crack in the steam doIne. An expert welder was engaged to make repairs for ti1e-sum of $50. Later another exami- nation showed that the boiler had be- come almost as thin as sheet of paper, and would probably have exploded even under a light pressure of steam. This boiler has been in use for about twenty five years and is beyond repair. The apparatus could not be put back in commission at. cost of less than $500 and Chief Egger believes such ex- penditure would be a public waste.
 The chief says that what the Wester- ly department needs is a modern triple combination fire apparatus, that is combined hose, and chemical apparatus, with pumps of high capacity, that could be utilized anywhere and under any cir cumstances.
 There are five Westerly cases, with two defendants to be heard by the grand jury at Kingston today (Ronday) upon the convening of the superior court.
