When this piece of ap- paratus Is installed at fire headquarters the department will be better eouipped than at any time in It's history. The department will be equipped with mo- tor hose truck with pump and the new ladder truck at the headquarters on Union square and with a second hose truck at the headquarters of No. 2 cem- pany on Smith street For the past two years the department has been handi- capped by not having ladders, The only apparatus on which ladders were car ried was a horse-drawn truck and the city has been unable to make a con tract with any horse owner to draw the apparatus to fires.

Several times the department has lost valuable | time on arriving at the location of a ! fire because there was no way of reach | ing it until laddersi were procured from some other source than the department itself. There has been feeling of un- easiness since the situation ilsefi nrst arose but this has now been eliminated by the citizens voting an appropriation and the committee buying modern piece of apparatus.
