Without asking a special appropr1a-
ton and without exceeding the regular
appropriation granted the fire depart
ment last June the fire commissioners
and Chief Howard L. Stanton have add
ed two new pieces of motor apparatus to
the central station equipment. Both
pieces, one REQ speed wagon convert
ed into a chemical and hose wagon and
the other a new REQ six-cylinder car for
Deputy Chief Henry R. Taft, were deliv-
cred at the central station on Chestnut
street Saturday morning and were in
commission, ready to answer alarms, by
night,
The two new pieces of apparatus were
secured through the agency of William
r. Frisbie through the trading in Of the
deputy chiefs old car and the old horse
drawn auxiliary wagon formerly kept at
the Falls station and used for trucking
purposes for years back.
The new REQ speed wagon will not
only take the place of the old horse
drawn auxiliary wagon used in the re-
pairing of wires and for trucking pur-
poses between the various fire stations
in the city but will also serve as an addi-
tional piece of apparatus in fire fighting.
The apparatus Is equipped with sew
eral hundred feet of inch and a half hose
and several lengths of two and halt
inch hose, a roof ladder and extension
ladder carried on the side, chemical hose
and tank, two three gallon tanks OF
chemical, one on each running board
axes, crowbar, bell and -iren, etc.
The hose is coiled on the floor of the
machine and is completely covered. ex-
cept at the rear end, by a detachable
flooring which can be raised up and fold
oil a1l al
| for truckage space without interfering
| with the hose beneath.
/ Chief Stanton said that this car will
answer all calls for chimney and brush
| fires and will do away with the necessity
! Of sending out the heavy pumper on sucf
| calls. This will eliminate wear and teal
| on the departm expensive appara.

car and three or four men despatched il
