city and the general Government shared
equally the cost of the fire service.
Seemingly the Federal Government
has never guarded its valuable property
including its unreplaccable archives. tc
the fullest extent Hardly had the
Government been moved here when the
War Office was practically totally de-
Stroyed only a few of its records being
saved Doubly unfortunate was this
fire. since many records of the Revolu-
tionary War were burned.
III 1901 the Treasury Once. as il
wa then called. was on fire. sustaining
however. but little loss. 1t was at this
fire that Thomas jefferson. then Prcsi-
dent, assisted in passing along the fire
buckets
The opposite political parties in the
carly DAYS had a habit after every fire
Of accusing the party in power of pur-
poscly starting the fire TO destroy eti-
dence of miSgovernment. II is very
doubtful If the accusation was true.
nevertheless one thing may be said
without refutation. and that is that
posterity can never recover the lnior-
maticn contained in the valua5lc pa
perS and books which were in many
instances careleSSly and negli9cntiY
lost through the many fires the Gov
ernmcnt has from time to time suffered.
TWO of the greatest losses thus sus-
tanned were the burning of the
B,odgett Hotel Building on December
Is. 1886. and the Patent Office Build
ing on September -. 1877. "
In the case Of the former. the build
ing which was on the north side of E
street between Seventh and Eighth
streets. where now is the General Land
Office. was completely consumed before
the fire companies could be of any
service In this building were the Pat
ent Office. the Post Office Department.
and the City Post Office, and the great
cst loss sustained was the loss NJ all
the models deposited with the Govern
ment from the beginning Of the patent
service in l790--a real calamity 10 in
ventive science
There must be indeed. only few
persons living who can remember this
