Fire Marshal Lahey
 Giues Annual Report
D. J. Lafley Presented Very Interesting Statement About City Fire Department - Suggests That
 Present Laws on Fire Marshal Be MOdernized

An official suggestion that action be taken to modernize the laws governing the duties of the fire marshal of Waterbury is contained in the official report of Fire Mar shal D. J. Lahey as filed today with Mayor Frank Hayes. The marshal considers many of the laws obso- lete and, in variance with statute regulations. The safety. of the peo- pie at all times prompts the rec ommendation that a review of the present laws as pertaining to his office be revised.
 The most serious fires of the year, the promiscuous and illegal use of gasoline, inspections, results 1 of fire prevention week, various causes of fire, overcrowding or | theateRs and public gathering l places are among the features or the marshaPs interesting report. The fire, which destroyed the former AIS Tire Shop on the cor ner of West Main and State streets on December II, 1892. was the out standing blaze of the fiscal year of the department. Among the in cidents reviewed are the fire in Sugenheimer's and the explosion which rocked the twin blocks at 981 North Main street. The gar age fire involved a loss of $65,O0o, which included buildings. mer- chandise and 2S automobiles. The Colonade hotel opposite the garage suffered to the extent of $200. the adjoining Kilmartin's block. $1. 1.0Oe, and St Johns Church Corpora tion, $500. The Sugenheimer fire caused by rubbish. resulted ln damages estimated at $22.O00. This fire occurred on April 22nd. Explosions during the year in- cluded the incident at 981 North Main street when tin cans filled with black powder were malicious. ly discharged on the evening of July 4th. a two-story dwelling at Is Railroad Hill street on the morning of July 25th and on Ma, II, a furnace in the basement ot 73 Canal street.

The ship is being steered by dead reckoning, and for nearly two hours today it drifted all but help- lessly on a stormy sea with scores of icebergs around it.
 An idea of the problems posed by the icebergs is given by an ex- perience as the ship moved slowly eastward. -

 Iceberg off the port bow," cried a second.
 "Its the same berg" shouted the first.
 It was half a mile long and stuck 100 feet out of the water. The boat was turned away and in a few minutes the iceberg disappeared in fog.
 There was an acute situation toe. day when two enormous icebergs loomed 200 feet high. one off the starboard bow, the other off the port bow.
 It was decided to take the ship around them, as it was feared an attempt to pass between them might endanger it.
 Just then the engine room re- ported that water had leaked into
