provide as many fire buckets of
leathei and containing IA gallons,
as there were stories in such houses.
Every proprietor, neglecting to pro-
cure the proper number of buckets.
should forfeit 81 for each bucket. If
the proprietor Of any dwelling house

to procure them under the same PEN
atty for neglect and recover from
such defaulting landlord the expense
thereof.
Section 2 provided that all the
buckets should be entered and num-
bered in the Office of the register,
whose duty it was to record the name

the number Of tenants, who were
required to have the name and num-
Der painted on the buckets, under a
penalty of 81 for each neglect.
Section made it the duty of the
occupants of the houses to preserve
the fire buckets without suffering
them to be used for other purposes;
if any bucket was lost or destroyed
they were to. replace them within
one month, under penalty Oh SIS for
each neglect. They were required to
keep them in a conspicuous place
in the house and send them to any
fire thai might break out.
Section 4 authorized the mayor
Immediately to procure ladders and

Section 7 authorized the mayor to

act was signed by Samuel H. Smith,
president Of the first chamber of the
City Council of Washington; Nicho-
las King, president of the second
chamber, and approved by Robert
Brent, mayor"
SAMUEL H SMITH, here mentioned,
is the Samuel Harrison Smith
who came to Washington in 1900 and
established the National Intelligencer
and Washington Advertiser, the first
number of which was published Oc-
tober 81 of that year. He disposed
of the paper in 1910 to Joseph Gales,
and in 1912 it became the property
of Gales and Seaton. 1t continued to
be published for nearly 70 years, or
over a longer period than any Wash
ington newspaper, except The Star,
which has just rounded out its eighty
third year, its initial number having
been issued December 4, 1852.
The president of the second cham
Der, Nicholas King, was surveyor Of
Washington from 1903 to the time of
his death, May 81, 1912. He came to

THE next public Office to suffer loss
by fire was that of the Treasury
Department, which occurred on Janu-
ary 20, 1901. In this case the loss to
the building was slight, the flames
being largely confined to the room
occupied by the auditor.
At this time, we are told, the Demo-
cratic party had just won a victory
over the Federalists, and some of its
more radical members were loud in
declaring their belief that the Fed
eral party had made deliberate at
tempt to destroy records and thus
cover up evidence of its maladminis-
trauon, which otherwise would have
condemned it when the Democrats
came in and scanned the archives.
In consequence of these charges,
which were given great prominence
by the cabinet, newspaper then pub
Hshed here by son of Matthew Lyon
OF Vermont, congressional investi-
CATION was held, at which the testi-
mony showed the fire was due to de-
tective construction of the building.
But, according to an old account.
the fire was not extinguished until
after a stubborn battle of two hours
When 1t was gotten under control bv
citizens who fought the fire by means
OF bucket brigade In which Presi-
dent John Adams did his bit. so to
speak, for an eyewitness tells us: ct
had not much opportunity of seeing
Mr.. Adams on account of the short
stay he made among us. I think I
saw him three or four times, the first
time being when the Treasury office
was on fire. When the alarm of fire
was given several brothers and my
self ran up F street to where the
fire was. We were informed that the
President was in line and was busy in
aiding to pass the buckets to and from
the burning building. So, curiosity
to see the President induced us to
go up where he was, and there, sure
enough, we saw him in the line en-
gagged as above stated. He did not
remain there long, however, for some
gentlemen approached him and ad-
vised him to withdraw for fear he
might take cold. At this time
We had no hose; consequently, we had
to fill our engines with leather fire
buckets by forming two lines to the
pump-one line to pass the full buck
cts to the engine and the other line
to pass them back to be filled again"
IN ANTICIPATION Of such an
emergency, the Federal Govern
ment, as early as May, 1900, made
an appropriation Of something less
than $500 to purchase two fire engines
for the Treasury Department, but no
record seems to exist as to how they
were manned, and only one Of these
Is known to have been stored in or
near the Treasury, that one being To-

From Early Times
Loss of Property
Has Involved Very
Grave Defects in Ar
chive Materials.
By John CIaseH Proctor.

TINE loss of public property by
fire in the District of Colum-
bia began at an early date.
= Indeed, the first loss occurred
on November 8, 1900. only a few
months after Washington became the
Capital of the Nation, when the
building in which was temporarily
housed the War Department, and
much of its records, were destroyed.
The fire originated in the house Of
Jonathan Jackson, on the south side
of Pennsylvania avenue, short dis
tance east of Twenty-second street,
and spread to the adjoining building
owned by Joseph Hodgson. The fire
was discovered by an old colored man,
who at once gave the alarm, but, de-
spite the work of the citizens, the
building and contents, with the ex-
ception of one volume, in which con-
tracts and deeds of land sold to the
United States were recorded and some
of the papers of the accounting officer,
were destroyed. Since this time the
loss of some of these papers has been
greatly felt, especially in the prepara-
ton of historical documents, since
many could not be duplicated
Shortly after the fire the owner of
the building died, and after repeated
petitions to Congress by the widow,
Mrs. Rebecca Hodgson, a bill was
finally passed on May Z, 1922, appro-
priating $4,000 for the benefit Of the
legal representative of Joseph Hodg-
son, the amount being the value of
the building, rented in 1900 by Sam
uel Dexter, then Secretary Of War.
Mr.. Dexter was appointed Secretary
Of the Treasury on January l, 1901,
but continued to serve as Secretary of
War ad interim until Mr.. Jefferson
took Office, March 4, 1901.
The date of the burning of the War
Office, as it was then called, is sub
stantiated by Mrs. William Thornton
in her diary for the year 1900, when
she says, under Sunday, November 8:
When Joe returned he in
formed us that two houses in the city
were burned down last might've of
the best in the city''-and the follow
ing day, November 10: " Set of
early and got to town before 10 o'clock
The houses are quite destroyed. One
was temporary accommodation for
the War Office-the other was not
finished and inhabited by the man
who built it and who was dying at the |
time of the fire and obliged to be
moved out"
Evening star., 1935-12-15

THE several sections of this law,
together with the act of the City
Council Of July "a, 1904. brought into
existence the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment of the city, which did excellent
work, all things being considered.
until it was replaced by the paid
department in 1864. The several Sec
tions of the acts of 1903 and 1904
are quite interesting and, as copied

opposite to the south portico Of the

opposite to the south portico Of the
Treasury.
Though the damage to the building
was small, as stated, yet the loss in
documents and valuable papers was
inestimable, among them being ledgers
and journals in which were entered
accounts settled by the commissary
with the offices Of the quartermaSter
and commiSsary department; claims
of persons for services during the
War Of the American Revolution; ac-
counts rendered by the Bank of the
United States for the sale of per
cent stock; an account of Hazen Kim
ball for the contingent expenses of
the State Department; an account of
Thomas Claxton, an agent, for fur
nishing the Capitol: the accounts and
vouchers of Tench Francis. purveyor
of public supplies, for purchases from
July, 1897, to September, 1898, and
numerous other records.
In her diary. Mrs. Thornton records
the burning of the War Office as the
third fire in the city up to that time,
but does not say whether it was public
or private property burned. However,
the fire at the Treasury Building,
coming so soon after the War Office
fire. caused the City Council to enact
a law on January 10, 1903, providing
for the prevention and extinguish-
ment of fires, this being approved by
Robert Brent, mayor, and certified
by James Barry. president of the first
chamber, and Daniel Carroll of Dud-
dington, president of the second
chamber.
