. CONSIDERED RECOMMENDA- ° TIONS OF THE CHIEF Tin With Regard to New Plant--The Chief Wants 1,000 Feet of New Hose, a Ladder Truck Sleigh, Alarm Boxes, Etc. At the meeting of the Fire and Light committee in the city buildings on Thursday afternoon, Chief James Armstrong submitted an estimate of expenditure for the fire department for the year 1914, as well as a state- ment showing amounts expended for similar items last year. In the items of new plant required and recommended by the chief were: 500 feet of hose ($1.10° per foot), | ,$560; four alarm boxes (three of | which are already ordered), $300; | one ladder truck sleigh (to replace the present antiquated one), $350; one Eastman Deluge Sett, $225; twelve tarpaulins (to protect house- hold effects in smaller fires) $198; | search light .for night work at fires | and wire trouble, $65; one pair of | poles for 51-foot ladder (ordered), | $20; one new fly section for 40-foot ladder, $60; closet at Ontario street station, $60; 14 pairs of double win- | dows and one pair of large doors on the north hall of the Ontario street | station, $100. 1 The estimate for the keep horses, $1,337.40, was passed by conmtitthe: "It: provided "rd an' crease of $21.28 over 1913. For uniform clothing the figure, $449.40, was a reduction from last year, not | including the clothing for the addi- tional four men recently added to | the brigade, $217.90. Other esti- mates passed on by the committee | were: Bed room and toilet supplies, ! $113.85; rubber goods, $125.90; 38 | tons of coal, telephone service, gas and electric light, coal oil, $484.70; | printing, stationery, books, $59; fire alarm telegraph (including a manual transmitter, $282.60), $826.76; sup- plies and sundries, $570.25. i The valuation of the fire depart- | ment property up to date is figured | at $34,755. "The supplies for the | four additional men the chief esti- mated at $381.85, with salaries | _ standing at $2,220.80. : ! It was last year that the men re- ceived an increase in salaries. The total salaries for the department for 1914 were set forth at $13,249.20. | The total increase for salaries, in- | cluding the increase according to | schedule salaries of the new men, is 2,387.04. | The report contained the follow- | ing . explanatory remarks by the chief: -- .

When a call is received at the present tinie over the telephone or by word of mouth, two blows are struck on all the gongs attached to the system and members at home for meals or leave of absence have no means of know- ing in what direction the fire may rn. On several occasions I have gone to the station only to find that the fire was to the north or east of my home and this has entailed a de- lay in my arrival at the fire, and the same thing applies to every member of the dopartin With the man- nal transmitter the number of the alarm box nearest io the fire is struck on all the gongs and there is no delay in responding. Wheels.~--A new set of wheels for exercise wagon No. 2 will have to be supplied this year. the present ones being too light and badly shaken up. This is the most used waggon in the department, three teams being exer- cised each day in it, and the waggon has been entirely rebuilt during the past few years wilh the exception ol the wheals. : Convention. ~The convention of the International Association of Fire Engineers will this year be held m the city of New Orleans, La., U.S.A, and I would respectfully request that provision be made for the chief of the fire depagtment attending the same New Plant Hose. We. have atthe present fie "HY fev of hone, 100 feet of whiclt i8 unfit for fire service and only used for flushing work. We re- quire at least 5,000 feet of hose in department, and I would ask that as far as possible the shortage should be made up this year.

Search Light.--This article is urg- | ently needed in the department so as to locate breaks occurring in the alarm service after sundown. A case in point occurred on January ! 23rd, when a break occurred in the lines at §.25 pan, and was not re paired uftil 8.30 the following morn- ing, the break being found less than 1600 feet from the fire station after daylight.

Storage Battery. -- The present ystem of battery cells for fire alarm telegraph requires an expenditure this year of $212.76, while a storage system would cost fer maintenance about and for remewals on a six-year basis, about $30, as well as giving a more satisfactory service in ac 39, every respect. It is likely that the committee will have to ask for a special appro- priation for the procuring of a new boiler, new wheels pairs to the "Chatham" steamer. A. It. Milne has submitted his report on and the chief has re- commended the work. The cost is estimated at $1,250, and another special item is the storage batlery for the fire alarm telegraph system, at $1,500 Some of the committee feel that this. matter of the boiler, ete., for [chase a machine has failed of accom- the "Gbatham' must be attended to Mr. Milne has reported. Heo says in part:- engine. The boiler fitstly steamed, | then by cold water test, then by per- sonal examination in every part pos- sible. I find the engine in some parts in good condition and with some slight repairs will practically be as good as new. I find the boiler in several places leaking badly, oth- er places so badly eaten away by rust and leakages that I consider the boil- er unfit for heavy fire duty, and would recommend that a new boiler be secured at an early date to re- place the present one, but in no case with less heating surface than the present one, rather more if possible, should you desire to do these Tre pairs as recommended, 'the engine would be good for fifteen or twenty years, with reasonable care." The chief says: "The condition of this steamer is well known to the members of the City Council, and is liable to cause trouble should it be required to do heavy fire duty, as should more than ordinary work be required of it, it will probably (in its present condition) fail to 're- spond."

"Another item that should be pro- | vided for this year (but not out of fire and light committee appropria- tion) is the purchase of a pulmotor. The saving of one life would more than repay any amount the city may pay for such a machine.
