Stored at the Central Fire Station ; 2 direct acting tappers, one 15-inch Stevens and one Gamewell 6-inch. One horse, wagon, harness, whip and blankets, one strap and vice, one pair of
197
spurs and plyers. Number of boxes 76. Four tower strikers on churches and two automatic whistles.
HORSES.
The number of horses in the Fire Department are 20 which are all in good condition and in good working order. Their ages run from 8 years to 24 years.
RECOMMENDATION.
I would recommend fitting up Houghs Neck fire station with two permanent men and ten call men. I would also recommend putting in a ladder truck and hose wagon ; also recommend three more permanent men, one to be assistant to Supt. of Fire Alarm and Police Alarm, as one man cannot take care of fire and police alarm properly.
CONCLUSION.
In closing this report, I desire to tender my sincere thanks to his Honor, Mayor Bryant, for his interest in the welfare of the Department, to the Council for all favors rendered during the year, to the City Auditor and Treasurer for all favors rendered, to the Chief of Police and Officers for the manner in which they performed their duties at fires, to my associates of the Board of Engineers, and to the officers and members for the prompt and efficient manner in which they discharged their duties thereby maintaining the reputation of the Department for efficiency. Also I want to thank Supt. of Fire Alarm, William H. Gavin, for his promptness and good service for taking care of fire alarm and police alarm.
