CHIEF ENGINEER, FIRE DEPARTMENT. -
Less Noise in Giving an Alarm.
I have requested the commissioner of wires to reduce one- half the number of blows struck on fire alarm bells and whistles of the fire alarm system. Twenty-one signal boxes have already been changed so as to strike two rounds, instead of four, as for- merly. It is desirable that all the signal boxes be so changed as soon as possible, that unnecessary noise may be avoided.
Underground Wires.
His honor, the mayor, has applied to the state legislature for the passage of an act requiring all wires except those of the street railway and long-distance telephone systems to be placed under ground. Such an act is now pending in the legislature, and favorable action is expected, so that the work of placing wires under ground may commence early in the spring. When accomplished, the streets will be much safer and more beautiful.
Pensions.
Few cities permit men to enter the service over a certain age, as it would be unjust to tax-payers to allow those past middle age to serve a few years and then be retired on a pension to which the short service they rendered would not entitle them. The purpose of the pension act is to provide for those of old age. who have rendered many years of service in the department, with all its risks and responsibilities, and those who may have become incapacitated from earning a living by accident while in the per- formance of their duties as firemen.
