REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
OFFICE OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF FIRE DEPARTMENT, January 1, 1906.

I present herewith the annual report of the fire department for the year ending December 31, 1905 :-

The department has maintained its reputation for efficiency. While the number of fire alarms was greater by 112 than during the year 1904, yet in only eight cases was a second alarm neces- sary to bring the fire under control.
Manual Force.
The manual force of the department consists of thirty-seven permanent men and eighty callmen, making a total of 117 men, divided as follows :-
Chief engineer
1
Assistant engineer
1
Three engine companies

Two hook and ladder companies

Equipment.
The apparatus of the department consists of three steam fire engines in service, one steam fire engine in reserve, two ladder trucks, one chemical engine, two combination chemical and hose wagons, three hose wagons, and one combination ladder truck, chemical, and hose vehicle.
The apparatus is in good condition except the boiler of en- gine No. 4. This boiler has been in service sixteen years, and by reason of its weakness, only a small amount of steam pressure is permitted. A new boiler should be provided at once, as it costs as much to maintain this engine, of a limited power, as one in first-class condition.
There are forty-one horses belonging to the department, which are apportioned as follows :-
Central station

Engine 2

Recommendations.
I recommend that the hose wagon located in the station at Broadway and Cross street (engine house No. 2) be placed in service.
That a steam fire engine be placed in service in the Union- square fire station.
That a fire station be built on land owned by the city on the corner of Broadway and Cedar street. This new station is made necessary by the construction of inflammable buildings in this vicinity to the value of nearly $2,000,000.
In the absence of any deterrent action by the authorities to prevent fire, or to cause buildings to be constructed so as to be slow to burn, the cost of maintaining the fire-extinguishing de- partment must be annually increased in order to meet the added liability.
It is not the fault of this department that shingles are so commonly used to cover roofs, as it has frequently been stated that this type of roof covering was a menace to the city in time . of fire.
Much could be said of the danger of constructing buildings with hollow floors, walls, and shingle roofs. Every observing citizen must be impressed with the dangerous risk of erecting buildings of this character in close proximity to each other.
395
CHIEF ENGINEER, FIRE DEPARTMENT.
When shingle roofs are dry, sparks from the first fire drop- ping on them are liable to kindle more fires than the fire depart- ment can reach and extinguish before a conflagration is created.
If buildings were constructed in accordance with rules es- tablished by the London Fire Protective Association, it would promote the interests of all the people, give to them better se- curity of life and property, lessen the cost of insurance, and greatly reduce the expense of maintaining the fire department.
A table is here presented giving the cost of fire department maintenance in certain cities of England, Ireland, and Scotland, as compared with certain cities of Massachusetts (the data for cities of Massachusetts being from the United States census of 1900) :-
