False Alarms lead the list of all causes for calling out the apparatus, each year this class of alarms increases in number, some immediate steps should be taken to apprehend and prose- cute this class of criminal offenders ; the detailing of a man to follow up each case, as it occurs, would be profitable inasmuch as more than 75% of the damage to apparatus occurs when an- swering false alarms and this is not inconsiderable. Every self respecting citizen, having his community's interest at heart, should lend assistance in every possible way to gain and give information leading to the capture of the false alarm ringers, one never knows, when the department is responding to a useless alarm, how soon his own home and property needs that very apparatus to save his possessions from destruction.
Defective Chimneys and Connections, This class of fires can be eliminated entirely by the employment of a little time or money in having the chimneys cleaned each year. This char- acter of fire is one of the hardest that the department has to cope with inasmuch as chimneys are invariably constructed

. in or near the center of the building, inclosed in lath and plas- ter and timbers, thereby causing considerable damage to the in- terior walls and ceilings in their extinguishment.
Hot Ashes In Wooden Receptacles, Again hot ashes, in improper receptacles, come to the forefront as one of the use- less causes of fire alarms, the small expense needed to procure proper metal barrels is insignificant when compared with the usual loss incident to fires caused by the use of wooden boxes or barrels ; as I have urged in many previous reports, I again ask that an ordinance be passed prohibiting the use of anything other than metal receptacles.
Children Playing With Matches, Again fatalities have attended this class of fires; on March 20th. three small chil- dren, left alone in their home, got possession of matches left in a most favorable place for such purposes and set fire to their bedding and clothing resulting in most painful burns from which two of them died and the third maimed for life. Every- thing possible has been said by department chiefs, newspaper articles and fire prevention papers and notices to warn care- less and negligent parents of this ever present danger, yet in our commadity alone we have been called, not counting the many times it has occurred without our knowledge or notice be- ing given, twenty-eight times this past year. Daily we are be- ing solicited to save the lives of innocent children the world over, here is the opportunity to also do some home missionary work.
Recommendations.
During the year contract have been made to purchase motor apparatus to complete the motorization of six of the eight stations ; on December 13th. an Auburn Roadster was put into service for the use of the district chief and on Decem- ber 31st. a triple combination Seagraves pumper was assigned to Engine No. 6 Station ; on or about February 1, 1921, a Sea- graves city service truck will replace Ladder No. 3 at Engine 2 Station. There are but two stations wherein the equipment is not motorized and it is my recommendation that these two stations be given consideration the coming year; four more pieces will fully equip the department with motor apparatus.
Engine No. 4 Station, located at the corner of Highland Avenue and Grove Street, has been built forty-eight years, and is in such a condition and of such a type as to be totally unsuit ed for continued use as a fire station, more especially when

motor apparatus is installed. This is a most ideal location and the lot most suitable for the erection of an up-to-date sta- tion, I urge this matter be given serious consideration at the very earlest favorable moment.
In Conclusion.
I wish to express my thanks to His Honor the Mayor and to the Board of Aldermen for their confidence and attitude i matters pertaining to the discipline and efficiency of the de- partment.
I commend those officers and members whose loyalty and interest has made it possible for the department to maintain its usual standing and efficiency.
Respectfully submitted,
SEWALL M. RICH, Chief Engineer.
