REPORT OF THE FIRE ENGINEERS
Your fire engineers have carried out the same program with the same officers as last year, with the exception of James E. O'Connor, assistant chief engineer, who did not qualify. We have answered five alarms for house fires, three of which caused damage: one on March 17 at the house of Dr. Bayard T. Crane, which burned a few shingles on the roof; one on July 25, when the house and barn of Julia Routes, in North Rutland, were burned to the ground; and on September 24, when the barn of Mr. M. H. Pettigrew was struck by lightning, burned to the ground with nearly all the contents.
We have purchased eighteen additional fire extinguishers, of which sixteen have been distributed in the outlying districts with the same agreement as those distributed last year: one each with Lewis R. Bigelow, Albert F. Wales, William Limiataine, John Limiataine, Nelson Calkins, Nestor Mattson, Emile Taifale, William Morasky, Patrick J. Myers, Carl Adamson, Walter M. Loker, John Punkari, W. G. Seaver, Ervin L. May- nard, Della La Towne, and John C. Fiske. This makes a total of thirty-four which have been distributed.
We would recommend the sale of harnesses which are attached to the large hose reel, as we find they are not practical, as they cause considerable delay in hitching horses to the reel.
