REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I herewith submit my report for the fire department. .
We have answered seventeen calls for chimney and small fires outside of brush fires; with very small damages, except in one house fire.
The department is in good condition, with full membership of good men always ready to answer calls.
Would recommend an appropriation of $1,550.00 for depart- ment and new hose.
Respectfully,
FRANK W. HOIT, Chief Engineer.
