Gov. LINCOLN STEAM FIRE ENGINE NO. 1.
Located at Bigelow Court. This engine was built by the Amos- keag Manufacturing Co., Manchester, N. H., and delivered to this Department in February, 1873.

With this machine there is a four-wheeled hose carriage, carrying 700 feet of hose, and all the necessary equipments. This carriage was built by Albert Tolman & Co., of this city, and is in good con- dition. Three horses are in the house, owned by the City, with permanent driver. Four hosemen occupy beds in the house, also the driver. Company, when full, is eleven men, including driver.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
S. E. COMBS STEAM FIRE ENGINE NO. 2.
Situated on Beacon street. This engine was built by H. C. Silsby & Co., Seneca Falls, N. Y. This machine was delivered to this department in August last, in exchange for the steamer Col. Davis, which was found to be in an unsafe condition and very much worn, upon the recommendation of the Board of En- gineers and the Committee on Fire Department.
This engine has given perfect satisfaction ; in fact, her working powers excel her beauty and symmetry, which are declared by good judges to be almost faultless. It is one of the finest pieces of mechanism in a steam fire engine that we have in this City, if not in the State. It will throw about 550 gallons of water per minute, at a fair working pressure, and weighs, when going to a fire, about 8,400 pounds.
With this engine there is a four-wheeled hose carriage, built by Corbett & Willard, of this city, in September last, which we consider the best carriage in the Department; it will carry 800 feet of hose. Permanent horses are kept for the steamer and hose carriage, with permanent driver. The engineer, fireman, and two hosemen occupy beds in the engine house. The Com- pany, when full, has eleven men, including driver.
The inventory of property in charge of this company, includ- ing engine house, lot, horses and equipments, is $19,511.05.
