This result includes the pay and expenses of two new Companies, but does not include any of the permanent property of the City, such as hose carriage, hose, fire-alarm strikers, and reservoirs, as all these are estimated annually in the schedule of public property where they belong. Though paid for out of the appropriation for the Fire Department, they do not properly represent running or current expenses.
