The losses are less than the year 1877 by over ten thousand dollars, with an increase of fires, which can but be attributed to the efficiency of the depart- ment. The above inclues all fires in the city limits, many of which were beyond the water supply, therefore out of the reach of the department.
The apparatus have traveled on duty during the past year 7084 miles.

The fire department is very efficient, and owing to the rapid growth of the city, the force and apparatus require frequent augmentation and the utmost vigilance on the part of the members. A fire warden is one of the impor- tant adjuncts of the department, and to his watchful care the city is largely indebted for her security from conflagrations.
WATER SUPPLY.
The numerous lakes about St. Paul, connected with each other, furnish an abundant supply of water for the city. The number, with their surface acres, are as follows : Phalen, 237; Gervais, 210; Vadnais, 560; Lambert, 750; Pleasant, 730; White Bear, 3,600; Bald Eagle, 1,280; Lake Elmo, 400; Otter Lake, 400; other lakes, 560. Total number of acres of water, 8,727, -add other lakes available, and there are. 10,000 acres of water with which to supply St Paul. A single superficial foot of this immense area, would furnish 4,000,000,000 gallons of water, or a barrel per day, for three years, to each of 100,000 people. These lakes are the center of a water shed of 160,000 acres.
The city is now supplied by two mains, one 16-inch main and one 24-inch main. The company have twenty miles of pipe laid-6 miles of 4 inch pipe, 8 miles of 6-inch pipe, and balance in 12, 16 and 24-Inch pipes. There are 155 hydrants; 135 water valves. About three miles of water mains are laid in tunnel, excavated in the sand rock, and used exclusively by the water company. 115 meters are used to measure water for large consumers. Have 1,400 consumers. Number of men employed, on an average, 80. Cost of the works, $500,000.
Two more lakes have been added to the supply source this season, mak- ing ten in all now available.
EDUCATIONAL.
For the following valuable statistical information of the public schools of Saint Paul we are indebted to Prof. B. F. Wright, Superintendent, for the year ending June 30, 1879. In educational advantages it will be seen Saint Paul compares favorably with many cities of more advanced years and of greater population :

NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS.
Eighteen newspapers and periodicals represent the political, religious, commercial, scientific, agricultural, temperance, social and other interests of St. Paul. Daily Journalism is represented by the Pioneer Press (Inde- pendent,) the Globe (Democratic,) the Dispatch (Republican,) the News (Inde- pendent,) and the Hotel Reporter, printed in the English language, and by the Die Volkszeitung in German.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
The city enjoys the advantages of three public libraries, aggregating 28,000 volumes. First on the list is the State Law library, a choice collec-

tion of law book publications, of not only America but of Europe also. It numbers 12,000 volumes.
The library of the State Historical Society numbers 8,000 volumes, many of them of a quaint and curious literary nature.
The City Library is conducted upon the subscription principle, or in other words it is styled a subscription library. It numbers about 8,000 volumes.
MARRIAGES.
The number of marriage licenses issued since the 8d day of January, 1879, is 246.
BIRTHS.
The total number of births, as obtained from the health inspector for the year ending June 80, 1879, is 887.
The above statement is believed to be under the facts more than 10 per cent. The inspectors find it a very difficult task to keep track of these del- icate subjects. They freely admit that no inconsiderable number must have escaped their observation.
DEATH8.
The total number of deaths for the year 1878, from the various canses, was 462; of this number 218 were over the age of 20.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
From the most reliable information obtainable, there being no means of ascertaining the exact number, it is estimated that more than 1,000 houses and blocks have been built, and are in course of construction within the city limits the present season, aggregating a cost of over $1,000,000. This interest has greatly increased the present year, and before January, 1880, other important public and private building enterprises will have assumed form.
The new market house, now being built, when completed and furnished, will have cost $70,000. The various railway companies are making exten- sive improvements within the city limits that will amount in the aggregate when completed to more than a $1,000,000.
RAILWAY SYSTEM.
Saint Paul has reason to be proud of her magnificent railway system. Fourteen roads virtually converge in the city, and more than one hundred trains arrive and depart daily.
The St. Paul & Sioux City Company is extending its lines one hundred and ten miles this season. The Fort Dodge Branch, from Lake Crystal, Blue Earth county, to Blue Earth City, Faribault county, a distance of thirty-four miles, will be completed before 1880. The Black Hills branch is being pushed ahead from Heron Lake, forty-six miles, in the direction of its destination. From Lu Verne, Rock county, they are building the Rock River branch southward, and before the coming January they expect to have thirty miles completed through that fertile valley. In addition they will make $100,000 worth of improvements in the city of St. Paul, building depots, machine shops, grading and other work.
The St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road is being extended via Fergus Falls to Barnesville, a distance of eighty-five miles. Another branch is being built from Fisher's Landing to Grand Forks, Dakota, fifteen miles. This company is building besides three and a quarter miles of double track from the city up to the Lake Como crossing, and putting down rails to the fair grounds. Steel rails are being laid on this road all the way from St. Paul to St. Cloud. The company is also spending large sums in grading their St. Paul yards, building extensive depots, rebuilding the old depots along the line, forty or fifty bridges, and a vast amount of other work requiring an outlay that overtops a million dollars.
The Northern Pacific will span a hundred miles of country beyond the Missouri, and prepare for another season's campaign, still on up the eastern slope.

ST. PAUL CITY DIRECTORY ..
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will complete their air line between the two cities, at a cost of 8500,000; and they are pushing on out across Dakota with two other lines. This company will soon begin the erection of extensive depots and other improvements in the city, requiring an expen- diture of large sums of money.
In addition to these enterprises by each of the various roads, they have all combined to build here a Great Union Depot, the plans for which are about perfected, and upon which work will soon begin. It will be one of the largest and most costly structures of the city, and upon a scale com- mensurate with the increasing traffic of the Commercial Metropolis of the New Northwest.
