FIRE PROTECTION.

IN the early history of the city, fires were fought with whatever means wi suggested at the time of need. Often the flames were stayed by tearing do either the burning building or the houses adjoining it. The male portion of 1 village, and sometimes the female portion, promptly responded to an alarm of fi each person carrying one or more buckets, in which water was passed along a li formed from some convenient water supply, and thrown on the burning buildi There was but little loss by fire in the village previous to the burning of the how and shop of George C. Davis on February 6, 1815, and no arrangements for prot tion from fire, other than those mentioned above, were made until after the burni of the Cooper Mills on the old race, on the north side of Water street, just east Mill street. This fire oceurred on June 20, 1820, and in addition to the grist-m fulling-mill and machinery, consumed 4,000 bushels of wheat and 2,000 pounds wool. It was a large fire, and brought before the people the necessity for u efficient means of protection from the destructive element. Steps were soou tak looking to the organization of a fire company. Ladders were provided by 1 Town Couneil, that were to be kept hanging in the market house on Second stro ready for use at any time ; and, by ordinance of the Council, every housebole was required to procure two " leathern buckets," with his name painted thereon be kept in a convenient place, readily accessible to any one when an alarm of i was given. These fire buekets and the ladders at the market house then constitu the total apparatus of the first fire department of the village. At the time of burning of George Grove's hat store and J. M. Hollis' jewelry store, November 1824, the ladders had been misplaced, and the flames were so fierce that " bucket brigade " could render but little aid. After this, Council determined buy a hand engine, and aceordingly, in the spring following, placed $226 in hands of a Dayton merchant who was going East, with which to buy an engine Philadelphia. The engine was purchased, but did not reach Dayton until a y afterward, when a company to operate it was organized. This company was org ized as the Dayton Fire Engine Company, at the court house, on Saturday, Ma. 10, 1827, at which time the following officers were elected : George C. Davis. C. tain, S. B. Cleveland, First Engineer ; S. Johnson, Second Engineer ; Samuel Bacon, Third Engineer. The engine was fed by a bucket line, while the water s thrown out by turning a erank at the side of the engine.

A hook and ladder company was also organized at the same time, and following officers elected : Joseph Hollingsworth, Captain ; Thomas Morris First Director ; Oliver Van Tuyl, Second Director ; James Irwin, Third Direc: The hooks and ladders were kept in the market house, where, at a time of ala; the members of the company wonld rally, take the hooks and ladders on ti shoulders, and carry them to the fire.

In the winter of 1827-28, Council paid $112.50 for eighty-eight leather bu ets, one-half to be kept on the engine and the rest distributed among the memb of the company, to be kept at their homes, at all times ready for use. Th buckets were kept by the citizens for twenty years, inspected in April of e:

re' by the Fire Wardens, of whom the first were James Steele, Abraham Darst, D.Job Haines, Alexander Grimes and Matthew Patton. They were appointed youneil in Mareh, 1827, as the First Board of Fire Wardens, with John W. Van W're as Chief Engineer of the Fire Department.

The engine house was a small frame, built on the county lot on the west side f Iain street, just south of the first alley north of the court house. It was after- v¿I moved around on Third street, in the rear of the court house, and soon after as taken away to give place to the two-story brick engine house which was t in 1833.

At the burning of an unoceupied frame house at the upper end of Main street, nhe night of September 10, 1833, Charles R. Greene, one of the Fire Wardens, rired Matthew Thompson, a bystander, into the " line " passing water to the n ne, and on his refusal, Greene struck him on the head with a piece of board. ithe Squire's office next day, Thompson struck Greene with a elub, from the fts of which he shortly afterward died.

In 1833, fire eisterns were built at points where they could be filled by wells e. by. In November of the same year, the "Safety," a hand engine with suc- fic hose and gallery brakes, was bought of Chase & Seymour, Cineinnati, for 150 ; five hundred feet of hose were purchased at the same time. Soon after- al the " Safety Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1" was organized, and a wit engine house built for them on the east side of Lndlow street, half way teen Second street and the first alley south. The first officers of the company e James Perrine, Foreman ; Valentine Winters, Assistant Foreman ; J. D. opis, Secretary ; T. R. Clark, Treasurer ; Thomas Brown, Leader of Hose echment ; Henry Diehl, Assistant Leader ; William P. Huffman, Jacob Wilt, er Baer, Henry Buehler and Abraham Overleas, Directors.

These companies were followed by the " Independent Fire Engine and Hose > pany," the " Enterprise Fire Engine and Hose Company," and other volun- ecompanies, in whose hands the safety of the eity reposed until the organ- von of the paid fire department.

In April, 1836, an ordinance was passed giving 50 eents to each chureli -on for ringing an alarm of fire.

The fire at the Journal building, on the west side of Main just south of Third ret, in July, 1863, was the last large fire fought by the volunteer companies hand-engines. Owing to the manifest inefficieney of the department as cbited at that fire, it was decided to establish a paid fire department in the city. wrdingly, in the latter part of 1863, steam fire-engines were purehased, and clayton Fire Department organized, with William Patton, Chief, one Assistant all', and fifteen regular firemen. Sinee then, the following gentlemen have

- I'd as chiefs of the department : William Gill, John Chambers, George Vail, vony Stevens, John H. Winder, James Lewis and D. C. Larkin, the latter being e resent ineumbent. The department now consists of the following companies : Tal Engine Company No. 1, whose house is on East Fifth street, opposite 'on ; it is the office of the Assistant Chief, who is also Superintendent of the "Alarm Telegraph. This company is composed of six men, and is equipped t a chemieal engine, two horses, swinging harness and other necessary appur- : ces.

WATER WORKS.

An ordinance was passed by the City Couneil in Mareh, 1869, to submit to people the question whether or not the city should build water-works and issue bo to the amount of $200,000 for that purpose. This was voted upon at the ant election of municipal offieers held on April 5, of that year, and resulted in a jority of 833 votes in favor of the construction of the works by the city. cordingly, bids were advertised for, estimates made, and on the 29th of Octo the committee entered into a contraet with Anderson & Kemp, of Dayton, for construction of an engine house at a cost of $8,217.

On the 7th of January, 1870, the board of water-works trustees was es lished by ordinance, and the salary of the trustees fixed at $200 per ani This day also marked the arrival of the first machinery for the works. It sisted of two of Holly's Patent Elliptical Rotary Pumps, which had a maxir capacity for pumping 2,000,000 gallons of water in twenty-four hours. The o machinery, consisting of a gang pump with a capacity of 1,000,000 gallon twenty-four hours, condensing engine of 200-horse-power and a rotary engil 100-horse-power, was soon afterward received and the whole set up. Two w each twenty-five feet in diameter, were sunk September 24, on a lot eorne

H'i and Beacon streets, which was bought for the purpose, and on the 16th of M.ch, 1870, the works being completed, the machinery was put in motion and hoipes filled for the first time. Ten days later the official test of the works was 1:e. and resulted most satisfactorily to all coneerned.

The total cost of construction of the works was $230,083.14, ineluding the n'y of engine-house, wells, etc.

The board of water-works organized April 13, 1870, by eleeting Samuel Mar- L .: , President ; A. J. Heller, Secretary ; H. G. Marshall, Assistant Secretary and ector ; George MeCain, Superintendent ; Ezra Thomas, Assistant Superin- - erent ; E. J. Howard, Engineer ; Henry Farnham, Assistant Engineer. Their .r: report for the period ending December 31, 1870, shows the gross receipts to a been $3,168.66, and the running expenses $10,325.85. In the same period, 220,560 gallons of water were delivered into the pipes and 6,948 bushels of coal named in the delivery. From the same report the following account of the var supply is taken : "With great pleasure we have often noticed that Provi- le has been pleased to give the people that inhabit this portion of the Miami aby, pure water in great abundance."

" It was not to be wondered at that the site at the corner of High and Ban streets was first selected for the location of the pumping works. It is re for the city that water was not obtained there in seemingly great abun- iaze to have established the belief of being sufficient for supplying the works. s a experience confirms the belief that the change of location to the south Voi of Mad River was a wise plan. Here it was hoped that an ample supply otl be obtained by filteration. But in the fall of 1871, when the consump- o had increased nearly twofold, the prospects were less promising.

" A long trench was made in the vicinity to serve as a kind of storage reser- oi and connected to the well by an arched conduit. Observations showed Viathe water pumped at the close of 1872 was fully the maximum capacity of tuevell, and no reserve in store for any sudden emergency in the event of fire. Ne gnizing the vital importance of pure water, the City Council was peti- word for an appropriation May 30, 1873, to enable the board to take the future Icional supply of water from Mad River.

"On the 9th of June, 1873, Council authorized the Trustees of the Water (Is, in connection with the Standing Committee of the City Council, to rect the Water Works well with Mad River, so controlling said connection ates and filters as to exclude all impurities.

The general plan adopted by the board embraces an open space dug through Levee bank to the river, of about twenty feet in width, ninety feet in length, non average depth of thirty feet. All the earth had to be removed on carts distanee perhaps of two to three hundred feet, and replaced in like man-

"Three twenty-inch lines of cast iron pipes were laid through to the river. h river end of the pipes are supported by a revetment of masonry fifteen ehigh, and fifty feet in length. Bowlders of various sizes, in great quanti- * are placed against the wall of masonry to within four feet of its height. e the water will be strained before its admission. Inside the levee these ly pipes are also supported by a revetment of masonry, from which they Cct some three feet, with valves for controlling the water attached. The ut, chamber is arranged to command delivery of water from the river into a Dit nine feet in height, and eight feet in width, extending parallel with heyvee 107 feet eight inches, and passing the supply well built in 1871, u8/nt eighteen feet, turning southward on the west side, and parallel with held supply well sixty-one feet and six inches to its terminus. A wing oraphes from the main conduit nine feet three inches east of the well, and

runs parallel with it ninety feet, which completes the surrounding of the w The entire length of the conduit is 259 feet, walled up and arched over stone, the floor in the gate-chamber being laid with stone extending into conduit about ten feet. There are four ventilators to the conduit at suit distances.

" The entire work was completed on the 20th day of September, be eighty-seven days from the commencement to its termination, at a cost of 240.12."

In 1874, a new engine and direct-acting pump, of the improved H patent, with a capacity of $4,000,000 gallons in twenty-four hours was ad at an additional cost of $32,927.19.
