Report of Marshal Wimams‘ for the Year Ending March 31, 1873. The Department in Excellent Condition, and Everything Working Satisfactorily, Our Fire-Alarm System the Most Complete in the Country. ‘The Fire Marahal's report for the sear ending Ms=ch 1873, was submitted to the Board of Police, yester, das. Hosassthe elfectiva force of tha Departmant consists of 257 men, including the officers, Fire Tar- dens, and membera of the Fire Alarm Telegraph corps. The apparatus Is divided as follows: Twenty steam fire engines, with hoso-carts ; threa Babeock-telf-act< ing firo engines; four hook and Iadder trueks; two hose elevators ; three supply hose-carts ; four fuel wagons; one supply truck; firc-alam mmachivery complete, and two repalr wagons. The vako of the proporty In use, including real estate, buildings, etce, 15 estimated at §601,316.35, The total number of fircd during the yoar was 414 ; & decrease of 81 from Lol sear ; loas, $680,090. ‘machinery had been drawn aud worked 1,4563560 hours, All tha SDp e 8 I good order.

Three now firo engines, three Dale Cock engines, and ono host-cart, with appenidages, ad beenadded fo th gepartment during tho sear, ot e cost of $53,728.1, They were locatod at deairable polnts, but, with one_exception, had mot. been called to sarvics often enough to toat thulr effcotivences. Babeock No, 1 had done good service. The two bose slevators had not been used, but proparations are make ing to havo them in operation in n short time, After alluding to the inspection of the dopariment by the Mayor, Board of Police, and Doard of Underwriters, in September last, Lo suggeats that & similar inspection bo made cvery year, betloving thay £a force will bo benefited by it. Ous hundred and two Rorzes are in use at the present time; five dled durin the year, and elght had been sold or exchangod fo better stock. Al the animals were. affectsd by the epizootic; only four diod from its effocts, yor tha malady ncoms to have disabled others, and (he Mats ahal thinks they will not recover. Only tha best Borses should be purchased for the Dopartment. There had been bought during the year 14,000 feet of rubber bose, and 16,000 foct more wia necdod for the coming ear. Althongh the Fire Inanrance Patrol 4id nop ong to the force, ho felt it bis duty to call tho attention of tho Board to the groat nssicis anca they bad rendered, having by energy. and promptness saved a large ‘amount of propersy from damage, and uinisted masorially i the extinguishimeny gf fres. T suppiy of water had been mich batier than heretofore, and there was Littlo causo for com: Blaint einco tfe new pumplng works commenced operations. The supply would be incressed when the 16-inch main o Adams streot s conaected with thy 88-ineh main on LaSalle stroet. This, ho was informedy would be done soan, and when it wa’ done, the supsly of watcr wonld be equal to all demands, Hs urged that a temporary tower ba erected 1o tho business pore tion of thecity, and that 3 large bell be placed therein 10 strike alarms of firo and the houra of the day and night, (b bulldings erected during tho year for en- gines No.1, 4, 10, and 11 wore substantial, and pre- sented a credifable sppearance, Tho amount required. for repalring the buldings In use la neceasarily e creased on account of the limited appropriations made year. No accidents of a serious matura bad occarred o the members of the department, although they had performed thelr duty well and taken roany risks ot fires. The uniform adopted last sume mor and now in usaliad_greatly improved the morale nd " discipline of tho men. With a few excoptiona their conduct had been becoming and orderly, and {he Marshal balieves that tha citizeus Lava reaagn fo feel proud of the organization, aud confident of its e~ clency, After Tecommending the appolutment of o theoreiical and practleal builder to decide doubtfal polnts in relation {o the fire ordinance, the Marshal Sl Berts Sottos el b ia a0 large that violations of the fire ordinance have been frequent. To enforco the law thoroughly, ho nska for additional Wardens, —and that all be instructed to roport dangerous walls and bulldings claimed to be unsafe to the office befors mentioned, who shall pass jndgmert upon them after personal inspection, Hle ulso’ recommends that an ordinance be passed compelling the cleaning of chim- noys at least once o year, and as often 08 it may ba necessary to prevent the ignition of the soot. No lees than 8fty-one alarms had been given during the year for tho burning out of chimneys, resulting In great Toss to the buildings and to the machinery of the Do- partment, by being untecessarily called out, Sparks from locomiotives had caused fires which destroyed $100,000 worth of property, and ho Lioped rallroad Cor~ porations would “devire some means. to confine the sparks in tho emokestacks, or render them barmless, Tho Marshal suggests that an or- dindnce — be ed requiring owners or oc cupants of " buildings with shingle‘ roofa toXeap on thelr premives & ladder long and sirong enougls to resch tho roofs. By having i, citizens will be enablod to protect their property from flying sparks and cinders. “After recommending the purchzsa of lots, tug-boats, and steamers, and the orection of the buifdings given in the estimates, which have alresdy been published in Tie TaIboNy, the Marshal shows that Chicogo is deficient in the humber of appliances for protecting property.
