The efficiency of Washington's fire dopartment will be greatly increased 4f Congress allow n the next appro- priation act ghe items recommended by the bureau of the budget. As transmitted to the Capitol, the District estimates call for $1,413.313 for the fire department, an increase of $112,568 over the current :\ppropria-T tion. One of the most important new | jtems in the bill is the $16,000 for ai modern drill tewer and dke-test | Luilding, to be erected on North Caro- | lina aven tween 6th and Tth| streets southeast. | The fire department has been striv- | ing for ten years to ol 1 an appro- | priation for this purpose, but this 1s| the first year the ftem hes been in- cluded in the estimates To Watch Fire Hazards. ‘ h When Commissioner. Oyster and Fire Chief Watson appear before the District subcommittees on appropria- | tions they will urge the retention of | this essential item in ths bill i The Commssioners asked for forty | ndditional men for the fire depart-| mnent, which request was reduced by | the budget bureau to 1% i} the lawmakers allow this in e in | personnel Chief W on will be nhl-~! 10 extend regular fir ection w .,r:\t to stores all over the : Chief Watson is a g believer The adage, “An ounce of previmtion is worth a pound of cure.” And With this policy in mind, he has in- creased the number of men detatled to inspect apartment houses, hotel schools and other institutions to 1 cate fire hazards and have them re- || moved. The chief believes this w should be further extended, auuori’;‘ he gets the additional men he will| use sdima of them for that purpose. The estimates also carry a recom- ! mendation for the purchase of four.|, pumping engines, one combinatio: chemical and hose wagon, one Herial hook and ladder and one city service 1 » to cost mately $85,000, New Engines Needed.

Furthermore. the department is at present without any reserve motor a large number of ill must be maintained for emergency use. I the additional equipment is al- lowed, the chief probably will put some of the older engines on the re- serve list and put the new ones in service. It {s Chief Watson's aim after he gbtains the drill tower to send each company o the tower at regular pe- Tods and put them through a et of a total of approxi- ' drills, including every functlon they would be called fipon to perform in & blazing building.
