ST3649 FOR FIRE APPARATUSIS0K.D Order for Purchase of Seven Pieces Approved by D. C. Commissioners. An order for the purchase of seven Dleces of new fire apparatus, at a to- tal cost of 373,649, was approved by the Commissioners today upon rec- ommendation of Fire Chief George S. ‘Watson. The purchase will be made from the Seagrave Company of Columbus, ©Ohlo, and will include four triple- comblnation pumplng engines, one chemical wagon, one city service truck and one aerial hook and lad- der, Promixes Rellef. This apparatus, when delivered, will help greatly to relleve the strain under which the department is now operating. Frequently within the past year it has been necessary for Chiet Watson to order aged and in- ®ctive fire horses back into service Census of Radio Receiving Sets A census of the radio receiving sets in Washington and the num- ber of listeners-in is being under- | taken by the Department of Com- | merce at the request of Commis- sioner of Navigation Carson. Through Washington's two high- powered broadcasting stations WCAP and WRC, the listeners-in bave been asked to send a_postal card to the commissioner of navi- gation, glving a brief description of the types of receiving sets they own and an average of the num- ber of persons who listen-in on the apparatus. These reports should be made to the Department of Commerce before November 1. If the results of this census, the first of its kind ever undertaken, are satisfactory, it probably will be extended to other sections of the count while motor engines were being re- paired. Although the department is prac- tically 100 per cent motorized, many of the gasoline engines have been in service for ten or twelve years and are beginning to reach the point of un- reliability. These engines were of the tractor type. For this reason Chief Watson and Commissioner Oyster are making every effort to obtaln another appro- priation in the next District bill for the purchase of more motor ap- paratus.
