The department respond ed to 149 alarms, 16 lesg than the pre- ceding year. Of this number ther were thirty bells, eighty telephone, and thirty-nine still alarms. Therd numbering were no second or general ajarms. | Four alarms were received for fires outsid the city limits. The chief account for the very s loss in proportion to the number gf alarms b the automobile combination chemical which enabled the department to make quick response during the | time it has been in sertice. The to- | tal loss for the year was $,819.71, th smallest in 10 years, about $70,000 1¢ tha nthe previous year.
