The chief said that up to Wednesday evening there had been a total of 133 alarms for the year and; that- the loss would be something un- der $33,000. He called attention to the fact that the local department covers as much area as the New Haven de- partment and said he feels proud of the record of his department. The total risk involved in Norwich fires during the past vear wag _around $600,000. Quick response by the mo- tor-driven apparatus and efficient work on the part of the firemen has kept the total loss under $33.000. Last vear the chief said there were 198 alarms and the loss was about $50,000. If every city in the United States did as well as Norwich. said the chief. the per capita loss would be $1.25 or less, The chief then called on a number of those present for remarks.
