The reports of the Chief Engineer and

report, which was forwarded to the Coun

a.?* follow*?:
REPORT OF TUB BOARD.
City Hall.
Richmond. Va., Jan. 1. VMtO.
To th??? Honorable, the Mayor and City
?Council of Richmond. Va.
Gentlemen?In obedience "to the law the
Board <-'f Fire Commissioners submit
th? ?r twelfth annual report tor the. Fire
and Fire Alarm Departments for the
vear ending December :U. 1S99.
' The year ending has been highly sne
cessful from a tire point of view, and
while the losses throughout the State have
been phenomenal; our city has been spared
and there has been neither loss of life or
property to any extent. There, were IST
alarms of fire receive and transmitted
to the Fire Department with a total loss
approximating W&OOO. which is inconslder
?ble '?t our city and is an additional re
?commendation to Chief W. G. Puller and
hie command. Their continued alertness.
capacity and interest in their duties have
made the duties r.f t'.ie ? ard of Fire
Commissioners comparatively easy.
The vear just nasi was a bugbear, how.
ever,.in point of detail, as certain im
prbv? metits were necessary, without spec?
ial appropriation; and in order to compiere
??: plans within the amount set apart, j
rigid economy had to l>e ex<-rrised and j
the small demand for th? service enabled ?
th'? department to successfully finish up j
without embarrassment.
The splendid quarters of No. 11 Engine j
Company ware finished at a cost of ??.G?'? ]
and that model of perfection in the way ?
of lire quarters not only adds t<> the
beauty of the city, but lilis ? necessity j
that was lour, recognized. That particu- ?
It district is rapidly becoming the .enter
of large factor'.?? and commercial plants
aha requires the very host lire protection; .
The building, vaca'ted will be utilized for j
general purposes, such ns veterinary Ros?
vita!, re-ai- -hop and storehouse, a long
needed building.
In view of the rapidly increasing work
and the erection of large establishments
of all hinds, it is important that the en
rire department should be placed on a
iull-paii basis, so when the ?<jr?ar_iiellt
reaches a fir?e it should be fully equi] ? d
with men to bandi?! the .apparatus, and
i:i cases to ?.Tiisli out the lire in its in
clple*cy* with ibis object in view, your
honorable body arra again urged to malo? a
sufficient appropriation to make this im?
portant department full paid.
We most urgently request that our pay?
roll accounts be increased for rbasons
stated above, also as we think that the
Chief Engineer. Assistant Engineer and
Superintendent o? Fi'.v-A'nrm. as head*
<.f their departments and capable officers,
are inadequately paid and should be more
_<morously recoghiziid.
The most notable fires were the Hawes
lim?; warehouse. Angle cheroot factory
and the Watt Plow Company! all of
which were restricted to the premises, still
the loss was considerable.
Our board desina to extend to your hon?
orai.le body their srneere thanks for the
ordinances ?concerning shingle ropfs and
fire-escapes, which were amended at their
suggestion and approval, and while these
laws will work no hardships, they will les?
sen the danger U? life and property, from
lire.
There has been no serious infractions of
our laws, and, with some few exceptions,
the disciplino has been well-nigh perfect,
Yitu are referred to the Chief Engineer's
?report for detailed statements.
The physician's report will give you in?
teresting details concerning his ?luties,,
and is writ worthv of perusal.
FIRE-ALARM DEPARTMENT.
Tho Fire-Alarm Department, under the
??are of our efficient superintendent, "\V.
H. Thompson, and his corps of capable
assistants. 1? kept up to a high standard,
.-nid It Is a very rare t'r.|ng that an alarm
goes wrong.
Our city is fast outgrowing the liistrtt
tmonts now used in this department.
In addition to the regular work of this
departimrnt, it is made the duty of our
superintendent, by ordinances adopted by
your honorable body, to supervise ai'
overhead and underground electric con?
struction and care for all electrical appa?
ratus owned and operated by the city,
we briefly mention the- fo'U.wing: Annun?
ciators, call bells an3 clocks of the Cltv
Ha'.l, signalling apparatus at the Ci*v
Hrsp'tal. the police patrol signal service,
local electric light plum at the new _um;;
?works o? the City Water Works: in'fact.
this department has become the electri?
cal branch of the city government.
Tli?? thanks of the. board are due to His
Honor, the Mayor, and to your honorable
bodies for the -patient and generous con?
sideration always granted to the depart?
ment, and our thanks are especially due
to the honorable Committee ??i Water
?Tcrnmittee on Light an.l' the Board of
Police Commissioners, whoso kindly eo
o) ?pration has be -en of such groat .assist?

Hy a Farmer's Wife.
(Written for The Times).
'Oh give me the life cf a farmer's wife"
In the summer hot and bright.
'Mid Croat-king lrogs anrl barking dogs,
Ar.d dreadful Meas ti:at bite.
To rise in the morning half asleep.
When the farmer blows his horn
And watch the weeds, as. they go to seed,
AH over the yard and lawn.
"Oh give me the life of a farmer's wife"
When the rain begins to pour.
When the driving breeze shr.kes leaves
from the trees.
And whirls them In at your door.
The rats go scampering through the wails,
The ants in the closet roam;
Your friends drop in when the larder Is
thin
And the servants are gone from home
"Oh give me the life of a farmer's wife"
When he's mad as an c!d March hare.
. And rips and tears, and rants and swears
And acts like a two-legged bear.
. Whsn he bangs the door and kicks the
dog.
And treads on the tail of the cat,
And you feal like the comet had struok
the earth ? !
Ar.d knocked it perfectly Hat. V
When cold it grows, and winter snows ' I
Ar e pouring thick and white, j
When the bread won't rise and the baby ,
cries I
And the fire goes out at night; j
And wootl is scarce and kindlings wet I
And water turns to ice, J
Just try the life of a "farmer's wife" j
And see if it isn't nice! |
