It is evident that n reception room for sick patientB and a mprgue are something that must (be had nnd when this is realizod the people wiL respond to the call, for it is the people’s institution. No more fitting Christmas offering conld be niadn. Action on the part of the Board of Aldermen, authorizing the issuing of bonds for the improvement of the fire department for wliicli the city lias been waiting so long, was taken last night. It is almost a year now Binee the first steps were taken to have the legislature pass n bill which would meet the demands of the oity. In the meantime the matter has advanced slowly, step by step, some notion be ing taken, enough to Keep up hopes just when it was thought the matter was dead. As has already been stated the im provement consists of two new fire houses, one new company, two new combination wagons and one now hook and ladder truck. While the program does not include a steam fire engine, such an apparatus is bound to come in the near future. The people realize its necessity and will have it. A good start has been made. The good worn is bound to go on. The Staten Island Rapid Transit will get a new lease for twenty-five yenrs on the property at the foot of Smith street. This is good as it assures the people who travel between this city and Tottenville that before this time next year they will have ample accommodation and the best of servioe. Let the good work go on.
