At the regular meeting of the city
council last evening the following an
nual report was received from W. J.
Barry, chiof engineer Astoria Fire
Department:
To -run Mayok anu City CorsciL:
G entlemen : I herewith submit
to you my annual report as chief en
gineer of Astoria Fire Dept. for the
year ending Sept. HO, 1883:
During the year there has been 3-t
fire alarms to which the Dept. re
sponded and numerous brush firc3 on
the hills back of the city. The
total los? by fire has been a3 near as I
can ascertain, including the box !ac-
toryat Upper town, $250,000, on
which there was an insurance of $73,-
000. In combating tires during the
past year, especially those in the resi
dence part of the city, the depart
ment has labored under great disid
vantage on account of the litck of cis
terns on the back streets, of being un
der the necessity ot laying 1,:UU or
2.000 feet of hose up the steep hill
side, making unnecessary work for
the men and straining the apparatus;
this could be obviated by the con
struction of a few large cisterns, cen
trally located in the higher parts of
the city. Another cause of delay in
responding to alarms is the uncer
tainty of the location of the fire, to
remedy which 1 would suggest the
immediate arrangement of an electric
alarm with. at least six lnrm boxes,
and one gong, the gng to be at the
engine house of Rescue Engine Co.,
No. 2, as that is the most central lo
cation. The hose carts at present in use are
not of sufficient carrying capacity and
I would most earnestly recommend
the purchase of a large carriage, as
the necessity of it is apparent at near
ly every fire. The alarm bell has not
given satisfaction in its present loca
tion, as it is not elevated sulficicntly
be heard distinctly.
The cistern covers in this city are
and have been very much neglected,
they arc not located in the center of
o street crossings, and are allowed
become filled with dirt so that it is
almost impossible to raise them, others
are covered over bv the planking of
the street, and there are not enough
them to insure dispatch in getting
ater.
I would also recommend for the
preservation ot the lire engines the
immediate introduction of somo
method of supplying them with fresh
water, as at present they are obliged
stand with salt water in their boil
ers causing them great injury and de
laying them in making steam.
I would call jour attention to the
fact that the ordinance regarding
riving over lines of hose is frequent
ly violated, and recommend that it be
strictly enforced.
The engine houses and fire appa
ratus belonjiiug to the city are in
pod condition, there would be an im
provement made in the house of R. E,
Co. .No. 2., by cutting a door where
the window on the east side of the
main door now is, it would give room
to tike out the hose cart without
moving the engine which at present
has to be done.
The apparatus and membership of
the department are as follows:
ASTORIA ENOIN'E CO. NO. ONE.
One 2d class Amoskcag engine;
hose cart and 1850 ft. carbolized hose
1 tender to engine; one heater, 2 rub
ber play pipes. 1 brass pipe, 10 span
ners, 7 torches no good, one couplin
expander, 5 set new couplings and 5
feet 3 ch hose. Membership 75.
RESCUE ENGINE CO. NO. TWO.
One 3d class Silsby engine, 1 lies
cart, 1.750 ft. White Anchor hoso.g
tender to engine, five duty pipes,
connection, 3 spanners, 1 set taps and
dies, 1 set hanging tubes, 1 set sm ikc
flues, one set grate bars, 1 circulatio
chamber for heater and 50 ft. i inci
rubber hose. Membership 75.
ALERT HOOK it LAD1IER CO.
One truck, four laddors none of
them long enough to reach the roof of
any of the medium high buildings in
the citv. three roof ladders, two
hooks, eight axes, thirty buckets, two
crowbars, two Babcock fire extinguish
ers. and a lot of chemicals for the
Babcocks.
This compmy have proved them
selves to be vmuantand active mem
members of the department and de
serve better treatment than they havo
received at the hands of the city; at
any and every alarm they are anion
the first at the scene of the fire doing
all in their power with tho limited
means at their disposal to assist in the
protection of life and property; their
so called truck is not and never has
been suitablefor the service required
of it. They should at once be pro
vided with a new truck and extension
ladders and more Babcock fire extin
guishers. While awaiting the arrival
of the new truck for this company
your honorablo body should procure
new axles for the present-one, as thoso
now in use are liable to break down at
any time and it is too much to expect
of tho boys that when she does
"bust," they will carry the ladders on
their shoulders.
There is also belonging to the city
ono hand engine in good repair. '
The steam tug Pioneer has been
fitted with reducers and m cate of
need can supply two or more powerful
steamers for firo duty. I am informed
that the spannors, leak stops, taps,
etc., ordered from the Gutta Percha

Oil on the Waters.
The report of B. C. Sparrow, super
intendent of the second life saving
district, under whose directions ex
periments have recently been made
the use of oil for calming rough
seas, has been presented to Superin
tendent Kimball, of the life saving
service. The experiments were maue
with a view to determing to what ex
tent oil could be used as an auxiliary
agent by the life saving servico, and
the conclusion deduced from them ,
the superintendent says, is thai:
Oil exerts no influence 'upon a sea
that breaks on the shore. The result
when in roiling indnlatiou from the
ocean throws thousands of tons of wa
ter upon the shore cannot be pre-
entcd by thin Aim oil. A majority
of printed statements, together with
all verbal statemtnts made by mari
ners who have used it, furnish con
clusive evidence that in deep water,
oil has a calming mlluence upon a
rough sdh; but there is nothing in
either source of information which an
swers tho question whether or not
there is a force exerted by wind a
point beyond which oil cannot coun
teract its influence in causing the sea
to break.
