When will the new hose arrive?
Has anyone seen McKenna of Engine 1?
Four horses in the department hospital.
Six alarms of fire during the past two weeks.
Costigan, of Truck 3, is to get a gold chain from his many friends.
Engine 10 got stuck in the mud, but we got her out all the same, says "Jopes."
"Oh, no," says Dawson of Truck "Ryno," "I won't have charge of the ball ground."
The total loss by fire during the month of February was $1,235; insurance, $19,000. There were 23 alarms and 13 bell alarms.
It is too bad that Talbert, of Engine 1, ain't a lawyer. Wonder how many points he gave to the Assemblymen in Trenton the other day?
Jopes, of Engine 10, is doing great scout duty in the lower part of the city. He is quite an orator on the increase of pay for the firemen. Hope he will be successful.
Michaels, of Engine 3, uses one bed and three chairs to sleep on in the afternoon. Then he is not satisfied, but has to use a newspaper to keep the flies off his face.
