Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Fire Department, 1910 The Specifications for hay should be revised to accord with that which can actually be bought in the market. While it is undoubtedly true that prairie hay is the best for Fire Depart ment horses, it is recommended that the specifications call for No. 1 prairie, instead of choice prairie, because there is a comparatively small quantity of the latter received in Chicago, and the probability is that No. 1 would be the best actually deliv ered, even though the specifications called for choice, and the department would continue in t he same unfortunate position as heretofore, i. E., paying for a higher grade hay than it receives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...unprotected as to the quantities delivered in relation to the charges therefor, has also left the firemen signing tickets for receipt of coal in the dark as to the accuracy of the amounts given thereon. This fact tends to weaken the natural defenses of the latter against any pressure which might be put upon them to favor a contractor in passing on the quantity or quality of his deliveries. Efforts which might tend toward securing favors for the contractor have appeared. The coal company making most of the deliveries under the Fire Department's contracts for the last two years has distributed among the members of the department printed notices, of which the following is a copy: PLEASE NOTE. We have a separate department for the handling and watching of all orders from members of the Police and Fire Departments. We would like very much to have your order for coal, either anthracite or bituminous. City Fuel Company. Payments for Coal Not Delivered: Examination was made of the records of payment for coal for the Fire Department in comparison with its records of delivery of coal covering the years 1908 and 1909. This examination was quite thorough. It disclosed serious discrepancies between the tons recorded as delivered and the tons recorded as paid for. The detailed invoices attached to the department duplicates of the receipted vouchers were the point of departure in this branch of the inquiry. There were bills rendered at the end of each month by the contractor and used by the Chief Clerk of the Department and his assistant in preparing vouchers for tho approval of the Fire Marshal and the Comptroller. These invoices, except in a comparatively small number of instances, do not designate the stations to which deliveries were made. They give...

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteenth Annual Report of the Fire Department, for the Year Ending December 31, 1890 The present plan of running the wires of various electrical systems through our streets is one of the most formidable of the problems with which the department has to contend, and its complications are constantly increasing. While these sys tems have become institutions that we cannot spare, a further regulation of them is required in order to secure the greatest good of the greatest number. Electric wires are not only active agents in causing fires, but they also frequently em barrass the efforts of the department to extinguish them. Some of these lines are so thickly run in front of buildings as to rende1 it almost impossible to raise ladders for ventila tion, ca1rying up hose, 01 saving life. In a number of cases these lines were established before the buildings were erected, and the resultant relations ale unfo1tunate. It might be a proper question of public policy to inquire whether in many such instances the wires might not be carried over the build ings, instead of alongside, until such time as the city shall get ready to order the wi1es underground. The creation of the new bureau for the inspection of wires and the appoint ment of an efficient head will probably greatly improve the present conditions; but it is doubtful whether the Inspector has yet sufficient authority to make as thorough a regulation as the Situation demands.

Download or read book The Big Burn written by Timothy Egan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2009-10-19 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time. On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest rangers had assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fires, but no living person had seen anything like those flames, and neither the rangers nor anyone else knew how to subdue them. Egan recreates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, and the larger story of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, that follows is equally resonant. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. Even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by his rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of the forest service in ways we can still witness today. This e-book includes a sample chapter of SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER.
