Fire Protection and Policing. Fire Marshal D. ]. Swenie, of 

 the City Fire Department, made a personal inspection of the Build- 

 ing with reference to fire protection in September. His report in 

 writing, dated September 28th may be summarized to sav : "1 found 

 everything in first-class shape as regards cleanliness and freedom 

 from rubbish, or anything that would invite a fire. Your future 

 safety depends on the continuance of your present policy, viz.. doing 

 rything possible in the way of prevention." It being deemed 

 advisable to add further means of prot< ction to the equipment already 

 in operation, the Museum has pun 1 hose, couplings and pipes 



for ten new stations, a number of ladders, fire axes and pike poles, 

 and has constructed additional trap doors for admission to the base-

 Museum Fire Department, its rules, methods, etc., from which it is 

 inferred that these were satisfactory. The regular semi-monthly fire 

 drill of the guards is maintained, and the hourly inspection of the
