Excerpt from Address of Hon. Chas. B. Pratt, Mayor of the City of Worcester, Jan. 7, 1878: With the Annual Reports of the Several Departments, for the Financial Year Ending November 30, 1877The Fire Department continues to maintain its efficiency and promptness in all parts of its organization. We have fortunately been spared any great losses by fire during the year, and it is to be hoped that in the future, we may escape the calamities which-have befallen some of our Sister cities. It is certainly our duty to maintain an efficient force and to provide all proper means to meet, such an emergency, and to give constant and substantial aid to the Department.For some time the Department has received valuable aid and prompt assistance, at fires, by an organization known as the Fire Patrol. It was originated by the different Fire Insurance Com panics, for the express purpose of saving personal property, on the occasion Of fires, which would otherwise be liable to almost certain destruction. The organization has thus far proved so prompt and efficient in the work undertaken by it, and the service it has rendered has been so timely, that heretofore some small appropriations have been made by the City towards maintaining it. I would submit to your consideration the expediency of assuming the entire support of it hereafter, and incorporating it with, and making it a part of, the Fire Department.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
