Excerpt from Mayor's Address, and Twelfth Annual Reports of the Several Departments, as Made to the City Council: With an Account of the Receipts and Expenditures, for the Municipal Year 1867 The Fire Department is in excellent condition, the com panies are well filled and a commendable spirit of rivalry prevails. Fortunately we have had few occasions for its service during the past year. The Chief Engineer will soon lay before you a report, to which I must refer you for all ih formation on matters of pressing importance. The idea of dispensing with the constant services of the Steward in the Steam.
