From tbe lie- port we find; "Water supply at pres­ ent considered only, fairly rsUabi* snfi adequate; Single lpw duty and, high duty pumping unit*. Elevated storage o f good capacity and well lo­ cated. Distribution system is gener­ ally strong, being mostly o f circulat­ ing pipe. Hydrant and valve spacing* are generally good. Pressure average about 59 pounds.' : Th* fire department consists o f ten members3paid a small amount per csU. Th* principal piece o f apparatus is an old Ford carrying small Rump, a booster tank,, hose, ladders, and minor equipment. In reserve there is a hose ' reel,- an-old steamer,-and—old-hand- - drawn ladder truck. A good quantity o f hose is kept on hand. The'fire a- larm is a hand operated .bell, Protec­ tion as a whole grades as fair only for a community o f this ..size, The principal streets are o f excel­ lent width and are paved or macad­ amized. Tfiere are several grade cross ings near the. southern edge o f the mercantile district. The mercantile district covers part, o f four town blocks, none o f which are solidly built up> ap average o f 47 per cent. Frame construction .covers 44 per cent olf the builtrpn ar*a and ordinary brick. i Buildings are generally o f a gath­ er old type o f construction, there' be­ ing but a few blank walls that would act as effective fire stops, parapets be­ ing deficient or lacking, and there be­ ing but little protection fo r exposed . openings. Shingle roofs are extensive­ ly used in.this .community and half o f the buildings in the congested d istrict' have’same.

These were- to installation o f the new water sys­ tem. The only fire o f eons*qu*tste.' ‘since the installation o f the. water system was a grain elevator with w loss o f $40,090. The number .of. runs within the village average about six a year. . . - ■^ " -After..going into detail with th e ' municipal Water plant, report o f in­ spection o f fire apparatus, hose and fire alarm with possible aid from the adjoining towns the following recom­ mendations are made: All pumping equipment should be in duplicate and there should be two sources o f power supply. . The dead end near the lmber yard should be tied in so as to be made cir­ culating. * - » At least one portable chemical ex­ tinguisher o f a type suitable for elec­ trical fir* should be installed at each pumping station.- Complete details Blowing the exact location o f valves, special connections etc,, should be prepared and always kept up to date. ^ All services should ’ be metered, to prevent excessive' waste. ' A triple combination automobile truck o f a modem type should be pur­ chased. This should carry at least a 500 g. p. m. pump, one or more large chemical or booster tanks, hose, long ladders, salvage covers, several types o f portable chemical extinguishers and a good complement o f minor e- quipment. The alarm should be so arranged * that it can be operated directly from the telephone exchange as well as St the: fire station. It should be tested- daily and should be sounded as to in­ dicate the location o f the fire. There should be a nightwatchman on duty regularly. It is recommended that the National Board Building Code, as suggested for smalt municipalities, or its equivalent be adopted, This provides for the proper installation o f heating and lighting devices; wiring, {Regulation of garages and moving picture equip­ ment, Since the inspection was made the Board o f Public Affairs has drilled a second well which will be Operated in­ dependent o f the first pumping sys­ tem, The Ohio Inspection Bureau is High School, Xenia.
