NEW YORK Jan. aft-MP)- ‘r11; decline broadened in the stock market today after a feeble attempt at a rally failed of support.

ls. rails, motors“ and a wide assortrn-mt o: specialties, up frac- t! nally for a brief interval, start- ed to slide around mid-day and. at the close, losses ran to well over a point for leading industriols.

Whether the principal blame for tho further relapse in prices could be laid on the Hitler ;speech or on appreiasnsizn over mounting taxes and fears the United States was approaching active participation in the European war was a matter of argument in boardroom.

The Ascent-d Press average of 60 sticks was off .8 of a pzint at 42 a new 1w market since Aug. 20, las

Transfers of 775,700 shares were the largest since Jan. 9. Yesterday's volume was 519,690.

Steels weakened although Beth- lehem, after the close. announced 1940 earnings cf $14.04 a common share. The std-k finished off 1 poént and US. Steel was down 1

Other losers included C sler, General Motors, Sears Rzebuc . U. S. Rubber, United Aircraft. Amer- ican Can, Du Pont, Unitn Carbde. Johns-Manvllle. Ezstn-an Kodak. Standard Oil of NJ, US. Gypsum, Anaconda. Ken-necott. N.Y. Cent- tral, American Teleph ne and West- ern Union. Most rails and utilities held declines to lractiors.

FIRE COMMITTEE

Your Committee met during the year with the Chief and talked over any complaints that the members of the department thought traces- sary to bring before the Council. We nave recommended some changes. in regard to the equipment which we think is necessary for further- ing the safety of cur citizens’ pro- perty, particularly a pumper. also the installation of s. siren to replace the bells. We sincerely hope that the fire menace in the years to come will be no worse than in the pat year. Our relations with the Chief and the members of the de- partment have been very congenial, and to them the Citizens owe a great deal of praise for the splen- did work performed for so small a remuneration.

Yours respectfully,

Eflvl B. Mar-Donald Chairman.

Fire Department

The following is a report of your City fire depart-merit for the _vcav ending Decenrber- 31, 1940.

We had 105 fire alarms this year. 39 general. and 66 still alarms.

Notwithstanding the large num- ber of alarms. our property toss wa; only $20,000. This is about $7» 000 less than last year.

Equipment used to fight iires is as follows:

54-00 feet of 2 l-2 lvgch hose laid 52 i-2 gallons soda acid chemical. 2i pkgs carbo-oxide

2 l-2 gallons foamltc.

Master adapter used l7 times.

652 feet of ladders u ed.

The average attendance of fires was B9 per cent.

The new equipnment supplied the department dur g the year con- sisied of 500 feet Goodyear hose t2 l-21 inch. i0 helmets. 1 auger. We also used 1'70 gallons of gasoline. 12 gals. oil.

On July ll I put on an efficiency test on the La France pumper at Government Pond and I am 1olens- ed to report that. this ntachine is m fir-t class condition. all tests con- forming io regulations of the na- tional board of fire underwriters

I discarded the Overlan hose truck as unfit for further service. ‘This machine had been condemned four years ago and the men now refuse to drive m1 it Fleven of our men have enlisted in the various branches of the war services and have been granted leave of absence for the duration of the war.
