This Engine has been 18 years in service, it was regularly used and tested at Drill for Drivers and Fires during the year, overhauled at regular intervals, and is now in good working order. The Firebox of this Boiler is getting thin, and I would recommend that a new one be purchased from the makers to replace the old one during the year.

All the Manual Engines and Gear, Hose, Reels, and Supply Carts, have been kept in repair, and are now in good order and condition.

I have, &c.,

D. MACDONALD,

Engineer, Fire Brigade.
