made to the First Branch on Monday last, ad
verse to granting the different Fire Companies
any special appropriation for the present year.
The report is signed by Messrs. Turner, Starr
and McCurey, of the First Branch, and Messrs.

consideration at several meetings of the COM

asked for by the several companies is large, for

dschargng claims new hose, sc.
The committee are aware that the expenses
of the FIRE department are large yearly, to have
their apparatus kept in proper order, that when
necessary, they may prove efficient in preserv-
ing the property of their fellow citizens.
The committee after mature elaboration are
constrained very reluctantly, to yield to the
opinion that they cannot recommend any spe-
cial appropriation to any company, for the year
1916, hoping by the exercise of proper econo-
my, they may be able to get through the year
with their annual appropriations. The COM
mittee deem it proper to state that in view of
an increased levy to meet the demands upon
the city treasury for the year, that they consid-
er the inability of the corporation in carrying
out many measures of importance before the
councils this session. The subject of special
appropriations to the fire companies claimed
and received the respectful consideration of the
committee, Gas they conceive the fire depart
ment at all times entitled toy in consideration

calls them.
In conclusion, the committee have only to
say, that they could not crafty their own feel
ngs, in making an unfavorable report, but for
the reason given, it would have afforded them
pleasure i'll reporting otherwise.
