and report: F-a
On the memorial of the Board of Underwriters
| asking for the erection of an effective "alarm
bell;" although the committee are aware of the
necessity of better system of alarms in case of
| fire than that at present in operation, yet they
are compelled to report against the memorial of
| the Board Of Underwriters on account of its ex-
eessive cost. The Surveyor, in his report to the
Council in June last, estimates the cost of
tower built of brick, with the necessary bell
ETC., at 24 1862; the cost, built Of castiron, at
$30,870. The fire alarm telegraph, now pend
ing before the Council, complete, will cost $15,-
900, and, in the opinion of the committee, will
be far more effective in every way than any
other system. 1t has the recommendations Of
being cheaper in the first construction, and
cheaper in its annual cost to the city than that
proposed in the memorial. ~
