INSPECTOR BUckIyGHAN's REpOar.-It will
be seen by the flowing card of Henry Lylsa,
Esq the worthy President of the Perseverance,
Fire Company, that the late report of the In-
spector OF Fine Apparatus. gives much dissa.is.
faction to the fremen of that organization
The report looked to MS plain spoken, and per.
hsps rather blunt:
TO THE EDITORS OF THE STAR.
Gentlemen: Seeing in tho monthly report OF
the inspector of fire appara US, published in
your paper Of the 9th. statement that he
should like to know what the several appro
pristions asked by certain fire companies were
for, deem it necessary to state in behalf of
the Perseverance Fire Company, that L called
on the inspector, and stated to him that the
company were in want of hose carriage. and
in ended applying to tho Corpor alton for 500
to ard them in purchasing one that woold cost
$3.50, as the hose reels were not worth repair,
and were liable to break down at any moment.
and requested him to state these facts in his
report; which he declined doing. -
do not desire to have an issue of yeracity
with the inspector; but rs his lar gasee Il not
kind or respectful to the companies who.have
Letitioned the Councils for an appropfi alton,
think it right to state the facts to the public
