The undersigned Committee of the Fire De-
partment, to whom the petition for an Engine
house and Lookup was referred, beg leave to
report that in their opinion building can be
bought much cheaper than built. There is the
store which is now used as engine room, three
story high with basement go by % feet, for sale
at $780, and the next one to it of the same size,
for sale at $1,000, either of these buildings would
contain ample rooD for engines and ladders;
good place for drying the hose; the basement
for lookup, and the second story would be
good for the use of the council, thereby saving
alone 500 rent year-more than the interest
on the cost of the building. We would there
fore recommend that q special committee of three
be appointed to negotiate with the owners for
one of these brick buildings.
