The Committee on Fire Depart

ton of the Palmetto Fire Company,
respectfully ask leave to report that
they have examined into the merits
OF said petition, and find that it is n
case of necessity on their part-their
present hose being in a wretched
condition-totally unfit for working
at fires, and very likely in any emer-
gency to leave them without the
means of stopping the progress of q
fire. AS it is of great moment for
the Fire Department to be fully
equipped in this essential, your COM
mittee would recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolution:
ResolUed, That the Palmetto Fire
Company be authorized to draw
upon the City Treasury, for an
amount sufficient to purchase 500
feet of good leather hose, and defray
the expenses thereon, for the use of
said Company. PrOUided, That ar
rangements for the payment of the
same be made by instalments, in
amounts hereafter to be agreed upon.
Respectfully submitted.
