expenses for working and repairing til,
apparatus.
We believe that (S45) forty-fve dol
lars should be sufficient to keep the al.
paratus in a. good order as Is necessary
and IL the company desires to have il
| polished to an extraordinary degree, In
order TO make q show at parades and an.
niversaries, We believe they should pay
for the extra labor themselves. r
The other exception to which we refer
Is the salary OF the secretary. The Ara
| Fire Company i'm addition to It's public
character has a private Organization for
the purp )se ofbenefitingi its own mem bers,
and with this the public has nothing to
DO, and from which they receive no
| benefit. It's this private part OF their
| organization which necessitates the use
| ofs salaried secretary. as the public
business Of other fire companies can be,
and Is transacted by volunteers, and re-
quires so little Of their time that we
have never yet heard Of demand for
| u salary to this officer in other eompan-
les in the city.
We therefore recommend that, instead
Of the present demand for si77, 81,
the city shall issue to the Arab
Fire Company scrip to the cash value of
three hundred and eighty-six dollars
aud sixty.two cents, the market value
ofcity scrip on the day ofissue ~ be taken
in determining the amount.
Your committee beg leave further to
report that the present trouble In regard
TO the bills, IL all caused by the fact that
the ordinance in regard to the matter
vas not drawn up according TO the re-.
cOmmendation al the committee which
proposed II. We therefore recommend
that The words working aud,u which
Immediately preccde the words "repair.
ing engines etc, be stricken out. This
Will make the ordinances In accordance
with it, original intention, aud cut of
all cause Of disputes. co..
