Select Committee on Building Engine
House, I'd ward, make the following re-
port:
Yoar committee on whom was con-
cost Of IN Engine House as per plans
and specifications OF frame and brick, do
respectfully report as follows:
After examination and after gathering |
Information and figures from builders
and others, we came to the conclusion |
that an Elgine House of frame as above |
stated, viii cost about $1600OO; of
brick the sanle building would cost
about s25O0.OO. Besides the building
there must be expended about 400 to 500
dollars for grading the lot and building
clstern. We further take the liberty
LII giving our views and suggestions con-
corning the proposed Engine House, as
follows.
lst. As taxes will be unusually high
this season, owing to the payment be-
coming due for the $4,000. 90 r. Road
Bonds, X. Il. interest, Bridges, and ex-
tensive street Improvements, therefore
we would suggest that the BUILDING of
". Engine House should be postponed ,
to next season.
I'd. That building might be leased
III the 3D. ward for the Engine to be
placed therein until the new Engine
House is completed. i
3D.. That the Engine House lot should
be graded and brick..cistern built there
on this season and no more.
4th. That III our opinion all public
buildings hereafter built should be built
of brick or stone, of good taste SO as to
make them, besides their necessity, an
ornament to the city.
