| would earnestly recommend theI
of more reservoirs, especially
one in the yacinity Of the law office Of
Quarles Bros, on Main street, of extra
size, as we have atpresent no reservoir
in that portion of our city Of sufficient
capacity to supply the steamer in case
of fire. / would also recommend the
building of a dock ON the river at the
foot Of alley near M. Stahl's Ice house,
of sufficient size and strength to ac-I
cOmmodate the steamer in case Of fire
in that portion of our city, the same
being very poorly supplied with reser-
voirs. ~
/ would further recommend some
repairs on Engine House No. 2, andI
the purchasing of at least two sprawl
nozzle.
I would also call your attention to
law passed in our State Legislature of
this State, making provisions for the
safety Of occupants of factories and
other large buildings in case of fire,
which should be enforced.
All Of which is most respectfully
submitted to your Hon. body.
