The Committee on Fire Department beg
leave to report as to the several matters re-
ferred to them as follows:

Michaud Bros. for permission to construct
and retain wooden building within the fire
limits be denied.

Stahlman and F. Richter, asking that the
creek crossing Fort street near Toronto be
utilized for fire purposes be referred to the

neer and the Alderman of the ward.
