| Of Committee ON Fire Department
Telegraph poles
| Committee to whom was referred the
| ordinance granting permission TO the Mu-
tual Union Telegraph company to erect
| poles, report the same back with amend
ments.
| Recommitted.
To the Common Council of the City of Saint
| Paul.
| GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Fire De-
pertinent, to whom have been referred the
matters hereinafter mentioneds beg leave to
| report.
1. They recommend that the resolution
| directing a warrant to be drawn in favor of
Wm Hustled, for 500, for services for month
of July, 1881, as substitute for John Toomey,
be adopted; and that the resolution directing a
warrant to be drawn in favor of JAS Shearan,
for Sl0.66, as substitute for NJ Mattocks, be
| not adopted.
The disability of Mr.. Toomey arises in part
! from exposure in the service of the CITY, and
for this reason we think this bill NAV be prop
erly allowed. The disability of Mr. Matfocks
| was not OccasiOned by his service in the Fire
Department, and he should pay his own SUBJ
| stitnte.
Hereafter we recommend that all men off
on sick leave, or otherwise, be required to nav
for a substitute themse YES, unlesssuch sickness
or disability is directly caused by and results
| from service in the Fire Department, in which
latter case they should be required to produce a
certificate of the city physician, stating the
number of days they have been unable by rea.
son OF such sickness or disability to attend to
their duties, and that IN his opinion the same
was occasioned by aud resulted from service
| in the Fire Department.
| 2. We recommend that the petition of a
G. CARPENTER for permission to erect stable,
yeneered with brick, in block 2, Hopkins ad.
dition, be granted, provided that he covers il
| with fire proof roof.
8. We recommend that the matter OF
awarding contract to John Mullen for
building fire cistern at the corner of Fort
| street and Western avenue, be, for the present,
laid on the table. 1t may be that some ar.
| rangement can be made at an early day where.
| by the water company will lay its mains in
that locality, and if not, perhaps the work can
be done at materially less expense later in the
| year.
| 4. AS to the matter OF fire alarm boxes.
the Committee beg lelve to report the whole
| subject back without recommendation. They,
at the same time, submit the several reports of
| Prof. George Weitbrecht and D. II. Church.
who were invited by your Committee 10 act
as experts IN investigating the several boxes
| submitted TO us, and report as to their respec
| tive merits. THESE gentlemen have devoted
| about two weeks to the subject and for this
| reason as well as for their acknowledged learn
| ing and ability, their reports are worthy of
| careful consideration, in deciding upon mat
| ter of SO much Importance to the city.
