Messrs. Perry, Clark and L'Amoureux,
a Committee appointed to examine and re-
port upon fires, fire plugs and water supply
submit the following, which has been ac-
cepted and made a part of this report. The
tanks on the hill west of town are full OF
water; together, 10000 gallons. The tanks
in the canyon south Of town are also full /;
the supply of water is ample, the FIRE plugs
in good condition, but seven Of these plugs
are old and unsuitable for a cold climate,
being liable to freeze. and no amount of
care could remedy this matter, the construc-
tion of these plugs being such that preven-
tive remedies can not be adopted. Two of
these plugs are new but liable to

therefore, recommend that all these I'M
suitable plugs be removed and others
adapted to our climate put in their place
Immediately. Again, the pipes supplying
all the plugs on Main street, north of Bate.
man street, are three-inch pipes and four
inch pipes. This diminishes the force Of
the water to such an extent that its effect
iveness for ~extinguishing fires is greatly i'm
paired. We therefore recommend that six
inch pipe be laid on Main street north of
Bateman, and that six.inch cross pipes be
extended therefrom to each plug; also, that
the pipe running through Gold street to the
ire-plug near the Episcopal Church be
changed to a six-inch pipe. and also the
pipe running through Clark sti eet to the
tire-plug near the Hooks & Knicks' house
be changed to a six-inch pipe. The supply
of water is ample, and with these changes
the town would be well prepared for extin.
gushing fires. The outlay Of money would
not be great, and even if it were greater,
we think it good policy to make the changes
alluded to, as we consider any money ju-
diciously expended in preventing fires to be
true economy.
We would direct the attention of the
County Commissioners to the suit originally
instituted in the Justices Court, and now
on appeal to the District Court, for the re-
moval of a very great nuisance, consisting
OF a Chinese wash-house on the Main street
just above the Bureau Saloon. 1t seems to
US apparent that such a dangerous building
should be at once looked after, and the law
concerning it Immediately enforced.
We earnestly recommend the County
Commissioners to open a proper highway
from the sou tn side of the Eureka CONSOLE
dated Cornpany's works to the Z. & p. r.
X. depot, the present one being entirely un-
fit for use. We further recommend the
widening Of Rnby Hill Avenue ia one or
more places. This highway is too narrow
in several places; and as there is a large
amount of travel there seems every reason
tor making it passable for teams of all
kinds.
We have not thought it necessary at this
time to go into an examination OF the books
and account Of the county officers, their
term of Office having been too short to per-
