! in the Fourth ward, as petitionsd for, has
been referred back to said Board to ascer-
tain and report how soon water msins are

6. AS to the communication of Aid.
Starkey, Suggesting that the Dayton's
Bluff Engine house was being erected upon
lot to which the city had no title, and
that the Board had not purchased any of
the lots which it was understood they
were to purchase when permission Of the
Council to so purchase and build was
given, your Committee find upon full
statement by the Board and careful exam
ination of the matter, that the Board have
secured a most desirable location for an
engine house in that vicinity, that title
thereto was perfected in the city before
any liability on account thereof, or of the
building thereon, was incurred, that the
lot secured was better and several hun
dred dollars cheaper than any of
| the lots which were first mentioned for
! tbs engine house, and your committee are
of opinion that the action of the Board
has been wise and judicious and for the
best interests of the city aud all concern
ed. While it would have been proper and
perhaps more satisfactory to the Alder
men of the ward if they had been con
suited in the matter, yet to accom- plish
| the end desired required that negotiations
should be conducted as quietly and dis
creetly as possible to avoid extortion on
the part of owners, so that it seemed
proper to the Board to commit the whole
matter to the management of its presi
dent by whose tact, skill and energy q
happy conclusion was reached,
All of which is respectfully submitted.
