| REPORT OF BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable City Council of the CITY
of st. Paul:
| By order of the Board of Fire Commits
| sloners herewith transmit communica
ton to the Board, of Superintendent of
Fire Alarm, l. R. Jenkins, asking for the
| removal of electric light lines. The Board
| recommend that the fire alarm lines have
the right of way. In this case the city line
is on the north side of Fifth street, except
for this one block between jackson and
Sibley streets. A majority of this Board
believe that the electric light wires en-
danger the reliable working of the city fire
alarm lines, and therefore concur in re-
quest of Superintendent that thew should
not be on the same poles Or on same side
| OF street If possible TO avoid it.
The Board also request the Council to
order gas lamp and post to be erected at
| the new engine house, corner of Eighth and
Minnesota streets, so as to light the front
and street approaches Of SAID house, and
that the oil lamp and post now standing
on the southeast corner of Eighth and
Minnesota be ordered removed to the
southeast corner of Eighth and Cedar.
respectfully submitted,
f. R. DELANo, President.
December 4, 1888.
Accepted and portion relating to
electric light wires referred to City At
torney to investigate and report ordinance
to cover the matter, and that portion re-
lative to gas light and lamps adopted
(see resolution).
