Tho Committee on Fire, to whom was re-
ferred the recommendations of the Chief Of
port rs follows:
l. In favor of placing a one horse hose car
riagc with 1000 feet light linen hose and one
OF the pald men of the department as driver
at the station now occupied by the Mutual
Protection Hose Company
:. All ersely as to the purchase of 4 four
wheel 2-hose carriage, and new hook and
ladder truck, for although the committee
think 1t would add to the efficiency of the fire
department, still they consider the present
apparatus, if kept in good order, sufficient for
B. In favor of purchasing new two-horse
wagon for the fire department.
4. In favor Transforming the present ordi-
nary harness OF engine and hose cart No. 3,
INTO swinging harness, the cost being small.
D. In favor of placing two additional alarm
boxes at points in the city to be determined
upon hereafter by the Chief Fireman and the
Committee on Fire.
q. In favor Of building one-storv brick
structure in place of the wooden shed (which
Is decayed ana needs rebulldingl now usei as
stables for the Hook and Ladder Company,
SAID structure TO be used as quarters and
stables for the Hook and Ladder Company.
their present quarters being very inconyeni-
ent on account, of small space and the low
arches to the doors, causing invariably nm
necessary delays in going out.
Z. We further recommend that If the above
named brick structure is built, to move the
Waiver engine and hose cart No from their
present quarters to the quarters now occupied
by the Hook and Ladder Company which
would, with some slight alterations be ouite
ample for the Waiver Engine Company. This
would save the city $500 per annum for rent
and light, which the city now paws to the
Germania Fire Company; besides, would give
the Chief Fireman better control over his
men, As 1t takes the Waiver engine seven
minutes to get up steam, this change would
cause no loss Of time in being in readiness at
1res IN parts of the city as near the present
station, as in seven minutes all the engines of
the department can reach any part of the city
and be ready for service on their arrival
