An ordinance has also beon passed
and approved authorizing the Mayor to
make contract with the Spring Hill

pense of $50 per m.nih for each hy-
drant. These hydrants are to be placed

the Chief Of the Fire repart aent. The
supply and pressure of these hydrants
are believed to be sufficient to abund-
antly protect the major part of the resi-
dence portion OF this city, which here
tofore has been practically unprotected.

year, and while the price is high for the
amount OF water likely to be used. it
nevertheless imparts a sense of security
and protection 30 valuable property,

pense.

organization of the entire department..
