COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-hehioVal Vi
No. Engine House --
To the Honorable. the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul:
have to call the attention of your hon
orable BODY to the Importance OF some ac-
tion relative to the removal OF the st.
Peter street fire engine house. the present
location OF which is inconvenlent and I'M
desirable on the part Of the Fire Depart
ment and a standing menace TO the
peace and safety Of life and lmo
70 a large class of citizens
The most important, and as believe, the
most forcible and satisfactory argument, in
favor of its removal. is the fact of its being
located on one of the busiest and most con-
stantlv-traveed highways of the city. di-
rectlv opposite the Market house, the con
stautIv expanding and already Overcrowded
business and condition of which has re-
suited in crowding the traffic to
the verge of the sidewalks a great
distance in each direction and
at times the street is almost impossible
for either teams or pedestrians.
On such occasions, in the event of an
alarm of fire. the greatest excitement pre-
walls consequent upon the appearance OF
the fire auparatus. while the Inconvenience
caused bv the delay and the danger to life
and property is exceedingly great.
My attention has been called
to these facts. both officially
by members of the Board OF
Fire Commissioners, and unOf1icially by
trustworthy and reliable citizens. and III
view of which l would recommend that
your honorable body take the necessary
measures to have Engine No. l. removed
from st, Peter street to more suitable To-
cation. and if deemed proper the property
sold and the proceeds OF the sale Thereon
be applied to the purchase of new grounds
and the erection OF another building.
