lot "a, Forsyth ward. on Barnard street, be-
tween Hall and Huntington streets, which
belongs to the city, as the site upon which
said engine house shall be erected. The plans
and specifications have been prepared by the
City Surveyor. and they call for the erection
of d good and substantial building. large
enough 10 accommodate other apparatus than
those now Intended to be put therein. Bids
were invited for the erection of said building
of either brick or wood. Four submitted bids
to erect same of wood and they ranged from
Sl,700 to $1,000. One bid WAS received to cree
same of brick from K. X. Bragdon for $3.50.
The committee believe it is economy to build
same of brick. An engine house should be
built of similar material as that of other pub
lie buildings. They recommend the accept
ance of said bid for the erection of said engine
house according to the said plans and specih-
cations prepared by the City Surveyor.
