supply submitted the following report which was
accepted
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council of Belfast.

place before you the several proposals which have
been under our consideration, and which for con
vcnience VIC have marked No. /, No. ?, and No. 8.
Proposal No. |, with its accompanying plan, as
will be seen, offers very full and almost extrava-
giant system of piping, but at fair rental CON
sidcring the extent of the proposed works. We
have had the parties submitting this before Us,
and found them unwilling to make what we con
sidercd necessary notifications
Proposal No. offers an ample system in its
wording, and your committee had INDUCED in the
hope that this might prove to be t, favorable
butupon the plan being detailed more particularly

furnishing the needed fire protection, but sufficient
for domestic service without doubt
Proposal No. 3, which your committee endorse
"rccommended' presents an ample and efficient
hydrant rental all things considered, than any
