GENTLEMEN:-In compliance with
instructions from the mayor, | have
made an examination of the different
locations suitable for three new houses
to be erected for the fire department.
I found ample and suitable grounds
belonging to the city, upon which
these buildings can be erected. The
locations are as follows:
For Second Ward Hose Co., the lot
now occupied by them, at the inter-
section of San Pedro avenue and Main
avenue, will fully answer the purpose.
For Sunset Hose Co., piece of
ground situated south of the present
hose house, also the property of the
city, is well adapted for that purpose.
For the Mission Hose Co. there is
ample space on the triangle lot adjoin-
ing the market house on South Alamo
and Water streets.
1 would recommend that these
buildings should be not less than
25X40 feet and while all the space may
not be required at once, it will be but
short time hence when every foot
will come into good use.
The three new hose carriages for the
above companies are now stored at the
Hood and Ladder Truck house await
ing the completion of the new quar-
tiers.
The mayor and fire committee were
given this in charge with powers to
act.
In accordance to a resolution pre-
scented by Aid. Gallagher. Police Of
ficers Kulavek, Gray and Redding
were confirmed by vote of the council.
The bids for excavation for the new
city hall were announced as follows:
Braden q ga cents per cubic yard
for 80 days.
