HULL STREET TO BE PAVED.
Bids 10 BE Opened Nay Ist-Hose
ststtons-Ofher Manchester Items.

posals for paving thirty squares (sidewalk)
on Hull street with the best No. Rockets
brick. Bids Will be opened on the 1st OF
May and the work is 30 be completed by the
lat day OF July. The ordinance under
which this paving Is to be done was
adopted more than year ago, ana
the work would have been done be-
fore now but for the scsnt supply OF good
paving brick. The cost OF the paving
proper Is 10 be borne by tho Taxpayers
whose property fronts on the street line
where the payementis laid, and it was origi-
naIly intended that the property.owners
should aIao bear the expense Of the guttering,
but II now seems 10 be the sentiment OF the
Council that the city should pay for the gut
tiers.
HOSE STATIONS.
One OF the most important matters now
pending in the Council IS that OF establish
ing hose stations at suitable places IN the
CITY, so that In case OF fire the hose NAV be
gotten ut quickly and conveniently. The rec
port now before the Fire Committee recon-
mends the establishment OF Two stations IN
addition 10 the present headquarters OF the
fire company. Many property owners nave
expressed the belief that 1t would DO
safest to have three stations besides the
present central one. Messrs. Bowen ~
Bradley, with their characteristic public
spirit, have offered to procure special set
OF harness and keep horse always IN readl-
ness 10 carry the hose-carrlage to The bre
without delay whenever an alarm 10 turned
10, whether IN the night or day. II the
Council will locate station near their busl-
ness property, which covers 8 large portion
Of the square on the south side oil lhir-
tenth between Hull and Bainbridge streets.
WATER IN THE TANK.
Water has been pumped into the tank on
top OF the high tower on Spring Hill, and
Captain White, president OF the company,
thinks there will be no more trouble about
getting water when fire breaks out with
reference 10 the recent trouble al the pump
house when there was no water in the pipes
10 extiuguish the fire next to the Beattie
Block, Captain White, after explaining the
circumstances which lead TO the trouble,
said:
"Such q peculiar condition OF affairs
might not occur once in a hundred years.
Now, since the water-tank il completed, we
will always have large quantity OF water
on hand, and that will give ample protection
10 the city I'm case OF fire and at tha same
time meet the demands OF the wator-iakers,
even ii the pumps DO no not work for some
length Of time. DO not, however, appre-
bend any more trouble from this quarter"
