missioners be requested to draw up
plans and specifications for the erection
of an engine house on the lot adjoining
the city hall, as recommended by them.
Mr.. Wirsching objected, and Mr.. Schafer
agreed with him. President Franken-
field said that it was almost the unanim-
GUS wish of the fire board that such a
building be erected there, and spoke in
favor of the proposition, saying it would
save at least 1925 per month to the city.

erect big business block on the site
projected for an engine house, and sug-
gested that the rents accruing therefrom
would amply repay for the building Of
several engine houses. On being put to
the vote, Mr.. Browns motion was lost
