1872, and six years later in October, 1878,
the lower floor was repaired and about
516 floor lists 81 by 10, then found de-

Nine years later in October, 1887, the
lower floor was again repaired and about
220 floor ioists 80 by 10 were again found
decsyed and were replaced by new ones.
The old floor joists that are yet left are
now found to be decsyed about three
inches and the new joists that have been
put in from time 10 time are decsyed
about two inches and are all more or less
split and all these jcists so supporting the
lower floor are in an unfit condition for

The Franklin Hose company, the only
remaining one of the old volunteer de-
partment. is preparing to disband as
soon as the city takes the outfit off its
hands. 1t is expected that the incoming
council will DO something definite in re
gard to making arrangements for further
nre protection for the city. The plan
generally approved is for new company
on Moline avenue, about Twenty eighth
street, and one on Fourth avenue in the
neighborhood of Fifth street. While the
franklins are now making arrange ments
to disbsnd they will continue as they
nave IN the past to respond to all alarms
until the city relieves them, which is
thought viii be as soon as the new coun,
Gil gets in working order. The outgoing
council has made a record tor itself in es.,
taoilshing paid department for the city
that it may well be proud of, not only as
municipal body. but each Individual
member is deserving of credit for the
progressive spirit shown, and it is safe to
say that the new body will finish the work
which has been so admirably begun by
its predecessor.
The Franklins last evening made sew
eral members of the company presents of
trophies belonging to the organization to
be kept as remembrances of the days of
the volunteers. With the Franklins dis
appear the last vestige of the volun-
teer department.
