Fire Department and Water supply, re-
s~peotfully submit the following report:
We have made q personal examination Of
the water compsny's tanks and find them
10 good condition. full Of water and over.
We have also visited all Of the
hose companies and ascertained
their wants and needs. The Mob Hill
Hose Cos. house and apparatus we find in
good condition, and they are not at pres.
In need Of any supplies. The Rich.
mond Hose Cos. property Is in good
order, but they need so feet Of hose and
two hand. Ian terms. and we recommend
that they be furnished with the same.
The Rescue Hose Cos. house and carriage
are in good condition and they have all OF
the necessary supplies except hose, and we
recommend that they be furnished with
100 feet. The Knickerbooher Hose Co.
well supplied with hose and all other
needs, all In good condition, but we
find their house is q very dangerous con-
dition and entirely unsafe for their use,
and as the expense TO repair IL would be
too great. we recommend that the county

Main street, which, by reason of location,
would afford better protection to property
than their present location. Respectfully

would recommend 70 the incoming Board
Of County commissioners TO have speci-
