FIRE DEPARTMENT CoMmiTTEE
Decides to Repair the Ola Vigilant Fire
Engine.


Engine.
The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment held a meeting last night.
Present, Messrs. Robertson, Dobbins,
Irwin, DinRer, Milligau, Filan, Otto
and HorStman. Representatives OF dif-
ferent local firms were present to look
after their interests. A motion was
passed to go into executive session, and
all but members OF the Committee were
excluded from the room.
Considerable time was spent in an in
formal discussion regarding the adyisa-
bility OF purchasing a new apparatus
to replace the Vigilsnt engine. Then
the clerk read the bids for repairing
the old engine. They were as follows:
Spears &c Riddle, S773.50; VIM. Cox IL Co.
5000; Chas. NJ. Oliver $500. The bid Of
the first named firm was the only one
which specified in detail the necessary
improvements and changes to be made.
Mr.. divers bid provided that the en-
CINE be subject to the approval of the
Chief aud the committee after repairs
are made. Members of the committee
expressed some surprise at the moderate
charges In the bids, the opinion prevail
ing that it would require about 81, 900
to make the repairs.
The proposition of the Ahrens engine
representative was read, and then came
discussion as TO which was the wiser
poliey-to repair the old engine or pur-
chase new one. The latter view was
the popular one, considering the pres
ent condition OF the city 6pances. Up
on motion Of Mr.. Dobbins, the bid of
Mr.. oliver was accepted by unani-
nous vote.
