fifteen automatic signals and ten miles
of wire, and the system is to be COM
pleted in four months. Each addi-
tional alarm is to cost 1925.
Aid. Pitcher explained that the fire
department offers to pay $1,000 of the
expenses. He moved that the COM
mittee on fire department, with the
chief engineer, be authorized to make
a contract for the purchase of the
system.
Aid. Bashaw thought the action
hasty, and thought that great deal
better figures could be had from other
companies, if bids were advertised for.
Chief Phillips stated that he did not
know but that Aid. Bashaw was right,
but that Jne system under cOnsidera-
tion is thoroughly good.
Aid. Fowler stated that the fire de-
partmeut would not put in it's own
money unless this was the best system
Ex-Chief Black. of the ST. Paul fire
department, appeared for the Game
well company and said that the price
was low.
Aid. Peterson stated that the coun-
Gil had been rightly criticised for ex-
pending city money too freely. While
he favored purchasing fire alarm
system, he wanted more time to find
out what the property holders wanted.
Aid. Widell wanted the matter post
poned for couple of weeks, to ascer-
tain how the people feel.
The motion was withdrawn, and the
matter was laid over until the next
meeting
The report of the Board of Public
Works upon the Fifth street street
sewer was taken from the table, where
it was placed at a previous meetings
This estimates the expense at $2,159,
all of which will be paid for by the
property owners.
What the brewery will build will
reduce the estimate to about $1,000,
