Aid Mackey presented the following com
munication, which was referred to committee
| on FIRE department:
To the Mayor and Common Council of the City
| of Owosso:
Gentlemen-I would most respectfully call
| your honorable body's attention to some things
we deem necessary for the fire department.
We certainly need more hose and would re
commend the purchase of at least 500 feet.
| We also need and should have one or two con
trolling noZZleS. Some more rubber coats are
| necessary, also some hats for the members
while at fires, which will not cost very much.
Your honorable body should at some future
| time consider the purchase OF drop harness for
! the hook and ladder truck Your city is sadly
| in need of more fire alarm boxes, as the location
| OF some of the boxes are such that when the de
partment have answered the alarm they found
| the fire in another locality.
would most respectfully recommend an Indi
Gator be purchased and placed at the pumping
station. as recommended by the Water Board
| 1t would not then be necessary for the engineer
who was on duty to wait for the box to repeat
before he could blow the alarm intelligently.
Your Silsby engine should be kept in first
class order and ready to respond at any time.
A new set OF CRATES are needed, also one
blower valve and screws to fasten the nickle
jacket on, which is loose, and should not be run
unless fixed.
Also your committee on Fire Department
should purchase some steam and water packing
! which should be kept on hand at all times
| A wise and bench should be fitted up and
placed at the disposal and for the use OF said de-
| partment as 1t Is very necessary.
All of which is most respectfully submitted
| for your earliest consideration.
| Respectfully,
| +. w. SMITH,
Chief Of Department
! Upon motion, Council adjourned for one week
