FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT.
Submitted for Approval TO the Council Ut
Last Meeting.

At a former meeting of the common
council. Chief Motfitt, of the fire de-
partment was asked to make a report
of the location and condition of the fire
hydrants. The report has been finished
and submitted to the councils.
There are siXty-fve hydrants 10
which the fire companies have access,
the number including those hydrantS
on the Crystal Lake and Fallbrook and
Newton companies lines.
Some of the hydants are not in the
best of condition, some twenty-fonr
needing repairs; the other forty-one are
oil right and have a good pressure.
The report was the best ever received
and 1t was adopted.
AS repairs are needed on several of
the hydrants 1t was thought best that
they should be made at once. before the
ground freezes. 1t was suggested that
the fire chief be given power TO have the
necessary repairs done and the authori-
ty was accordingly given the chief.
letter was read from A. p. Traut-
vein. informing the council that 500
feet of hose for the Cottage Hose COM
pany had arrived. and he would like
TO know what he should do with il. The
hose Is supposed to bear a pressure of
400 pounds to the square inch The fire
chief was instructed to look after the
matter.
