The Engineer recommends the purchase
Of steam engine, as he considers that
one IS needed when the hydrant pressure IS
low. and when fires occur outside the hy-
drant limits; also man is needed at the
hose house all the time with one horse to
move the hose carriage. He also recom-
mends that a pressure gauge be placed IA
the hose house and that the hose house be
connected with the pumping station and
Superintendent residence by telephone,
and suggests that committee be appointed
to.examiae the water system carefully, to
gether with the contract with the Water
Company, and learn whether or not the city
IS furnished water IS agreed and paid for.
