Feb Goth 1897
To the Hon Mayor and Common Council of the
city OF Owosso:
We the undersigned, citizens and taxpayers
do respectfully petition your honorable body to
investigate the advisaolity of giving West
Owosso better fire protection. We ask that a
hose wagon and one team be kept in this part
of the city We believe same is necessary.
owing TO the almost impossible condition of
Main street IN muddy weather. Repeated dis
astrous fires in the 4th ward go to show that
the dwelling houses in West and South Owosso
are in extreme need of better fire protection.
One half OF our factories are located in this
part of the city, and the majority Of our people
being dependent directly or indirectly ON these
factories for an existence, we consider IL poor
economy to be without proper protection from
fire. man and team could nearly pay ex

specially petition that you act In this matter
