The item, material and supplies, COW
ers the purchase of team of horses, in
crease in horse-feed, horse-shoelng and
fuel. and the purchase of $500 feet new
hose.
Your committee, after consulting
with the Minister of Interior and the
| Fire Commissioners, would recommend
| that the amount be increased from
| $il AGA to S66,l64.
The increase OF $4,000 which we rec
ommend is to cover the following
items Three new hose companies, one
| to be located at the head of Nuuanu or
Liliha street: one at Kalihi, and one at
| Waikiki: the cost of each of these to
| be $1,000; for the establishment of
nook and ladder company at the cen
| ual station, $3.50; for the purchase OF
additional hose, $4,000.
Gear: The .Joard of Fire Commits
! siuners submitted to the Minister OF
Interior supplemental report since
| December 3lsJ, 1893, giving addltiona.
Items which they considered necessary
al the present time The fire up the
valley at MIR. Bishops residence seem
| ed TO show some necessity for nre
| department to be stationed there. y
nose company would be sufficient. and
the power supplied from the Kalihl
pumping plant would give sufficient
| iurce. They also recommended the
| establishment of a hose company at
| Waikiki-a volunteer company. Ihey
decided, however, it would be difficult
| 20 establish a volunteer department,
and recommended a paid force. Look
.ng over kalihi, they found there
| should be a fire house at that place
The Kalihi pumping plant will throw
| a stream over any building in Kallhi,
Waikiki or Nuuanu valley. The eX-
pense of establishing these stations,
with harness, furniture and sundries
required, are necessary items"
Damon thought it was a little early
to speak of the probable revenues, and
he therefore recommended action on
he proposed item be deferred until a
thorough consideration of the report
could be had by himself. He stated
he Fire Department had authority tc
lraw 100000 with a payroll under the
Act of 1898 and authority for $4,000;
, under the present act there was asked
100000. and under the payroll Sl,2OC
additional. 80 that the amount" said
Mr. Damon, "tIat will be at the dlspo'
sal of the Fire Department is SO large
and the Government having other bu'
, reaus in urgent need of funds, mink
10 is a matter of sufficient considera-
. lion to defer the expenditure of sc
, .arge an amount until we see WhaI
, Act t will provide"
: Achi recommended that instead Of
, coating a station at Kalhi it be at
, Palama, being more central for that
; section OF Honolulu.
Upon motion action on the item oil
Honolulu Fire Department was de-
, rerred.
