We find the cost nj pipe pei ton to be
SIC so. delivered at Day iona, and est
mating the cost of laying the lines one
mile north and south. and placing ny
drant- in Waycross and Midway, we find
the approximate cost To he $40, 900,
making n total of $31 40.
The cost OF laying the pipe lines would
be small. as compared 10 locations hav-
ing rock to go through, The cost OF pipe
is at present high.
We feel that this matter is one OF vital
Importance to our city. and believe il is
only question of whether You put it in
now or later The saving in Insurance
and the net profits from the water sup
piled would pay the entire cost OF the
plant in few years.
We find it impossible to give you any
but an approximate estimate, as only n
capable and experienced engineer could
make exact figures.
We attach correspondence on this mat
ter, with estimate OF expense of going
over the ground hva capable man, which
Is estimated at 5000 Also the rulings

ton ~ to the requisites regarding insur-
ance. We also attach catalogue Of fire
apparatus and valuable. book on the
subject from K y Wood 4 Co.
would ask that YOU simply consider
this ~ a preliminary report, and that
YOU take such action Us YOU deem best.
We recommend that You erect large fire
bell at the city hall, 10 be operated 10y

city into iirn districts with n code of fire
alarms
While we Were appointed IA committee
ON this subject only, We would call your
attention that system of sewerage is
becoming of vital Importance. The eases
OF typhoid fever in our city are directly
traceable to the system we have at the
present time Wewuuld recommend that
a sewerage system be put In now, even
if the water system has to go till later,
though Wa think both should hc put in
at once,
Your present committee ask To be dis
charged, and that new committee be
appointed Respectfully submitted

AND FIRE PROTECTION

TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND Council
OF THE CITY OF DAYToNA:
GENTLEMES- We, your committee to
whom was referred the matter of inves-
fighting Water works and fire Protec-
ton, beg leave to report as follows:
We have gone over the ground quite
carefully. We have examined the systems
in other cities in FIoridn, and find as
follows:
DeLand has volunteer fire depart
mcnt which does efficient work in cas-. Of
fire. 1t it rated as a third-cass town,
and gets rates fully % per cent lower
than Daytona rates
DeLand has an iron tank about 20 X
30 feet, and IS feet above the ground.
From this the city derives il revenue Of
81 900 per annum above all operative
expenses.
Miami has stand-pipe erected at a
cost of 5000
We would recommend the following as
a good system for Daytona:
An iron tank 20 30 feet. placrd so
feet above the ground, or a stand-pipe
- feet high To he placed on Kidgcwood
at or near the North canal \ line OF 4
inch pipe along the three, st reefs running
north and south. with 6-inch later;tIfs.
Hydrants be- placed 80 feet apart

Cude Of the industry is gained by
