and under control of competent man
accr. The method Is, | suppose, similar to
that employed in shops and manufacture
ing establishments where each visit Of
the Waterman to u station is recorded on
a central dial in the office. Each station
will also, with consent of the city be con-
nected with the fire alarm system. The
number of watchmen required VIII be two

system IS, | am convinced, superior to and
cheaper than the one now employed, and
the entire subject is worthy of your care
full consideration.
| suggest. therefore, that the con-
tinuation of this service, together with
the proper methods of management is a
subject which may properly be taken up
by your honorable body. and one which
should now come under the control of the
city council rather than of the mayor.
Further ! think this service should now
be transferred to the fire department.

TWO NEW BUILDINGS.
Daring the past year the old poor farm
in South Burlington has been Sold the
net proceeds of the sale amounting to 81,
200 90 and the use of the farm until Oc-
tober l. 1903. The condition of the house on
this farm was such as to require an
Immediate outlay of several thou
sand dollars to put it In reasonable con
dtion, and the other buildings also need
ed repairs. Further, the farm being II
another town. II was impossible for the
city to transfer contagious disease cases
there for treatment. For these reasons
it seemed wise to sell the farm and erect
new buildings within the city on the new
farm recently purchased. AS you know
plans and specifications for a new poor
house have been completed and contrac
tors are at present figuring upon the cos
of construction.
In this connection the question Of tho
proper location Of the buildings as wei
as OF the desrability OF purchasing ad
joining land is of considerable Importance
/ recommend that your honorable body
take this matter into careful consdera
ton and that the entire board of alder
men visit the new poor farm IN orde
more thoroughly to understand the mat
ter in detail.
further favor building this year onl,
for the needs of the present or immediate
future. as thereby the expense will il
