 Referring to resolution passed by yourselves October 2S. 1908. in which you requested that the Bisbee-Naco Water company connect it's mains to the city fire mains, thereby furnishing an additional water supply for fire protect on purposes.
 Complying with your request, this connection was made on November Is, 1908, and the city now mas, in case Of fire emergency, access to what water we may have in our Spray stor- ] age tanks.
 'The supply from our Spray tanks / to your fire mains is controlled by |, valve, located near your city hall and l the above mentioned valves are un- der the control of yourselves.
 Also 1t is to be understood that | what water we may furnish Is to be used in the event only of confagra- ! ton, that we are not prepared to furnish water for general fire and city purposes, neither will we assume any liability whatsoever that might . accrue from our inability to have a ' supply of water or from any other cause.
 With this understanding. we will be pleased to furnish the city water :, free of charge.
 "As an additional safeguard to the city we would be willing to connect your fire mans direct to our pumps at Naco station. Our pumps at sta ton gre always in commission and If directly connected to- your mains would give considerable more pres sure than from Spray storage tanks"
