better fire whistle service, will say, il is
our judgement if the whistle now on
the pumping station was carried TO the
top of the chimney on the pumping
station il would give much better SER
vice as a fire whistle. We would
recommend that the Water Board be
conferred with in regard to this matter,
and the change be made if possible.

Hon. Mayor and Common Council of
the City of Belding:
conference.-the committee TO
whom was referred the selection of
street signs, and posts on which TO place
them, wish TO report, that we have
considered the matter and decided that
metal enamel signs, placed on two inch
boiler tubing, as posts, would answer
the purpose sufficiently. We would
recommend placing signs on corner
houses where we may have the per-
mission and thought advisable.
