ion Of the extensions now in process OF
instruction BY the Brattleboro Water
Work, company. we believe the time has
one ior reorganization Of the fire de.
arment OF this village for the purpose OF
hCihg It on more practical working
asis and changing from steamer to ny
rant service.
while we FULLY recognize and appreciate

Ie believe that on completion OF the I'M
tWed hydrant system, making l0O n.y.
rant, available for fire use within the
iIAge limits, an active force of 80 firemen
roperly organized, equipped and distribu-
ID will furnish ample protection to prop.
ny within the limits of the village OF
therefore resolved
That the baiIitfs of the village of Brat
eboro with the advice of the chief engln-
ar be and are hereby authorized and EN-.
oEeled by vote of the taxpayers and
gal voters Of the village of Brattleboroo
revise and reconstruct the rules and
Y-aws governing the fire department OF
NJ village and to appoint 50 firemen and
substitutes from the active membership
the present department and to appor-
On and assign them to such duties and
@ltlons in the fire department as IN the
hment of the bailiffs and chief en-
neer the men so appointed are qualified
FILL.
Upon the motion Of John 7. Kaine the
solution was adopted. S. A. Richmond
egested that in view of the reorganlza-
On Of the fire department as had been
We'd one or perhaps two Of the fire en-
mes could be disposed of to advantage:
: CIosby said that when he introduced

a'ment he had in mind the matter OF
e steamers but deemed it wise to leave
al matter in the hands of the bailltfs.

on.
Moved that the bailiffs be empowered
