Baltimore, Md, June 3, 1916.
County Commissioners of Anne Arun-
del County Annapolis, Nd.
Gentlemen-The fire hydrant con-
nections, which the Brooklyn and Cur
tis Bay Light and Water Company is
providing for on it's extensions. do not
meet with the approval of this depart
ment. Four-inch connections are be-
ing provided for, and 4-inch hydrants
are contemplated.
Brooklyn and Curtis Bay are fast be-
coming thickly populated, and should
have the benefit of regular city fire
protection 1t seems tc me that. for
the protection of the public you should
require the use of 6-inch hydrant con-
nections, and hydrants with at least q
5-inch valve opening.
| would moreover, recommend that
all future hydrants to be placed in this
vicinity. be equipped with steamer, as
well as ordinary hose connections.
Yours very truly
ROBERT B. MORSE,
Chief Engineer.
The following commupnication was
received by the Board in reference to
the Eastport garbage:
Eastport, Md. Jun 5. 1916.
To The Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Anne Arundel
County:
Gentlemen-The disposition of gar
bage in the village of Eastport has
been for some time serious question.
In days gone by such rubbish as was
collected was simply dumped in marsh
es or upon vacant lots, a practice
which can no longer be tolerated,as it
is unsightly and constitutes a menace
to health
Besides the fact that property own
ers object to their lots being made a
dumping ground and that some parties
dump rubbish anywhere, and COM
plants abou same have been made
the Board of Road Commissioners of
Eastport respectfully petition your
Honorable Body that a system of gar
bage collection be considered. and to
make such regulations concerning the
same as may be deemed wise and prop
er by your Honorable Body.
Very respectfully,
HENRY SHEMBECH,
C. B. GRAY,
H. NJ. BOISSEAU,
L. B. WHITTINGTON.
