committee, in which they said:
After looking over thoroughly sew
eral machines, the committee was OF
the opinion that the Maxim was the
: best suited to the needs Of this de-
paTtment.
Il Your committee aIsoh has received
approximate prices on several other
machines. The White machine offers
a chassis and engine of so horse power
for $4,000, they also make the offer
that if the district will allow them la
Boston and for one week in Provi-
4 dence they will transfer the present
equipment on the hook and ladder
truck to their machine without extra
cost. The Seagraves people Offer
their machine Of approximately the
same power for like sum.
The Maxim people have offered Z

The committee thinks that if tn

company. AS the district has now tw,

Mr.. Whipple moved that the com

4 hook and ladder truck that was hes
fitted for the fire district. The mo
