Report Of committee on Fire in re motor driv-
| en- apparatus for FIRE department
To the common council:
Your committee fire respectfully reports
to you that they have investigated and studied
as to the best way of improving the transpor.
tation Of the hose carts in No and No. a
station We have observed and compared nre
fighting apparatus. the location of department
stations and the number of men employed in
them in other cities and can truthfuly say
that although two of our hose carts are horse
to any city in the state. However the horses
in station No. and No. cannot be depended
upon very much longer and since horses and
their maintenance expensive, in order to
assure response from those stations in the
shortest possible time and from the econ0mi-
cal standpoint, we believe in gradually motor
izing these stations
When attention had been called 10 a.
motor driven truck used by the department
at Wisconsin Rapids, we were surprised to
hear that it was brought about by assem-
bling the various parts mounted upon a body
to fit chassis which had been purchased for
that purpose all at cost of $2,1 so. We
believe that we can do better as we have GER
tain parts which go towards the equipment,
therefore.
We recommend that the chief Of the FIRE de-
partment and the mechanic test the chemical
tank removed from one of our present horse
drawn hose carts and put in servicesble con-
dition, and that the board Of public works be
authorized TO advertise for proposals for
suitable chassis and close the bargain; also to
have a body built according to measurements
recommended by the Chief of the fire depart
ment and when completed to temporarily re-
place the LaFrance in station No. to which
shall be attached motor driven pump, then be
assigned to where the chief may think best for
the protection of the city until all four depart
ments have been motorized.
