For your Information. we have beer
having considerable trouble and ex-
ptnSe in maintaining the bumpers ri
Nos. and 3 Fire Stations. These
pieces of equipment are both approx
mately - years old and replace ment
parts and repairs are prOhibitive in
COS. and, in some cases impossible to
secure
After investigation we find that To
place these two pieces of equipment III
efficient working condition would COST
i'll excess Of $2OOUU. provide the
parts could he obtained. which il very
doubtful. And. We would sill have olU
equipment.
We are very much worried due Ia
the present war conditions, and the
possibility Of a c;Ita ~ rOphe during
these times and our ability tO cope
with the Sijuas ion even if we had dOu-
l,lp he amount of the equipment.
After all these surveys and inVeSii-
cations. We earnestly recommend that
