BECAUSE OF IMPROVEMENTS
MADE BY CITY

from time to time from the last
previous Inspections in 1887, he
adds.
Mr.. Cook mentions operations OF
the fire department as well as the
addition to the city water system Of
a new we'll and pump, with a
standby motor, in case Of a power
failure.
improvements Suggested
Recommendations are made in
the report which, Mr.. Cook suggests,
be used as a guide for making i'm
provements in the future. Many OF
these recommendations can be car
ried out to early completion. since
they do not involve the outlay of
any funds. Others will require the
expenditure of money and should be
regarded in the light of a long range
planning program, say over a period
of five years.
Several Improvements recon-
mended have been under discussion
for some time by the fire depart
ment and the mayor and city
council. One suggests that the fire
department be equipped with a
modern automobile triple combina-
ton hose truck, 100 gallon booster
tank and a pump of at least $50
gallons per minute capacity"
Purchase of such a truck was
agreed upon some time ago but
plans have besn delayed because
such equipment is not now avail
able.
Would Up Water Flow
Also suggested is a FIRE flow" of
water of 1000 gallons per minute
for eight hours, over and above the
average consumption rate. Detailed
records and plans of all structures
r also recommended.
Regular inspection of hydrants
and gate valves is recommended,
as well as main improvements ito
supply the required flow at all
points in the mercantile district,
with lines to hydrants not less than
6-inch."
After purchase of a new truck,
it is suggested that the present
truck be retained in reserve and
equipped with a booster tank and
booser pump. Other minor equip
ment also is recommended for the
department, along With installation
of an automatic alarm system fol-

board of fire underwriters and adop-
