atoms by them for changes to be
made and according to Chief An
selm, these conditions have never

President
To Police and Fire Commission
Wyandotte. Michigan
Gentlemen:
The fire hydrant located at the foot
OF Walnut Street is connected to
the dead end of a four inch main
and is inadequate for fire protection
in that area.
recommend that ten inch main
be installed from Van Alstyne
Boulevard to this location with a
large hydrant.
This hydrant is very important
because of the fact that it can be
used for fire protection for the
hospital. Eberts Brothers Coal Yard.
and the boat houses at the foot of
Walnut Street.
also recommend that a steamer
hydrant be installed at the corner
OF Van Alstyne Boulevard and Null
berry Street for fire protection for
the hospital and other buildings in
that area.
would also like to call your at
tention to a communication dated
May 18th, 1914, in regards to water
mains and fire hydrants on 18th
Street between Grove Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, which is still
without water for fire protection.
Yours truly yours.
Gustav Anselm.

Avenue to Goddard Road, and re-
ferre to us, I beg to report as fol-
lows:

portion of 18th Street between Clark
Street and Goddard Road. This
petition had 77.6% of the frontage
involved and the plans for the i'm

and since all signers In the present

Street and Ford Avenue.
On this basis there are 1928 OF
feet involved, of which 1850 feet
are represented in the petition
or $685..
Should these two petitions be
