To the Common Council: Your committee on Fire Department, to whom was referred the communication of the Board of Fire Commissioners relative to equipping a fire company in the Oth ward, respectfully report that they agree with the board, that it would be inadvisable and inexpedient to weaken the department at the central station. The board estimates that it would cost $3,97-5, and that the matutenance after the lirst year, the company would costannually $2,250. While this seems to be a large sum of money, nevertheless your comrnittee deem the establishment of the company in the 6th vvard necessary for the ampie protection of property in tbat ward, and parts of the 4th and Ist wards. We would therefore reeotnmend the appropriation of $4.000 for the establishment of a company in the (itli wai d and its niaintenance for one year. Respectfully submitted: .1. ÜMara. A. J.
