Discussed by the City Council.
Norwalk's lire steamer stands in Plioc-
nix Engine company’s house condemned
by the state boiler inspector. The boiler
is split, and it is almost a miracle that it
did not burst and do considerable dam.
age. This condition of affairs cams
‘ about at the last “wash" of the company
on Tuesday evening, October 2,,but has
. been kept very quiet. The Board of En-
, glneere. in the meantime, have been get-
ting estimates of the cost to put a new
boiler in the steamer; also the cost of a
‘j‘ new steamer, turning the old one in in
part payment.
7 Chief Engineer Prowitt had these fig-
ures in readiness, last night, and accom-
. ‘panied by Engineer George S. Aiken, ap
peared before the City Council and In.
formed them of the condition of the
steamer. The matter was thoroughly
discussed, and while it was thought that
the city needed a new steamer and a
hook and ladder track, it was notdeem-
ed advisable at present to make any such
nvestment. It was the sense of the
Council that the damage be repaired by
. the placing of s new boiler in the steam-
er. It was voted to call a special meet
ing for 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Mon-
day, October 22, to appropriate an
amount snficient to make all the re-
pairs needed.
Enginr er Aiken, in explaining the
nature of the break, said it was in
the "up take," in a weak spot aboutelgbt
inches long by twelve inches wide; that
there was a split about three inches long
in the boiler at this point. Tue inspector
‘ arrived on Friday and condemned the
boiler. Mr. Aiken said that when he
took charge of the steamer,six years ago,
her boiler had not been inspected in ten
years. At that time a new furnace was
put in. That was now all right, but oth-
er portions of the steamer had been grad-
ually growing weaker, and he had made
ithis special duty to watch it thoroughly.
The boiler. he said, was twenty-four
years old, about twice as old as the old-
est boiler in use in Connecticut today.
Theboiler inspector was quoted as saying
that he had never seen an old engine in
such good shape.
Chief Prcwitt gave the estimates he
had obtained of the cost of repairing the
damage. Cole Brothers, of Pswtucket,
manufacturers of the steamer, $854), the
city to pay freight, making their bid
. $891 00; Pacific Iron Works, Bridgeport,
$775, the city to pry their own transpor-
tation; American Fire Engine company.
Seneca Falls, N. Y , $891, they agreeing
to pay the transportation, amounting to
$81.60. The Pacific company wuuld givn
a guarantee for one year. and the Ameri-
can for five years. The b.d of the
American company would im-lude en.
tire new fittings, making the subunit as
good as new. If the city wished to pur'
chase a new steamer they Would sell
a modern apparatus of their own make,
all of the latest patents, for $3,600, or
68,000 and the old steamer. Mr. i’rowitt
said .600 was spent upon the steamer for
repairs five years ago. He thought the
city Would not care to purchase a new
steamer and favored the estimate for re'
pairs given by the American company.
At this juncture there was an alarm of
fire from lion l5, and the chief, Council-
man Chinery and Engineer AllrIn left the
room. Further discussion of the subject
was deferred until their return. and the
usual monthly bills. amounting to $745,.
lib, were ordered paid. After the (Jenn.
oil had immortal some other business,
the firemen returned. and the mattsr of
the steamer was again taken up.
The chief urged the immediate repair
of the strainer as, he said, the water
mains wrrsln bail condition and mind not
be depended upon. I! there should be a
large lire, the water pressure would go
down so low that to get any number or
streams the steamer would be necessary.
At the time of scarcity of water the
steamer was always ltapt in readiness.
This was known to the insurance oom-
pahlei and it aided in keeping uninsur-
anes rates down. Norwalk, be said. had
been fortunate in having low tires, and
the lost by such was simply nominal.
' Because of this people did not appreciate
" the fire department. The truck corn.
patty was also badly demoralissd, and
before long something would have to be
done. At theflrs from which be had

Councilman Adams said he was sar-
prised to learn that the steamer was
not in good repair. It had only been
put to practical use once in three years:
that was at the time of the burning of
the Electric Light company’s station.
He thought if the city could get along
without a steamer for ashort time it
might be better to have the matter.
thoroughly investigated. The steamer. '
he said, had been quite expensive, and ‘
bethougbt the only proper way was to .
have the matter come before a special
city meeting, rather than for the Coun-
cil to make any special appropriation
from the lire department funds.
Councilman Osborne wanted a report
of some kind concerning the matter
from the firs committee.
Councilman Pinneo,of the firecommit-
tee, opposed a report by the committee.
Hesaid the facts of the case were before
the Council and they should act upon
them as a body.
Councilman Osborn was of the opinion
that insurance rates would be raised. He
thought the fire committee should
recommend something, .
The fire committee then reported in
favor 0! making the necessary repairs,
and the question whether it should
come before a 0i y meeting or not. was
discussed.
City Clerk Lockwood thought it pre-
ferable to let the question come before a
city meeting, and ask for a special ap-
propriatiou.
Councilman Adams favored a special
city meeting, and upon motion of Coca-
cilman Osborn a meeting was called.
The matter of defective sidewalks was
“ten taken up. The city clerk was re
quested wserve legal notice upon prr-
perty-owners whose sidewalks are in bad
condition, and order them repaired.
Councilman Chinery spoke of the bad
condition of the walk in front of the
Byington property on Wllwn avenue,
and suggested that the weeds be cut
down and a little gravel or ashes dump—
ed in the low plates.
The following bonds of city officers
were accepted: R. N. Morehouse, city
sheriff, $500. 0. K. Scolield surety; J. P
Tremlwrll, wazer commissioner, $1,000.
E. 0. Kceler surety: C. B. Coolidge,
water commissioner, $1 000, E. K. Locke
wood surety; Frederick Mead, water
commissioner, $1,000, l”). E. Wilson
surety.
Councilman Adams brought up the
matter of the special appropriation of
$500 for the highways. He said his de-
partment had practically finished their
work for the season, and would need but
little more to carry them through. He
favored the appropriation so that the
new Councrl would not have to borrow
money at the outset for use on the high-
ways. It was voted to appropriate who
for the highway department.
Councilman Adams, chairman of the
highway committee and commissioner of
streets to d sidewalks, resigned the latter
office and recommended Martin Kellogg,
the present superintendent of street), for
thr- plhltlrin. Councilman Osborne favor-
ed the ripisrirrtment. He said Mr. Kil-

Last evening was the initiative step in
