Bogardus was present and he urged
that the Chamber of Commerce take
this matter under careful considera-
tion with the view to endorse the?
proposition. He recalled the recent
Hatch and Bailey fire and pointed out
to what advantage that fire could hale
been fought had ohcre been fire boats
to use. A Special committee consist-
lag of William P. liovi Samuel

tention of the city council.

,thera was more or loan common to
equiping boats with fine apparatus at
the expeppe of the city and that his

Aexpense estimated between 8800 and
.31,000. The pumps would throw two
streams of 250 pounds pressure
A Mr. Howard stated that his company'
{would offer the use of the boats to the
'City of Norwalk and asked that in re-
tu urn that the. city pay for the actual
time spent. if that proposition is

for nothing.
