Fire Commissioner spoke as follows: "While we have been par-
ticularly fortunate in the past regarding fires in the City, we can not
expect to always continue so, and I believe that the time has arrived
when vre should at once install uo-to-date fire fighting equipment
and provide an unlimited water supply. I have investigated and found
that by doing so that the reduction in the premiums on insurance will,
in a few years, :more than off-set the cost of first-class fire protec-
tion, and in addition we will have the sense of security that comes
from knowing that we can control, and limit, the scope of any fire that
might otherwise cause great damaue in our City, The Board has been pe-
titioned by the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of aealtors to call
a bond election to raise adequate f~xnds for vroviding the City with

be 'instructed t .prepare the preliminary measures necessary to place
before the voters of this City the proposition of issuing the amount
of bonds necessary to raise sufficient f~znds for this nuroose. The
above motion upon being seconded by Trustee iZeed was carried by the
