"I Select council met In lrgulnr xesslon
a.-t night with nil the mcmbcis pios-
trit. The minutes of tho Inst mcntlni;
-were ieadnnd accepted.
The tcport or tho building commit-
,,tw wiia called for nnd Mr. Munition
brought the long delayed nml much
nirltnled cottage hosp house onllnanco
.befoio tho council. Ho unci Mi. Battle
Mibmltted a innjoilt)' nport recom-
mending the pilmlng of tho ordinance.
Mr, Fletcher Mibmlttcd a minority re-
1'ort ntltlnr that tho oidlnnncc be laid
- on tho table Indefinitely. He gave
my IrIH ii-a.sons for his opposition to the
flection pt the house, briefly an fol-
lowsTIjodlBtanVo to that neotlon of
ihe ejj' frbfn.ths pieoent hose house
Is too short to make another building
ncees'fc.-uy.ond tho house In the rout til
"wind are so scattered that the dancer
of 11 conflagration Ih veiy Blight.
The sight (.elected In bucIi that only
n unill district would get nny IjuneiU
wlni t,evei. The dlxtilcl east of the
I'elawate and Hudson tracks as prac-
tlvilly Inaeccf-slble.
It is not customary In cities of thli
sbe to haw Hie luiiihes on its out
fits To build tho houtfc would be an ex
pensive precedent as then the other
llstilctu of the city could Justly cry
for like piotectlon.
Ths city cannot afford It at this time;
thete Js no appropriation for it. The
damage suit decided ngalnHt the city
nnd othcrrcialma on the tieasory de
mand the "greatest economy In every
way.
Retrenchment In all branches of city
Government Is Imperative. The last
election resulted in an emphatic de
inand for more caic in upending- tho
I'lty's money.
Tho building' of a new hose house
would be only the beginning of a
largo drain on the city ns the exnense
of equipping it would bo considerable,
and the current expenses would en
large each year.
Tho property to be protected should
govern the location of tho hose houses,
and the Fourth ward is tho lowest In
valuation In the city, while tho houses
arc the most Isolated.
Mr. Mannion then spoke in favor of
the ordinance. lie nald over 300 resi
dents of that section of the city had
petitioned for the building and the
company would turn over to the cltv
in one dollar ;lts deed of the property
valued at TMO. He asked why this
oidlnanco should not be passed, even
It there were no appropriation, when
He Itacket Brook bridge ordinance
"as c.inied without one.
Chairman Thompson took tho floor
iimj ai rayed himself against the 01
iiliuiiifc as did Mr. Davis.
Mi. Fletcher moved for tho adop
11 hi uf tho minority repot t. Battle,
J'mett and Mannion voted no, killing
1 motion.
Munnlon moved for the adoption of
mujoiltv report, and Fletcher,
iil.- and Thompson voted negatively,
