that the said Company has ahowa no
disposition to .resume their dntlee under
the ordinances and conditions of author
Ity which bare been fouad to work well,
and to be satisfactory, both to city gov 1
ernment and fire department - for a time

underatand this company now de-
manda that the ordinance relating to the
Ore department 181 and 180 Inclusive be
so changed that all fire apparatus Inclu
ding horses and vehicles be turned over
to them at all times., All this apparatus
Is purchased by the tax levied upon the
property of citizens of the city by us to
je used forpublle purposes.. Our char
ter requires that we provide for protec

that have been In force more than twen
ty years, glres the fire department eons
plet control bt all apparatus during the
fire sad such d rills as the rules of the

this to as far at we can go to abdicating

We recommend , that the , amid eom-
