- Ald. CUNNINGHAM presented the following resolution
as a substitute for the report of the Fire committee:
|
- To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
of the City of Beloit: -
- Whereas the resolution offered by Ald. DAY
calls for advertising for bids to build a new fire station,
- which will cost from five to seven thousand
dollars, and as the city will have to borrow the money for said
improvements and pay interest on the same, and as our present
fire station is a good solid stone building and can be repaired
and made a first class fire station at a comparatively small
cost, Therefore,
- Resolved, That
this Council does not deem it wise or expedient to build the
new fire station according
- to plans and specifications, and that the
Fire committee be directed to have plans and specifications prepared
for the following repairs on the present fire station:
- 1. Take out front stone pier and put in eleven
feet wide doors in center with windows on each side
- with iron beams and posts to hold same up.
- 2. Take out the 12x12 beam that is below
the ceiling in main room and put in suitablel iron beams to
- hold ceiling and floor from settling.
