Recommendations.
We would recommend that the town discontinue the use of the Union street Engine house for a voting place.
We would recommend that the town establish addi- tional building laws, and appoint a building inspector.
We would recommend that the town purchase a motor car for the use of the engineers.
We would recommend that the town purchase 1.500 feet of hose.
We believe that the day of horse-drawn apparatus is fast disappearing, and we are fully satisfied that the cost of maintainance for motor apparatus is not over one- third of what it is for horse drawn, and gives better ser vice ; therefore, we believe that we should purchase motor apparatus each year until the whole apparatus is motor drawn.
