[February 6, 1888.] No. 53. Report of the Joint Committee on the Fire Department Relative to Lot in North Burial Ground Standing in the Name of Providence Association of Firemen for Mutual Assistance. (Presented February 6, 1888.)
To the Honorable the City Council :
The joint standing committee on fire department, to whom was referred a joint resolution relative to the acceptance by the city of the sum of six hundred dollars from the Providence Association of Firemen for Mutual Assistance, the same to be held in trust and the income derived therefrom to be applied to the perpetual care of the lot in the North burial ground standing in the name of said association, respect- fully report :
[ 375 ]
That they have given to this matter careful and earnest considera- tion, and after having made diligent inquiry concerning it, find that the lot referred to was purchased by the association and has been graded, curbed and improved from time to time at their expense. A monument of most artistic design and finish has been erected upon it, and no effort has been spared by the association to make the lot an ornament to the grounds and a source of pride to our citizens.
The sum of six hundred dollars, to which the resolution refers, has been held by the commissioners of the North Burial ground since the latter part of the year 1885, and although this money has never been accepted by the city, yet it has been deposited in the Mechanics Sav- ings Bank, and the interest accruing therefrom has been expended in caring for the lot.
Your committee also find that the lots belonging to the Police Association and to the Prescott Post were donated to them by the city, and the perpetual care of the Prescott Post lot was assumed by the city in 1886.
The cost of such care is but trifling, and your committee are of the opinion that the city should be willing to assume the care of the lot belonging to the fire department association in the same manner as they have already done in regard to the Prescott Post lot, and not compel them to expend a portion of their fund, which is none too large for the purposes to which it is devoted namely : the relief of firemen who may be injured or who contract sickness while engaged in services at fires.
In view of these facts the committee recommend that the further consideration of the resolution be indefinitely postponed, and that the accompanying bill for an ordinance be adopted.
For the Committee,
Ira Winsor, Chairman.
