to the neccessity for a code of rules and [regulations?] for the guidance of the department and maintainance of a proper discipline. The present rules have never been adopted by any constitutional authority.

I would also suggest that a revision be had of the salaries paid to the firemen. The best skilled labor is a neccessity and is employed in the department. The present pay is much below that allowed by other departments and is inadequate for the service performed.

I would also call your attention to the fact that the fire boat is nearing completion + that the new chemicals ordered are now about due here. No provision has been made for a slip for the boat or houses for the engines. I would also suggest that the old head quarters building with the canvas cover and the [stores?] and such [other] material therein not required at new head quarters be sold as soon as the new head quarters are ready for occupancy.

Very Respectfuly
