To the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Ark. Gentlemen; Fayetteville, Ark. December 8th,1924. REPORT FROM THE FIRE COMMITTEE After due consideration of the City's water supply and the advantage of being able to use thie full supply, it seems to us wise to purchase a larger pumper than the one we already have, and we believe. a 750 gallon pumper would be the most practical one. With the addition of this larger pumper the City would be meeting some of the demands for bet ter fire Insurance Classification,as well as actually giving better protection. We feel it would be advantageous for the full Council to consider the various items in connec tion with the purchase of a pumper,and with this end in view we recommend a resolution be passed embodying this plan.
