To hring the hose companics to the degree of efficiency recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters we should have six men on each shift. We now have five men on Hose Companies 1 and 2, and four men each, per shift, recommend that consideration be given the incre: ing of all hose companies to squads of five men each. Service Ladder Need “Each year the hazard in the sec tion of the city to the north of the railroad crossover, particularly in the northwestern section is increas- ing. and to furnish proper protection we believe no time should be lost in providing a 53-foot city service lad- der. to he manned by two shifts of five men each.
