Up to this juncture the committee had intended to ‘pur- chase a chassis for each of the hose wagons from some approved manufac- tory and then to have transferred the 200d and serviceable bodies of our hose wagons to them by some local wagon builder. After several evenings of deliberation on the part of the committee it was finally prepared to contract with one of the builders un- der consideration for two machines, and while engaging itself to this end a representative of the Maxim Motor company of Middleborough, Mass., made his appearance unannounced. From him the committee learned that the Maxim shop was the out- Erowth of a wagon building concern of long standing: that they had been in the automobile business for a few years and that during the last two years had specialized in the construc- ton of motor fire trucks with signal success, and that the sole owner and manager of the enterprise was the chief engineer of the fire department of his own city. This latter fact, coupled ‘with the knowledge that the Maxims were under extremely light overhead expenses, and were in every way reliable, attracted the committee in their direction and after three sep- arate conferences with them which in- cluded the owner and master builder, a contract was awarded them to con- struct two chassis, exactly alike and of cient strength and power to transport one thousand feet of regu- lation fire hoze and a dozen men over any of our hills at a smart rate of speed; also, that they have power adequate to tow either of our steam fire engines up Granite street. - In the contract it was stipulated that they were to use the present hose wagon bodies, the chemical apparatus of the brass rail and as might De useful and decorative. The conmtract price for the outfit was $4,500. During the construction of the trucks the com- mittee deemed it expedient to adopt the use of more expensive tires than were at first planned and to make oth- er needful additions to the equipment that carried the total cost up to 84,724, which _is $1,276 less than the amount appropriated for the purpose at the last meeting. Regarding the power of the ma- chines, Cyclone No. 2 was taken in tow up Granite street for a test. While in transit and abreast of Grove ave- nue they were moving at the rate of 15 miles per hour. In passing over the crest of the hill the rate had been reduced to only 12 miles per hour. The committee was satisfied with this creditable performance.
