GsiiTiiBirEN: The petit iou of th undersigned, Board of Trastees, rt spectfally represents ? that tho Legi latnre gave to tho Independent Fii . Engine Company, of Columbia, tl lot of land on Bfclmrdso?'?treet, SE used by tho Company for many yea foran engine house; and this et tion fnrther showeth that your bbl orable body proposed to exebucj lots with the Company, offerii them another lot on Washingtx street, with mich number of fe front as wonld bo ample for the o ject they bad in view, viz: tho ere tion of au engine house. The Company accepted tho prop sition mado by ymir honorable bod and named fprty feet front, which, them, then seemed ample for the purposes and their means; and, i deed, it was lois than yon had offer to give in oxchnngo. The undersigned would, thorefoi submit the following statement facts, togother with the plans, et? to which they would invite your sr cial attention : It is known to your honorai body that tho Independent O^mpa havo now, in complete order, /or BI vice, their engine, and by the gei rosity of distant friends a superb ci riage and BOO feet of superior ho: and that they havo no building sui bly located and adapted to boase t same. They are ut present tempo rily located, subject to removal at a time. The necessity for an engine hoi hus, for a length of time, given 1 nndersignod (and others! mach c< orn. Varions propositions to cr a houso have been suggested, diocu ed and abandoned, owing to the wi of means in the Company or in 1 community. Recently, however, p positions have been made to I \ of tho Masouio Lodges o? thia city, io which they offered to give the? sum of $4,250 towards the oration ?f a building suited nod adxfpted to o ?Jr joint wants, and by which, they, may have the completo imd permanent use mid control of tho third story. 1 '.' These proposition a hoveHieen care? fully un<i maturely considered" and approved. Plans have been pre? pared, and contracts abd obligations' ! bavebpeu. entered. Ju to. ?By, a uaiou I of tho funds, and moans at band, o? i both associations, th? uudersignad ? are. satisfied that the Ind op on dont I Company' Will bo securely, peima nontly and advantageously located, ? and both-associations will be secured I iri the joint arid permanent occupancy I of the building, thus securing by [ joint ne lion what neither oonld other? wise accomplish, and to the injury of no other person or persons. In these engagements, however, ? tho undersigned have involved their t Company for a large amount, but trust in Providence in tho future for I the means to accomplish their under? taking. Thar? is ono matter, however, in this connection to which we would beg to call your special attention. In tho exchange of the lots aforesaid, the Company accepted forty feet frout as ample for their then sup? posed wants for a building 22x50 feet. By tho present arrangements, the building is much enlarged, both in width and depth, being 88x68 feet; which would leave us no outside en? trance to tho yard for our apparatus; a matter of absolute necessity and convenience. Then, again, We ma; bo cut off from light and air, both on tho East and on the West. "We de? sire to be placed in a position beyond any contingency, and it is a mattel of vital importance to the Company. The undersigned, therefore, would respectfully petition your honorable body to grant the company say eighl feet on the East side of the lot, run liing back parallel to the full deptb thereof, making say forty-eight feel front-and rear, whatever the deptl: may be, and also to place them in lui legal possession of the premises. Tho contractor in now ready tc break ground, and we are. awaiting the action of your honorable body And your petitioners will ever pray &c, J. J. MACKEY, J. C. 8UTPHEN, G. T. BERG, L. LEVY.
