COLUMBIA, August 6, 18G7.
To the Honorable the Mayor and Alden
men of die edy of Columbia.
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

fully beg leave to report: That th

standing; precautionary measures b

effected, to endeavor to put a stop t
trifling with the water io the spring
drips and reservoirs containing til
city water. These appear to be di
regarded, for tho annoyance still pri

for juveniles to indulge their prank
but What may be sport to them is nt
considered safe for the purity of tl
water. Your Committee would, thor

for the uso and occupancy of one ?
the firemen attached to the Wat
Works Department, be built, at tl
expense of the city, on the Nortl
west corner of the lol-provide
that snob house can be built for
sum not to exceed $150, exclusive
