The Honorable Council
City of New Rochelle-,
Sirs:
The `Down of Mamaroneck has reauested this City, through
the Ilayor4 for permission to use two hydrants in the City of
Drew Rochelle near the Tocvrn line, and he has referred this
matter, to the Water and Fire Hydrants Committee.
rt appears that the Town of Mamaroneck is installing
new water mains, but until said mains are in service the section
of the town at- the Boston Post Road will not have sufficient
water for fire protection, and the Board of Fire Underwriters
have demanded better water facilities.
Your committee has taken up this matter with. the Chief
of the Fire Department and with the New Rochelle Water Company.
The Water Company has answered that they will be glad to cooperate
with the Town of Mamaroneck in this matter, and that they have no
objection to use of these hydrants by the Town. The Fire Chief
has also stated that there would be no objection to the uxe of
the hydrants by Mamaroneck.
rt is therefore,. recommended that your Honorable Body
approve the use of the hydrant on Boston Post Road located
two hundred feet from the corner of Dillon Road,, and the hydrant
on Chester Place about two hundred feet from Dillon Road, by the
Torn of M-a aroneck for fire purposes..
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITM
WATRR AND F= HyDPAN:ii:S CO=TTFE
