suaaested that the building inspector interview the persons
responsible for the nuisances and require their abatement.
Trustee Rueger stated also that the dry grass on vacant
lots immediately west of the :1 Segundo Hotel should be burned to
eliminate the fire hazard to automobiles which are being parked on
this vacant property. It was suggested that the Fire Chief look
after the matter.
Trustee Rueger suggested that it was advisable to have•the
inside of the fire hose moistened at least three times per year in
order to maintain the life of the rubber in the hose and suggested
that this be done by the janitor, who should be permitted to obtain
help if necessary, by running a small garden hose through the fire
hose, using care not to wet the exterior fabric. The matter was
referred to Trustee Davis, Chairman of the Public Safety Committee.
No further business appearing, it was moved by Trustee
Smiley, seconded by Trustee Bryson, that the meeting adjourn.
