The President notified the Council that it would be advisable to remove the Fire apparatus from its
present storage, Elk River Grage, to the E.N. Daly garage on Main Street, reasons for such change

Chemical Truck or the Fire Engine after discussing the matter it was decided to remove the same
and the following resolution was duly passed.

removed from the Elk River garage to the Daly garage on Main Street and that whatever part of the
same could not be stored in the Daly garage would be taken care of in the Building known as the
