The recommendation was signed by the 16 members of the fire department, who acted unan imously in the request to not ac cept the pumper fire truck. ' Considerable discussion followed tlio rending of the recommenda tion. The commissioners heard re. ports that the truck's clutch was defective, that the f. n flora were too tightly constructed and of other mechanical defects. Commissioner p, I .a ml is jedd that lie believed tlie company would be willing to correct these faults. No action wiw t;ik-n on the rec ommendation last night beyond en tering it upon the minutes.
