The Board having considered the report of the Select Committee
of the House of Commons on the Metropolitan Fire Brigade,
passed a resolution protesting against the management of the
Brigade being taken from the Metropolitan Board of Works, in
order that it may be placed in the charge of a Governmental
Department; and that in the event of the Metropolitan Board
being required to incur a further expenditure in extending the
Brigade, the Fire Insurance Companies should be required to
contribute in a larger degree than they do at present towards such
expenditure. Copies of such resolution were sent to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, and to the Borough and County Members,
with a request that in the event of a Bill being brought in to
effect the proposed transfer, they will use their utmost exertions to
prevent its becoming law.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
CHARLES DUNCH,
Surveyor of the Board.
