Two red warning lights were installed on the grill of Engine #2 to improve
visibility of the apparatus to motorists and pedestrians. Engine #2 was also
tuned up and-the carburetor was repaired to stop a gasoline leak.
The stove in the Chief's quarters continues to operate poorly. The heating
unit in the oven has been repaired twice in the last three months at a cost of
$7.50 each time. Replacement of this unit is necessary as it still does not oper-
ate properly. Replacement of this unit would cost approximately $40.00. The
timer also does not operate. It is recommended that a new stove be purchased to
replace the existing unit.
The bunk room is in need of a paint job. The walls are peeling and chipping,
host of materials is estimated at $15.00. Labor will be supplied at no cost by
the bunkers.
