We take the Liberty to put you in mind of the Necessity of
Repairing and Securing the Publick records & Buildings what
was resolved on as to the former We Apprehend is not pfected
and as to the Latter there has been nothing done we propose
it to you as a Prudent Provision ag^t Accidents of fire for the
Security of the publick buildings that a good fire Engine with
20 or 30 Leathern buckets might be sent for at the Publick
Charge to be Lodged in some one of those buildings for the
publick use and we think it would be a further Security to
those Buildings were there such Provision made by a Publick
Act for the City of Annapolis as has been Proposed in Mal-
brough and also that Oxford may be Included in that Pro-
vision
Signed p order Joh Beale Cl. Up^r ho.
