Danbury Evening News - February 2, 1889 - Special Borough meeting to petition Legislature for bonds.

A special business meeting was held in regard to petitioning the legislature for permission to issue bonds not to exceed $200,000. The Warden explained because the legislature convenes once in two years the necessity for funds during this time would be necessary to keep pace with Danbury's growth. Also, a committee was appointed to purchase a new fire engine.
