NEW FIRE STATION
Big Two Story Brick TO be
Erected on Williams Street
NEXT TO CITY BUILDING
Stations No. | and 2 to be
Combined in New House.

Wichita is TO have a big two story fire
station right next to the city building
on the east and all the men and appa-
ratus thrown together. At present there
is house on North Market and one on
South Topeka. The one on North Mar
ket is equipped with a hose cart, chem
ical engine and steam engine and the
one on South Topeka with a hose cart
and the hook and ladder machinery.
When the new building Is constructed
these will all be concentrated. 1t will
increase the efficiency Of the department
by improving the discipline and system.
1t is necessarily awkward and clumsy the
way it is arranged at present and for
three years Chief Walden, who never
loses minute to improve, has been work.
ing necessarily to get the stations on this
side of the river combined in a central
position. He is about to realize his hope
and the very efficient service heretofore
given will be materially increased.
The new building will be of brick, with
a front on William street finished in white
stone, such as that of which the city
building was constructed. 1t is to be
71x140 feet and continuous in appearance
with the north side Of the city building.
When this is done the patrol wagon and
horses will be brought to the city build
ing and in dispensing Of the service Of a
man it will save a great deal of time.
This arrangement viii also remove the
necessity of one or two men in the fire
department and in getting the diff . ent
departments together wili be an important
measure Of economy. The ground and
building Of the new station will cost the
city very little in excess Of what the
old stations can be sold for, so that the
expense will be insignificant compared to
the improvement in the service.
