FIRE STATION
For the West Side will be a Fine
BuiIding.

Building.
The plan adopted by Council Tues
day evening for the West Side fire sta
ton, will. if carried out, make a struc-
ture that can be used for a number of
purposes in saving rent for the city
and will at the same time be a build
ing that will be a credit to any location
on the West Side that Council may
choose.
The building as planned will be
two-story affair with basement. The
latter can be used for storing and shell
tering city tools, scrapers and other
appliances; on the first floor will be
two large rooms suitable for fire de-
partment uses, one for the hose wagon,
horses, etc, the other for the fire en-
gine
In the second story are spacious
quarters for the men. The roof is to
be of the sloping kind.
The building will be surmounted by
a high tower for the bell and for hang
ing hose while not in use.
The matter of location is still in
doubt as it is question whether or not
the city lot at the end of the bridge
can be used for that purpose.
1t seems to have been definitely set
tied that the station is to be built but
of course the City Council will take no
forward steps until they feel safe so
far as their right to use the location is
concerned. The estimated cost OF the
new building is $3,1O0.
