The committee who are to report as
to the advisability of a new fire depart
me- : = 'lding at the special meeting of
the + vinegar Village corporation, Fri.
day afternoon, are anxious that the pub
lie shall appreciate the Importance of
the question left to them to investigate,
and that the meeting shall be largely at
tended to give the subject the careful
consideration which 1t deserves. The
committee is entirely agreed in recon-
mending a new building, and are pract-
cally unit as to the sze and style of
same. With view to the present ne
cessties Of the corporation and with
proper regard to the future they think it
advisable to erect a building forty feet
on the street and sixty deep, two stories
in height, built entirely Of brick, at an
estimated cost for lot and building of
$40, 1000. Such building would permit
of a nearly perfect arrangement of the
fire apparatus on the street floor and fine
halls on the second fl DOR for the use of
the fire companies. Some of the citizens
have suggested to the committee that
portion of the second floor could be
fitted as an armory for Co. E, and to
this project the committee have given
some consideration. The building could
also be built In such way as to provide
for police station in the basement If
desired. 10 connection with the recon-
mendations of the committee for new
building they will, Of course, advise the
sale of the one now occupied for fire de-
partment purposes.
