THE NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT
STATION.

The Times prints in another column
today brief description of the new
fire department station on South Main
street, which has just now been COM
pleted, so that the people Of the city
may know what they have. TO be ap-
preciated fully the building must be
personally inspected, for 1t Is difficult
to convey a concise idea Of the perfec-
tion Of the equipment by means Of a
mere newspaper description. we feel
certain IN saying that there is none
other in the state that equals this
building for its purpose, and as one man
declared, Il man whose business gives
him opportunity to know, no city in
New England, Of the size Of Barre, has
a better arranged station We do not
say this in a spirit Of boasting, but
simply to emphasize the completeness
of the arrangements. Someone may say
that building costing $4,000 should
be fine one, and we agree with that
person. But Barre has long needed d
new fire department station, and the
rapidly increasing needs would have de-
manded the outlay sooner Or later As
now completed the structure viii do

pelicr seems to have impressed itself
ON one newspaper man, who reports
Had the city been the owner Of a
chemical engine, every particle Of the
loss by water could have been prevented,
and the loss by water was the heaviest
When first discovered, the fire was in
an incipient stage and could easily have
been extinglished by the aid Of d chem
zeal, while at the same time the large
loss sustained by the pouring on Of
two streams Of water would have been
prevented as the reporter says. Cities
Of the size of Barre and Montpelier,
In which there are a great many small
fires, largely from ehimneys burning out
really require chemical engine apparatus
Barre has already had one in use for
nearly q year and the fire department
would not part with it now.
