NEW FIRE ENGINE HOUSE.
Probable Purchase Of Site on Lanier
Place.

Although final action in the matter has
not yet been taken, 1t is probable that the
Commissioners will soon purchase lot
of ground on Lanier place northwest as
site for a fire engine house. Several pro-
tests against such action have been received
at the District building, and 1t was IN
answer to them that Engineer Commission
er Biddle today forecasted the outcome OF
the negotiations which are now under way.
The protestants were a unit In declaring
that Lanier place is too narrow for nre
station; that 1T is located IN the extreme
northeast portion of the section which 1t IS
calculated the company shall protect; that
Lanier place is now exclusively residence
street and that its quiet would be ruth
lessly disturbed at all hours by fire com
pany responding to calls. and that 18th
street or Columbia road would afford much
more desirable sites for an engine mousse
All of these statements are answered ano
the attitude of the Commissioners toward
the Lanier place site is explained by En-
gineer Commissioner Biddle in the course
of a formal recommendation placed on the
papers today.
II move that the protestants be informed
that the Commissioners are directed py an
item contained in the District approprla-
ton act to construct fire engine house IN
this general section and the amount of the
appropriation is such that the money when
could be expended for the site Is very nm
tied; that the Commissioners advertised
for a site for the engine house, but no sat
isfactory ones We're offered: that the Com
missioners afterward learned that sites
could be obtained on Lanier place within
the amount limited by the appropriation.
The chief of the fire department has stated
that the site against which the protestants
object would be satisfactory. The same
objection raised by them to placing the
engine house on residence street would
apply to all parts of this section, as the
only business street in the section is 18th
street and the price of land here would De
far heyond the amount of the appropriation,
and. moreover, any site on this street would
be on hill, which location Is not suitable
for an engine house; that while, therefore,
the Commissioners, of course, do not de-
sire to interfere with any property rights
and have not yet closed negotiations for
the purchase of the land, they may be
obliged to purchase the land on Lanler
place"
