NEW FIRE STATION.
Fire Chief Buckley States His Posi-
ton in Regard TO Matter.

10 the Editor Of the ISennebec Journal:
SO much discussion is being had
about the real reason for the proposed
new fire station and SO many state
ments being made by persons evidently
not correctly informed that l am led
To briefly state the chief needs OF such.
from my standpoint.
First-Augusia citizens will be amaz-

does not own both house and lot of
any engine or hose house in town.
Second-The present No. /, known as
the Cushnoc Hose. commonly. situated
ON Bridge street, has been absolutely
condemned as unsafe by competent
contractors and builders. If this is
so. and it's truth Will be clear to any
person paving a visit ON any windy

swing and swaying as each gust blows,
then not only local pride, but good
horse sense ought To convince all eiti-
zens that TO keep property worth Sf5,-

snrdity itself Again to expect nine
men 10 increase the constant risk of
The work they are doing by spending
their spare moments in this unsafe
structure is, putting it gently, hardly
fair
Third-The Portland fire taught a
lesson of the disaster to expect when
the heart OF the system became feeble
Fourtt-The Underwriters National
Beard recently criticized Augusta for
want of proper financial support for
its fire system Surely when, as is the
fact, Augusta spends IA smaller per

proper start in the right direction.
