FIRE HOUSE IN
CITY STREET
Strange Situation Found to
Exist in the Mechanics
vile Section So. AmbOy

[By Evening News Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, June pa pc
culiar situation was revealed yester-
day when n search of the county
records and a survey brought to
light the fact that the Mechanics
Vile frehouse, which has just been
built and completed by the Mechan-
~icsville Hose Company, as a private
corporation, is located directly in the
middle of a city street.
Some time ago the company,
which is composed of residents or
the Mechanicsville section, purchas-
ed a lot from John j.. O'Neil, being
rendered a warranty deed for the
same. They immediately started up
on the construction of a modern hre
house, to house the motor truck
purchased by them last year out OF
their own funds. Members oil the
company performed much or the
labor in connection with the con-
struction of the building, which was
erected by Contractor Ferd Tedesco'
and on every hand praise was show
cred upon the Mechanicsville hre
laddies TO- their action in not only
purchasing their own fire truck, but
in building their house Without as
sistance from the city.
The deed was conveyed to j. }.
O'Neil by ROLAND Dey, and refers
specifically to a map drawn by A. u.
Disbrow. This map shows that the
parcel of land, so X 100 feet square.
is directly a part of Alpine street.
The street has never been open TO
travel. and a fence had been placed
across it, leading to the BELIEF thae
it was a privately owned piece OF
land. Half of this was Nc by
O'Neil to the hose company, whlch
now finds that it has a
built upon land which they PAID or,
but nevertheless a part OF a city
street. od
News of this discovery spread
quickly through the city, n II Is
the general belief that the city, IN
recognition of the services OF the
Nechanicsville firemen and in appre-
citation oil their performance OF a
civic duty, will vacate hat portion
Of Alpine street and tender it to the
fire company. In the meantime steps
will be taken by the fire company TO
recover the purchase price from
O'Neil. , uo
The boundary line with S~ayreVllle
runs directly behind the piece OIL
property that was sold to the nre
company.
