SHOULD THE CITY BUY
THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING?
QUESTION FOR CITY COUNCIL
Jly23. sat1yr

Will Be Taken Up at Special Meet
ing Of City Government Next Mon
day Evening - Matter Of Buying
Motor Ladder Truck for Fire De-
partment to Be Considered at Ses-
sion
The ACCESSIBILITY of the City of Au-
gusta purchasing the municipal
building from the Augusta City
Building Co, and the question of
buying city service motor ladder
truck for the fire department equip
ment are matters which are sched-
uled to come before special meet
ing of the City Council to be held at
80 next Monday evening at City
hall.
Since the recent fire at City hall
there has been considerable agitation
that the city should do something
towards taking over the building as
provided in the contract made be-
tween the City and the City Building
Co. in 1895 when the building was
erected by the latter corporation.
The insurance examiners recently es-
tablished the sound value of the
building as rising $4,000 while under
the terms of the contract made be-
tween the Building company and the
City the valuation of $4,000 was
placed on the building. Under the
contract the City pays four per cent.
of the $4,000 valuation, or $4,000 each
year as rent and has the privilege of
paying in such sums as desired on
the principal which would reduce
the rent in proportion and go to-
wards the buying Of the building.
= Since this contract has been in ex-
istence no payments have been made
on the principal, which sums would
reduce the interest due each year
and also enable the City to acquire
an equity in the building. 1t is felt
by some that the City should take
advantage of this provision in the
contract and make a beginning to-
wards taking over the building; and
further that the City should have
commenced years ago paying $4,000 or
so 2 year on the principal SO that it
would today own the building.
On the other hand, the feeling as
been expressed that from business
standpoint the City would not gain
anything by purchasing the building
at the present rate of interest which
would be charged in the open mar
kct on loans or bonds in view of the
fact that under the terms of the con-
tract the Augusta City Building Co.
gets only four per cent. on it's money
70 rthe City's use of all tn eoffices,
themuditorium. etc. in the hall Fur
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-03-11

ther.. that assuming the City paid
this money for the building by small
payments each year, it would still
have to reckon interest at the rate
charged in the open market inasmuch
as the City is now obliged to secure
temporary loans in anticipation of
taxes and the payments made an
nually towards the purchase of the
building. should the City take it
over, would necessitate heavier loans
or a higher tax.
The present officers of the City
Building company which owns City
hall are. President, William H. Can
nett; treasurer. Wilbert s. Wilson;
directors-Frank G. Harrington,
Percy V. Hill, Fred G. Kinsman, Guy
O. Vickery,. William G. Boothby,
Charles E. Sturtevant and William
H. Gannett. Charles L. Andrews is
clerk of the Board of Directors.
The other matter to come before
the city government at Monday eve
ning's meeting is the question of
purchasing a city service motor lad
der truck for the City Fire depart
ment. Speaking of this matter yes
terday, Chief Roy Small of the Fire
department pointed out that the
present truck has been in existence
70 years and that the ladders in the
equipment are now unsafe. There
are II ladders. the longest of which
is As feet Chief Small stated that
the youngest of the horses is now IL
years old and that it is a crime to
make the horses of that age pound
over the Augusta streets to the fires.
That there are many fires where
it is necessary to have the ladders
with not a minutes delay. Chief
Small pointed out This, of course,
is possible only by motor trucks In
the event Of a possible fire at City
hall with crowd of people in the
building, without the ladders on the
spot instantly it would be necessary
to carry the lines of hose up the
stairway. With the crowd coming
down the stairs blocked by the line
Of hose, it is very easy to imagine
panic condition. In any fire on Wa
ter street the chances are that lad
ders would be needed instantly.
In view of the fact that the present
ladder equipment is old and unsafe
and must necessarily be replaced
Chief Small advises the purchase of
city service truck. The equipment
of a truck of this type consists Of 325
feet of ladders. The longest is s.
feet, the next so feet and the third,
40 feet. So there are two sizes larg-
er than in the present ladder equip
ment of the Augusta department. In
cluded in the motor truck equipment
are 700 feet of two and one half inch
hose, one 40 gallon chemical tank.
200 feet of chemical hose, chemical
apparatus, axes, crowbars. etc. The
cost of one of these trucks is about
$4,000.
