pany of Smyrna, has received the final
blue prints of the new fire hall from
the architects which have been accept
ed by the Building Committee. Bids
have been asked for and will beiOpen-
ed Friday of next week November
the 28th. As soon as the contract is
awarded to the successful bidder it is
the desire of said Building Committee
to have work started at once and
pushed as fast as weather conditions
will permit. The ground of the old
Mcdowell furniture store site has
been cleared and the two trees in
front have been cut down and are be-
ing hauled away this week. The new
plans contain many decided improve
ments over the plans for remodeling
the old Hill property, originally con-
templated. The structure will be two
and a half story brick, built from the
ground up and will have more symet-
rical lines, a prettier bellfry, larger
rooms and better quarters in every
way. The bellfry will be open from
the basement to the top and will con-
taintain an arrangement for hosting
and draining and drying hose, an in
nOvatiOn now found in modern fire
halls, which is said to add years to
the life Of costly rubber hose. There
will be ample recreation rooms,
amusement quarters, committee rooms,
lockers, shower bathes, lavatories, &c.
with sleeping quarters and kitchen
cite for caretaker if ever needed.
The fire apparatus will be on the
street floor, with entrance and exit by
three large doors.
