MILFORD, FRIDAY, DEC. 4, 1925.

EARLY MONDAY EVENING
Truck No. l of the Carlisle Fire
Company pulled out of the old
quarters of the company on Wal
nut street and loaded with fire
men was driven to the new quarters
of the company in the Community
Building. Here it was housed with
out ceremonies beside the other
equipment of the company. Smaller
articles used by the firemen were
transferred Immediately thereafter.
Thus opened a new era of use
fulness for the local firemen, and
with it modern building facili-
ties for such a liVe-wire organiza-
tion. Without ceremony of any sort
but down to business as quickly as
possible, just as has been the prac-
tice of the members of the Carlisle
Fire Company, the men were ready
for any emergency one second after
the moving was over. They did
not have to wait long for their first
run from their new home, for on
Tuesday morning they were called
to the home Of colored man on
North Church Street to extinguish
a slight blaze.
The members of the Carlisle Fire
Company have worked hard for
about ten years to see their dreams
of a fine home for their equipment |
realized. During that time they i
have given Milford and the sur
rounding country service and fire
protection second to none anywhere.
They have responded nobly to all
calls for assistance from whatever
source. They have builded more
than an ordinary firehouse. Mod
ernly equipped auditoriums of am
pie size for years to come, properly
equipped with kitchens and facili-
ties for handling large conventions,
gymnasiums which the public
schools have already accepted for
their use, a public library, offices,
meeting rooms and a club room for
the members are only part of the ]
facilities for Community work,
which have been provided for the
citizens of Milford. The fire truck
room is the finest to be found in the
state; bar none. O
The building has been built sub
stantially of brick, steel and con- I
crete. 1t has been built we'll, but S
without those frills which added to "
the cost without providing efficiency G.
1t will stand for years as a monu- Il Z,
ment of those active members of the n
company who worked untiringly for Il
its erection. Milford, with the open 81
ing of the new building has the fin :
est community centre in the state. D
The Chronicle wishes to take this =.
method of congratulating Charles
e. Varney, President of the Com -
pany, and through him each and NJ
every member of the organization, 7
upon the accomplishment of their
worthily conceived and executed
project in
