 Plans for the new 1irehouse to bt erected on the site at the corner Of Pennington avenue and Lewis streets, which was recently acquired by the city from the Sessions Foun- dry Co.

 IL has been pointed out by city officials, and particularly members Of the fire board. that the Nor.h Main street house is poorly located It is close to the corner of North street where there is always q con- siderable amount of traffic and on many occasions equipment has been delayed in getting to fires in the northern, eastern and western sec tons Of the city. The new site at the corner of Lewis street and Farm lnsion avenue is so located that more adequate protection will be af- iordel the north side. the Federal Hill section and the newly developed tracts or Pennington avenue.
 Definite plans will bc available when the board of fire commission CTS meet T little later in the month,
