NORTH SIDERS,
Says vOSHELL
Report to Mayor Points Out
Need for Establishing
New Battalion.
ASKS FOR NINE HOUSES
Brands Present Buildings
Old, Inadequate; Urges
More Trucks.

Establishment of an additional
battalion or district on the north
side was recommended today by Fire
Chief Harry E. Voshel.
Voshells report to Mayor L. Ert
Slack pointed out the need for the
additional unit because Of the north
side growth. Fire fighting efficiency
would be increased, Voshell said.
The recommendation is in accord
ance with the views Of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
Council Visits Stations
Departmental needs were set out
in the report which was turned over
to the new city councilmen. Coun-
cilmen toured engine houses and
police headquarters with Safety
Board Members Fred w. Council,
Ira Haymaker and Robert Miller
Thursday with the view of familiar
izing the revamped council with the
safety boards problems.
Voshell recommended sale of En-
CINE Houses l, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 16 and
replacement Of the ancient" struc-
lures with modern buildings suited
to the departments demands.
Some of the houses are larger
than the department requires and
are not adapted to their present
uses. Several of them have been in
service for f1fty-flve or sixty years, -
VoShell declared.
Would Require Bond Issue
Special bond issue would be re-
quired to build new houses. 1t is
unlikely that the council will at
tempt immediate permanent relief
for the department but it is proba-
BILE that an ordinance covering costs
of painting, roofing and repairing
several houses will be presented
council by the safety board.
Majority of the engine houses
need repairing, and remodeling,
Voshell declared.
Purchase of sites for new houses
at Forty-SiXth and Illinois Sts., and
Garfield Ave. and Tenth ST.. was
suggested in the chiefs report.
Voshell also asked replacement Of
Engine Houses "a and 25 with the
new No. "a Engine House at Indiana
Ave. and Montcalm st. No site was
proposed for No. 25.
Heating Plants Needed
Heating plants are needed in prac-
tically all fire stations, the present
stoves being in violation of a city
ordinance.
Voshell asked a site for re-estab-
lishment of the fire drill tower. The
tower formerly was located on the
municipal garage site.
Purchase of three bumpers and
two trucks as reserve equipment in
accordance with National Board of
Fire Underwriters recommendations
and replacement of other obsolete
equipment was proposed to the
mayor
Extra Cars. Trucks Asked
Equipment asked by Voshell to
put the department in good condi-
ton: three squad cars for north
side; two new automobiles to replace
old cars which would be converted
into hose and emergency machines;
two bumpers and three trucks for
four new stations; two new road
sters for battalion chiefs; two autos
for drill instructor and investigator;
truck for carpenter department
