more important intersections with

Alexandra Council
10 Vote tuesday on
.Sife for Fire House

The Alexandria City Council will
vote Tuesday night on approving a
fire station site which would make
it necessary for an engine answer
ing any call to 60 through Park
fairfax.
Difficulty in selecting a site for
the new station to serve the north
west section of the city developed
when members of the Trinity Meth
odist Church and of the George
Mason School PTA objected to a
Cameron Mills road site. A meeting
of the council, the Planning Com
mission, the fire chief and repre-
sentative of the National Fire Un-
derwriters was held last week to find
another site.
The site selected is on Valley
drive, abutting ParkfairfaX, ana SO
situated that it is surrounded by un-
finished streets. AS long as an BOO
foot portion of Valley drive remains
unconstructed, the fire engines
would have to go through Parkfair-
fax in answering any calls. Fire
Chief James M. Duncan, jr, said
this situation also would increase the
time required to answer calls.
The only other site considered
since the original one on Cameron
Mills road was abandoned is one at
Windsor avenue and Braddock road,
and the owner of that property re-
fused to sell the size tract the city
wanted.
Dangers Cited.
Gardner L. Boothe, attorney for
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
owner of ParkfairfaX, pointed out
that streets in the development are
curved to enhance its beauty and
large numbers of small children live
in the area. Both factors would tend
to create dangerous situation if
engines were constantly passing
through the development, he said.
He added that if the Parkfairfax
notifies the Metro
politan Co. in New York of the pro-
posal to put the fire station on
uous objections will be lodged
Mr. Duncan said the National
Board of Fire Underwriters had
made two surveys of the city and
had on both occasions recommended
the original site on Cameron Mills
road as the one which would enable
the best fire protection for the area.
He said insurance rates are based
on a system of dement's given by
the national board, and that one of
the points taken into consideration
is the location Of fire stations. If,
he added, Alexandria places sta
ton against the advice of the un-
derwriters, it is reasonable to as
sumo that insurance rates for the
city will be increased.
Duncan Defends Plan.
Commenting on the objections
raised to the Cameron Mills road
site, DR.. Duncan said the proposed
house would have been located 800
feet from the Trinity Church and
two blocks from the George Ma
son School. A survey indicates that
in IT months there has never been
fire during the time when church
services are conducted. He also
commented that the second floor of
No. 2 Fire House is used for church
services on Sunday mornings.
AS for danger to school children,
DR.. Duncan pointed out that even
in another location, the fire en-
gines would have to pass the George
Mason School in answering most of
their calls, but that they would be
under full speed instead of just
emerging from the station.
