Permission to raze the buildings has been granted the department by the owners, who are Charles Yeager, Arlan P. Francis, Thomas A. an- cis, the estate of John §. Kirkham, John R. Stoddard and the Newton Osborne estate. According to the history which is related about the stables, the build- ing were erected on the church property and ownership was trans- |ferred to the church members who submitted the highest bid for them. Although the stables have still been used by a very few who drive to church by horse, automobiles have been housed under their roofs for the most part of late, The buildings were damaged considerably by fire | several weeks ago, and it is believ- ed that this has prompted their re- moval. Fire Department Meeting At the meeting of the Newington Volunteer fire dcpartment a report | was submitted by Chairman William Holt of the bullding committee to the effect that although First Select. man James C. Gilbert has written to the Wilbur Land Co. of Boston in regard to the deeding of the 25 foot strip of land in the rear of the de- partment’s site on Main street to the town, he has not as yet received the deed. It was reported that Ernest Sheldon, E. O. Crawford and Reu- ben Rosenblatt, who, in addition to the fire department, own property adfoining the strip, have agreed to waive any rights they might have to the strip in exchange for the decd- ing of a small piece of land to each one, to the depth of the street car tracks. On the strengthing of the report, it was vowd to increase the dimensions of the proposed building |from 28 by 36 to 28 by 40 feet and {to proceed with the preparations so as to begin construction as soon as possible, The matter of having a eontrol |switch for the fire siren installed in | the office of the valley branch of the Southern New England Telephone | Co.
