PUBIIC TO INSPECT | BRISTOL FIREHOUSE Station Ready lor Visit From Taxpayers Monday Night (Special to the Herald) Bristol, Dec. 7 — The new fire- house at the corner of Farmington avenue and Lewis street, which has been in the process of construction ! since last June, is now completed and will be thrown open for public inspection next Monday evening be- ! tween the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock SiX men, to be appointed by the board of fire cornmissioners, will be stationed in the new house, three on | each shift. A new LaFrance pump- er, purchased several months ago by the city, and which has been stored at the central fire station, will be transferred to the Farmington ave- nue station just as soon as the ap- pointments are made. The new building is of the type known as the neighborhood house, planned in the form of a T. The cellar will be used for the storage and drying of hose, while on the first floor there is room for two pleces of fire apparatus although but one will be placed there at the present time. There is also a small recrea- tion room in the eastern ell of the building. On the second floor there is a dor- mitory for the men and a captain’s room, in addition to a lavatory and a storage room. The exterior of the building is of water struck brick and the roof is a mottled purple and green slate. The interior walls are THE FINEST GIFT of soft glazed brick wainscot, thea plastered and sand finished. An oll burner has been installed for heat- ing purposes. It was originally planned to open the building on one evening for the formal inspection of city officials and invited guests but this plan was discarded following a recent meet- ing of the board of fire commission- ers. Mayor W. Raymond Crumb, Fire Commissioner S8amuel Thorpe and Chief John H. Hayes were named a committee to make ar- rangements for the opening night. Neighbors Furnish Radio A short time after the contrant for the mew building was awarded, persons residing in the vicinity of the new firehouse were so pleased with the additional fire protection afforded them that they requested permission of Chief John H. Hayes | to install a radio set for the use of the firemen. The necessary permis- sion was granted and it is under- stood that the set will be installed within the next week. ‘Wil Protect Laree Area With the opening of the new fire | station, additional protection will be furnished not onlv the hill section of the citv but also the ranidlv growing Aistricts on Farmington and Jerome avenues.
