b BARNESDALE FOLK HEAR FIRE ADDRESS Butler Advises Them to Demand Station Residents of Barnesdale were ad- vised by Chalrman James J. Butler of the board of fire commissioners last evening to rouse themselves and demand that the common council build a new fire station in the west- ern mection of the city at once. The | address was made at the eighth an- nual banquet of the Barnesdale Community soclety, at presentation of a plot of ground for | a community house, was made by Rev. Dr. J. E. Klingberg. Mr. Butler was accompanied by Harry A. Beckwith, also a fire com- missioner, and Frank W. Riley, sew- er department foreman. The banquet was held in the Quartette club house. Fred W. Radil the new president, was toastmaster. Decorations were significant of 8t. Patrick’s day, in green and white. A large birthday cake was made by Mrs. Patrick Ringrose. Green and white icing was made by Mrs. August Johnson. The decorations on the cake were in the form of a large shamrock with the words “Eighth anniversary” in an ornamental cir- cular border. Decorations were by Lawrence C. Edwardson. The dinner was home cooked and was served by the women of the community. There were about 100 people present. . In his address Mr. Butler called attention to, the fact that the Na- tional Board of Fire Underwriters and the local board of fire commis- sioners were in accord in recom- mending a fire station in the Barnesdale or western section of the city. The underwriters have actually recommended that a fire station be built in the western section of the city to serve Barnesdale, he explain- ed. Mr. Butler told the Barnesdale people how the No. 8 fire station bad been recommended to the com- mon council and had been rejected because of the fear of a slight in- crease in taxes, although he said the station could be bullt without cost- ing the city a nickel this year and only one twelfth of a mill increase in taxes for the next five years. asy fo SPPY A S which time | He explained how an act of legis- lature makes it possible to erect such a station on the deferred pay- ment plan, whereby the cost would be spread over a period of five years. adding one twelfth of a mill to the taxes for that period. The commissioner referred to the days when New Britain had two taxation districts. He pointed out that Barnesdale people and people in other outlying sections who were in the low rate district had allow- ed themselves to be taxed the higher rate. “Now you are paying the same rate as the rest of the city and are not getting the advantage of it.”" he added. “You are not getting the | good roads, fire protection, police | protection or other advantages which you have a right to expect under a full taxation system." “Now after eight years you are in |the same position you were before, |except that you are paying higher taxes and not getting any more for |them,” he added. “If the Barnesdale residents (arouse themselves and demand fire | protection,” the commissioner de- |clared, they might get a fire station this year. “A fire station in the western section of the city would be of bene- fit to people in the first, third and fifth wards, and it is up to you peo- ;ple to get the councilmen of these wards to do their duty and vote for | the protection you need,” he sald in { conclusion. | Mr. Butler was asked by Patrick | | Ringrose if it were not true that the | city now.owns an adequate site near |the junction of Russwin road and | West Main street, which would be 'suitable for a fire station. The |commissioner said he understood that such was the case, and added {that if a fire station in the west end is voted the commissioners will in- | vestigate the ssite designated. Calling attention to the fact that \25 years ago when he came to this city, Barnesdale was nothing but a | wilderness and a farm, Dr. Kling- | berg complimented the residents | there upon the growth o} their com- munity in the quarter century. He called attention to the healthful en- | | vironment and said it was an ideal |place in which to live, away from the dust and traffic of the city. He said it is a perfect place to raise | children, calling attention to the woods, the trces and the birds, brooks and frogs in the streams | nearby. He paid a tribute to the late Charles L. Barnes from whom he rented the first house for a children's ih-omn‘ a property on Ozone Heights which he paid for at the rate of $10 |a month. | He told the story of his discovery {of a large flat rock in the woods on | what now is May street. This rock, |surmounted by a gigantic cedar |tree, he sald was the place he often |sought out for rest, prayer and meditation. The plot upon which it stands eventually was given him as a gift by Mr. Barnes upon which to erect a Sunday school or-some {other community building. He pre- sented the deed to Mr. Radil as his gift to the Community assoclation | for the erection of a community My o e o st o e e house and advised thé residents to begin work at once erecting a build- ing thereon. ' E. A. Dechant was named chair- man of & committee with Patrick |Ringrose and Past President Emil H. R. Vogel to draw up suitable resolutions of thanks to Dr. Kig- berg. ‘Two solos by James Ringrose and {two readings by Julie Edwardson composed the balanec of the pro- |gram. Both were in keeping with a St. Patrick's day program.
