Discuss Plan With Hall ““The members of this commission have bheen in conference with Chair- man Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation and have dis- cussed with him application of the deferred payment principle to the construction of the proposed Station 8. It was his suggestion that the plan be outlined to your honorable - FTER the charth of ears; after the grace and your body, in detail, for the purpose of having it veferred to the hoard of fingnce and taxation which, in turn, will repert back at a later mesting of she common council. “Station 7, the newest house in the city, was constructed at a cast of $55,000, this amount including $5.- 000 for a drill tower, a structure which will not be needed in connec- tion with the proposed new house. “Under the deferred payment statute, the ceat is extended over a period of five years. It is the belief of the fire board that Station ¥ ean be duplieated, fully equipped for $50,000, thia including land, build- ng. anuuuu and equipment for the house and for the machine. The cost would therefore be $10,000 & yeur for each of fivé years, or less | than one-eleventh of one mill a year on the present grand list. Does Not Include Cost of Crew “This does not inclyde the cost of manning the station, an amount which must be added as a fixed charge againet this fire fighting unit next year. The cost of twe shifts of four men each, including a ca |and a lieutenant will be §14, so that the firat payment, to be mads next year, and the four succesding payments during the period over which the cost of construction is spread, will be the equivalent of about two-elevenths of one mill n year. After the house has been paid for, the cost automatically drops back to about one-half this amount, “The time required for the prep- aration and revision of plans, awarding of contracts, actual con- {stiuctign and procuring of -pnrnu- will bring us close to the end of the current flscal year, a0 that the ques- tion of man-power does not enter into discussion until April 1, 1930, ‘The need for a fire station in this rict has been stressed by the N |tional Board of Fire Underwriters as cne which demands immediate con- |sideration, The problem of finance has delayed favorable action on the ,Dnrr of the board of finance and {taxrtion, but we feel that the de- |ferred payment plan offers the beat |solution to this problem. “The fire board therefore respect- fully requesta that this report, with |its recommendations be forwarded rhy the common council to the board lot finance and taxation for further hearing and for recommendation to your honorable body. “Reapectfully submitted, {“The Board of Fire Commissioners. nes J.
