Automobile Fire Truck for Manchester. 
An automobile fire truck came down 
to Manchester Monday and was given a 
test for the benefit of the officers of the 
town and the fire engineers. “The auto 
was on its way to Hamilton to be in- 
spected by the officials there, and at 
Salem it was seen by Selectman George 
Lockhart Allen, who suggested that it 
make a side trip to Manchester, and in 
the meanwhile he telephoned to Select- 
man Knicht and others to be on the 
lookout for it. 
These cars are being installed in city 
departments now more or less, and the 
town of Chicopee has just bought one. 
Springfield has a number of them. 
On its arrival at Manchester the car 
was met by Selectmen Knight and Bell 
vand Chief Hoare and Engineer Clarence 
* Morgan of the fire department and Town 
~ Treasurer Stanley, who afterwards rode 
on the car. An interesting group of 
citizens was also. on hand and looked 
over the machine. 
It was a combination chemical engine 
and hose wagon, and carried two 30-gal- 
lon tanks and 200 feet of chemical hose, 
two ladders and also has capacity for 
1000 feet of hylrant hose. It is 
equipped with a 40-h.p. motor and 
weighs 6500 pounds. The car is listed 
at $5500. It isa Knox make. 
The agent of the company took the 
above mentioned persons on a, test trip 
from the fire station, around Smith’s 
Point, and back again. The round trip 
was made in 14 minutes. The speed of 
the car is 30_miles an hour, which means 
that it could reach any house in town, 
except in the Coolidge Point section, in 
from two to five minutes. 
One of the chief essentials in case of 
fire, of course, is to get to the fire as 
quickly as possible. In a town like 
Manchester where there is only one set 
of fire apparatus it is difficult to. reach 
outlying sections quickly and as most of 
our valuable property, summer houses, 
etc., is in the ‘‘outlying districts,’’ so 
to speak, anything which would bring 
the fire apparatus to the scene of the fire 
quickly would be a great benefit. No 
one would dispute the usefulness of an 
auto in this connection. 
We understand that the fire com- 
missioners and the officials who saw the 
outfit were much impressed with it. 
While there is no intention at present, 
so far as we know, on the part of the 
officials to recommend the purchase of 
this up-to-date fire truck, it appears to 
us that Manchester ought not to be 
backward in applyirg itself to up-to-date 
methods and it would not be an unwise 
move to look into this particular matter 
before town meeting. It must be re- 
membered that the cost of running one 
of these trucks is practically nothing 
after the first cost, while the expense of

Two Directors of Proposed Sanitarium 
At Manchester This Noon. 
Two directors of the corporation just 
formed for starting a sanitarium at Man- 
chester, at the famous Masconomo 
House property, adjoining Singing Beach, 
were in Manchester this noon looking 
over the property. One of them was 
Dr. Riggs of St. Louis, and the other 
was Mr. Norman of Chicago. Mr. 
Lovejoy, the p; omoter of the proposition, 
accompanied them. ‘They came on the 
11.40 train and re:urned on the 12.43. 
Mr. Lovejoy told the Breeze man, 
who chanced to see him at the station, 
that the charter had been obtained, and 
work would be started soon on changes 
at the building toward turning it into 
proper condition for a sanitarium.
