For several weeks we have been agi- 
tating in the Breeze, the purchase of an 
auto truck for the Manchester fire de- 
partment. If the town is to be equipped 
with the best apparatus for protecting the 
valuable property along the shore, at the 
extreme ends of the town, as well as the 
more central section, it must make some 
other arrangement than it now has. The 
auto fire truck is the most up-to-date 
equipment to bring this about. 
- The question arises, however, if such 
a piece of apparatns is to be purchased, 
or if any additional apparatus is pur- 
chased, where such will be put. The 
fire station at the present time is over- 
crowded. ‘Though the station was large 
enough at the time it was built to store all 
the apparatus the town then owned, yet 
ithas been for the last four or five years 
greatly over-crowded. ‘This is true es- 
pecially since the stalls for the fire horses 
were putin some years ago. 
The writer paid a visit to the fire sta- 
tion the last week for the purpose of see- 
ing the actual condition. Over to the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
extreme right of the building is the long 
ladder truck and in front of that close up 
to the door is the hose wagon. On the 
extreme left nearest the door is the hose 
reel, then the chemical wagon, and in 
the rear of this the fire engine. In the 
centre in front of the stalls is the pung 
which is used when the ground is covered 
with snow, in preference to the hose 
wagon. 
In case of fire and before the steamer 
or the ladder truck can be moved from 
the building great delay is caused by hav- 
ing to move the other apparatus by twist- 
ing and in some cases taking it from the 
building in order to Jet these out. The 
‘ long ladder truck has to be taken out of 
the central door because it is almost im- 
possible to take it from the side door 
without smashing something. If any 
addition is to be made to the apparatus, 
there will be great need of additional 
room. 
There has been some agitation in the 
past looking toward the purchase of the 
property adjoining the fire station, owned 
by F. B. Rust. The town at the pres- 
ent time pays to Mr. Rust an annual fee 
for the right to use the driveway leading 
to the rear of the fire station. The 
property is at the present time in the 
hands of a receiver and in all probability 
could be bought ata much smaller fig- 
ure than at any time in the past or in the 
future. Perhaps herein lies the possi- 
bility of enlarging the fire station. 
It has been suggested, too, that the 
town property on Brook street, where 
was formerly located the old pound, 
would be a most suitable location for a 
new building to be used in connection 
with the present fire station for keeping 
part of the apparatus, —the new fire truck, 
if one is to be purchased. Brook street 
is probably more accessible to all parts of 
the town, than any other street: for in- 
stance for Summer street, Forest street, 
and the valuable property along the Cove 
and Coolidge’s point. 
Would a brick building of neat design 
at that point be the most feasible means 
of giving additional room for the fire de- 
partment? 
It has been suggested, too, that in case 
the town decides to have a landscape 
architect lay out the common and im-

prove the central part of the town, now 
that the old Franklin building is gone, 
one of the first things he would recom- 
mend would be the removal of the police 
station from its present imposing location 
on one side of the common. It cannot 
be contended that the town common is 
the most suitable place for a police sta- 
tion. This was brought out on several 
occasions last summer when the square 
was crowded with people out for the 
band concerts, and when several arrests 
were made before the people and the 
prisoners taken into the station and 
locked up. 
It might be expedient to think of 
erecting a building part of which could 
be used for a police station and part for 
the additional fire apparatus.
