Waldo F. H, Peart, a. well known 
Manchester young man, today joins 
The Breeze force in the capacity of 
reporter and general assistant to the 
editor. 
Is not the time now ripe for Man- 
chester to improve and add to its 
fire house facilities? Several weeks 
ago we pointed out the cramped con- 
dition of the present quarters and 
advocated the expediency of making 
an addition to the present house, or 
building a new station, large enough 
to hold at least part of the apparat- 
us. 
The great catastrophe in the town 
of Hamilton, adjoining Manchester, 
ought to be a good lesson for us— 
that too much attention cannot be 
paid to our fire-fighting facilities. 
We have splendid equipment, and a 
new auto combination truck is soon 
to arrive for Manchester, but at the 
present time there is no place to put 
it when it arrives. It is proposed 
to do away with the horses and tear

out the stalls occupying the center 
of the station, thus making room for 
the new apparatus. 
But in some quarters the expedi- 
ency of doing away with the horses 
entirely is doubted. 
Even if the stalls were ripped out 
the station is still crowded. It is 
a question, in any way of looking 
at it, if the quarters ought not to be 
enlarged. 
It appears that there is no means 
of getting around to the rear of the 
engine house, except by driving over 
private land, for which privilege the 
town is paying $20.00 a year. This 
driveway is between the engine 
house and the property recently pur- 
chased from F. B. Rust by M. J. 
Callahan. The old building next to 
the engine house, occupied for so 
many years as a store, with tene- 
ment above, has been taken down, 
preparatory to the construction of a 
brick block. 
We believe the town of Manches- 
ter will make a mistake if it allows 
the opportunity to slip by of pur- 
chasing the whole or part of this 
property. 
Here are the conditions: The town 
owns an engine house, with no means 
of access to the rear of the building. 
It needs larger quarters for its fire 
equipment, and it is fair to assume 
that inasmuch as the town is grow- 
ing, further improvements will have 
to be made in years to come any- 
way. The property adjoining has 
recently been bought at a bankrupt 
sale and the purchaser has torn down 
the old building and is preparing to 
build a brick block, so that in the 
future the prospects of enlarging the 
engine house from this side will be 
impracticable. 
We urge that the town take some 
action at the adjourned town meet- 
ing next Monday evening toward the 
purchase of the whole or a part of 
this property in anticipation of pres- 
ent needs for its fire station. The 
fire station property ought to be en- 
larged, and if it is not to be used 
immediately, it will be possible to

use it when it is needed at some fu- 
ture time. 
The town needs some room near

town hall, that does not belong 
there. And when Manchester has 
her new town hall (?) it ought to

will be built, not for storing shovels, 
pick-axes and the like. 
Therefore, we say, the town needs — 
some additional room. The purchase 
of this property would make a splen- —

And then again! 
People are con-— 
tinually talking about the police — 
station, and the fact that it occupies 
an imposing position on one side of 
the town common. Should the town 
buy this property and see fit to put 
up a building, what better place 
would there be in the center of the 
town for a policé station than this? 
An addition could be built to the e 4

This is pot —

many reasons why the two ought to

definite action could be taken. 
We have no doubt that the owner 
of the property in question would be — 
more than willing to concede to the — 
town, and that he would sell: this 
property at a low figure, and he 
would hold off his plan to put up a.
