Expressions of opinion from b

better water pressure.

Councilman Charles F. Mills. presi-
dent of the Board of Councilmen.
fold to a Sentinel reporter this morn-
ng:

“tou'can’t blame. the Council. You
yourself know how I fought to get the
appropriation for both pumping eu-
gines through. and also for better
equipment. It was no use. however.
The money would not be granted by
the Board 0: Estimate."

Below' are given the various opin-
ions as gathered by the Evening :en-
tinel today:

‘ Cell special Meeting

“I am in favor of calling a special
meeting or the Board of Estimate and
Taxation for the purpose at consid-
ering the needs of further equipment
for the Nor-walk Fire Dcputmen 9.
said Councflinan’
when interviewed on this‘snbiect. ”i

 

 

central fire station located on West
Avenue. near the 3:
{gm sub «seabirds
in the First, Second ind Third dis-
trials. The chemicals could, respond
to first slam; “the centre} sitibn to
second alarms. In that way, the ‘en-
tire city would be amply protected."
“There is no questiob,‘
Norwaik will need another pumper in
addition to the one ordered. It needs
an aerial. laddér. lire net. new boss.
warm‘winterTclothing'-' for the men.’
particularly“ in“ the line of mittens and
ear-laps; it needs smoke masks."
5 "The Hope Hose: truck should be
stripped of its equipment: taken to a
dock and dumped overboard. If this
machine is kept in use for the next
five years. it will cost the City of.
Norv‘valk enough money to replace the
machine with a. modern chemical
truck. This piece of fire apparatus
breaks down every time it responds
to a. fire. It. was only today I saw, tho
truck out and it could hardly make
the slight gradé on Wall Street."
Meets Insurance . .
“Fire insurance is based upon fire
protectibn. Better equipment means
better‘ rates. Nor-walk has always
been behind times when it comes to
fire equipment and it is time that it
went ahead‘
"Water pressure in the city is not
what it should be and the four-inch
water hydrants should all be replaced
with largEr hydrants."- \
In addition to being a member of
the Common Council, Mr. Kecler ,ls‘
engaged in the real estate and insur-
ance business. He is particularly inter:-
ested in fire protection. '
a John T. Hayes. another .well known
insurance man real estate dealer, took
the same standpoint ss‘nr. Keener.
“Three things goto make “up a. city.’.-
said Mr. Hayes, “It's schools; churches
and fire protection. These are the
things that new-comers investigate
before settling in any city. Norwaik
is a. growing city; it should so: that on
-three are up to high standard!“
“Proper equipment will mean a vast

 

lucky that thene hasn’t been serious
:fires in the past. I certainly am in
favor of calling the Board of Estirn
Tate and. Taxation together with s.- View
of providing further fire equipment. I
am more than willing to pay my share
of the slight increase in taxation that
these improvements will mom”

Prominent », Citizens

 

City Council, and from leading insurance men of the city, gathered
by the Evening Sentinel today, show that the general trend of
thought is for an immediate improvement of the city’s fire apparatus; .,
a central fire station, better equipment for the men; better hose; and

Councilman Samuel J. Keeler, who is also an insurance agent,
gave an interview to the Sentinel that is especially pertinent, coming

as it does from one or the “city fathers.”

4 tip To Mayor

Herbert O. Pollard. well-known
real estate and insurance agent. ex-
pressed the opinion that the time5- to

ern standard. was now. He seem
that stays:- CXIVil‘ L. Barton about;
call the Board of Estlnmce‘ assi-
together for a. sped!“ 5 5‘
5st which the needs or the Fire 1309'. '
partment could be taken up at. length.
. "We need a. drying station for hose;
we need a. pamper ..tor the First Din:-
trlct; we need smbke and gas marine.
,Warm clothing for the volunteer fire-
men: an aerial ladder; a life net and
a. hundred other things." said Mr. -
Pollard. ‘
~ "I don‘t think that this equipment
will materially reduce the insurance
rates at the present time. but it. will
prevent further catastrophes like the
Clifford fire.5 As the result 0! the
condition of the. Fire Department to.
gether with the lack of water pres-,
sure. Norwalk comes under Class C
of the‘insursnce rates. This means. 55‘
that Norwalk is paying ten per cent.
men for its fire insurance than W—
port, Bridgeport. Danbury and other
nearby cities." 5
. Mr. McLean’s View _
William 0. McLean, of William 0.
McLean. Inc., when asked what he V
thought should be done by the city to .
prevent further conflagrations mid
what improvements were needed,
said '
As a. money saving proposition for
the people of Nor-walk, it would pay
them well to bring the fire apparatus
and the Fire Department in general
p to the standard of. the City of
Stamford. Thousands of dollars more
yearly are paid to the insurance
companies by Norwalk people. due to
the fact that Nor-walk is.a. class “C"
town and Stamford is a. class "3"
town.
A. rough estimate of four thousand
dwellings in the City of Norwulk
means a value or sixteen million dol- ,
lars. based on an average value per
dwelling of four thousand dollars, and
of course. four thousand dollars is not
3 radical esfimate by any means of..
the average value of a dwelling. .
This property in Stamford would. .
cost the people of Stamford for iii--
sumnce $8.000 less for a .three-yeut
policy.
Carrying this out to its logical
conclusion on other property, t
people 0: Nor-walk can get some ides
as to what it is cowng than: for
their failure to have the very be“
possible fire equipment.
Money spent: intelligently on ii
fighting improvement is money we}!
spent and returns to the pockets of
the- taxpayers, showing a. nice profit.
