IT’S N01” WANTED
Battle Over Who Will
Pay For Repairs in
1st Dist. Fire House
Is Still On
The year old battle as to who shall
pay for the repairs and alterations
to the roof of the Main street fire-
house is likely to be resumed when
the Board of Estimate and Taxation
considers the budgets for 1924-1925.
This is indicated by the budget of
the First Taxing District which in-
cludes an item of 8975 for rental of
the fire department building. Last
year the Board of Estimate and Tax-
ation suggested that the rental be in-
creased about $50 a year to take
care of the proposed repairs.
At the last sessions of the Board.
it was brought out that the roof of
the Main street lire house was at
such a pitch that the rain instead of
running off, leaked through the roof.
It was brought out that the cost of
re-pitching the roof would be a few
hundred dollars. The City of Nor-
walk rents the fire quarters from the
First Taxing District. The Board of
Estimate thought that the district
should make these repairs and then
increase the annual rental to cover
the repairs. This the district re-
fused to do. stating that the lease
between the district and city called
for the latte! to make all repairs.
The Board of Estimate, however,
while admitting this was true, de-
clared that the changing of the roof
’WII not a repair. but an alteration
to the building.
Nothing was ever acne in the mat-
ter during the past twelve months.
Temporary repairs were made to the
roof of the firehouse, it is said,
which partially stopped the rain
from leaking through. Thee roof.
however, fire authoritiee “Y. still
leaks and will continue to do to un-
til the pitch is changed.
From the fact. that the First Tax-
ing District has not incrcInedthe
item for rental of the firehouse. it is
evident that the district has not
changed its attitude in the matter
and still feels that the city should
pay for the proposed alteration.
