City to Start Fire Substation at 454 Richland Ave Next Year
Mayor Raymond Shepard expects construction of the City fire department substation at 454 Richland Ave to begin in 1967 with council to consider architect plans soon. An ordinance will fund an aerial ladder truck and a pumper, to be manned around the clock. Chief Charles Dalton notes one or two trucks will be housed there, and a house on the site will be razed. The pumper may be bought next year, while the ladder truck would be ordered in 1968 with about 14 months for custom build.
