New Fire Station Plans Trimmed to $10,000 Limit
City council special committee rewrite plans for a new fire station at Arizona and Mercury to fit a $10,000 cap. Bids last fall exceeded the limit, prompting a pared down design with no terra cotta ornament, lower heights, and a hay loft to save costs. The reform aims at reorganizing the department including a second station on Quarta street and eventual abandonment of city hall as a fire station, with police hall improvements later. Edward H Whityates sues Jessie for divorce after desertion on Feb 4 1896, following their marriage on Oct 18 1893.
