West Siders Delay Hose House Decision on Site
George Staubach of the board of public works says the city will not locate a hose house west of the river until West Richmond and Fairview residents decide its site. Opposition exists west of the river, with some preferring a park. others favor West Fifth street or Northwest Second street for access. A meeting with West Side Improvement association and Fairview Civic league may form a consensus. The city may need a tax plan to fund the project, while the fire department sees limited progress beyond converting a hose cart to a combination wagon.
