THE TOWN SAFE
[Welland Tribune, 14 November 1884]
THE TOWN SAFE- Our council have purchased of Graham & Co. the large safe belonging to the R. Balfour estate for the safe keeping of the town records and documents. This safe went through the great fire at Port Colborne, preserving its contents safely, in which it was put in as good shape as new and guaranteed. It weighs nearly three tons and was purchased at the ridiculously low price of $100 as its former owners, having closed up business at Port, had no further use for it, and did not wish to incur the expense of removal.
THE old fire hall is being repaired at a cost of about $400. This will fit up the lower storey so that the water in the boiler may be kept from freezing during the winter, but does not include the erection of a hose tower or the finishing of the second flat. The Council will probably continue to accept Messrs. Beamer & Sullivan’s hospitality during the winter.
