FIRE HALL SITE FOR WEST SIDE

Alderman Brittin and Dawdy Secured Permission From Government

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 21 April 1921]

During their recent trip to Ottawa on the deputation for Hydro, Aldermen Brittin and Dawdy took advantage of the occasion to try to secure permission from the Government to lease the property on the west side of the canal, to enable them to enlarge the present west side Fire Hall, to make it possible to accommodate the team which is at present stationed on Cross Street, in the old Fire Hall.

The permission for the lease was in the city just twenty-four hours after the request was made to the authority.

The building will probably be enlarged at once and the horses and wagon be removed to this fine position across the canal where they will not be interfered with in case of fire by passing boats, when the bridge is swung.
