WILL NOT REBUILD HERE
Humberstone News
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
T.E. Reeb & Sons will not rebuild their burned machine shop and foundry in Humberstone. They will build in Port Colborne, however, if the village will grant certain concessions. One of the chief inducements to move to Port Colborne was to secure fire protection. Had Port Colborne and Humberstone united and the waterworks been extended to this place, there is no doubt they would have remained here. If it is supposed that the proposed village will install a waterworks plant, it will be found a surprisingly expensive undertaking, while the only cost of joining with Port’s system would be for piping, saving the cost of pumping plant, stand pipe and running expenses. The only logical and business proposition is a union of the two municipalities.
