a
fall within the 3/4 mile radius of the minor mercantile district of 187
north Main Street, and north and east o: the railroad tracks to
provide the protection for the east -side.
' r•
21. The site, ;should be of adequate size to pr- ovide. for a sery ice yard
and an area for the: training 'of the firemen and located close to
=
the large, water main on East Washington Street
3. -The 1 .should• be `located in close proximity to one of the major
str_'e but not directly on_the .major street, to. ,proVi an oppor
tunity for autorcobile traffic to clear the route of the fire equip -
4. The° site: chosen, should not occupy an area. to t-he detriment of future
develovmenta in the community; should be readily available for the
commencement of construction of the, structure, 'and' be so situated that
the ,equipment responding to. alarms would. not, constit�ite too great a.
hweArd to- persons on''or about the streets..
5. The sit selected 'should . h "e within a reasonable ;cost and 'a: ?r_i*iui�

The following, sites were. considered.
Kenilworth Park - rej'ected'becai,ise of falling ,outs:ide of :3 /4 mile

(d) A portion of the Silva urooerty (a,ssessbtIs p arcel No. 7 0 =35);
Easing on Edith .Street constituting the °nortbwe�terly - 75 feet of the
parcel extending 'across the rear of the ;parcel• to 'the c?ty.t

This property .adequately ful'.fills all the criteria for th.e :sa: e,. At`
the present time the property :is''occ.i1pied. by an. old - barn,,; not being

The Board of `sire. Underwriters has indicated, the deed f`or a: and

sufficiently removed from East Washington Street to pro�ri.d:e adeguate
