New Firehouse (Continued from Page One' Most pleasing aspect, to the taxpayer, of the construction is that it can be done, according to present plans, at a fire district assessment rate equal to or .be low (except for one year) any rate paid over the past 15 years. The rate would be upped by about 19c to 23c per thousand dollars of assessed valuation, but that increase will be added to the 1951 rate of $1.53 per thousand, the lowest rate in two decades, and would make a total rate of about $1.75, considerably below ufcie 1950 rate of $2, about equal to the 1949 rate of $1.72 and well below the 1947 rate of $1.97. Even this rate may be cut, according, to Chairman of the Commission ers G. Edwin Rogers, if two new aseas ' presently being readied •far petition are added to the ffre district. The new areas are Law rence Farms and a section in the vicinity of Old Roaring Brook Road, and they would add more than a million dollars, it is es timated, to the Fire District's assessable valuation. The assess ment rate reached its low point this year because the District's 20-year term bonded indebted ness for the Senter Street Fire- house has been paid off. The special referendum on the $125,000 bond issue has been call ed for the hours of 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on October 15 at t the Senter Street Firehouse. Voicing will be by paper ballot and eligibility can be determined by an inspec tion of tax statements, since all voting-age resident property owners of the district may vote. Preliminary plans for the proj ected firehouse show a two-floor- plan building of brick facing, colonial Georgian in style, with cupola, approximately L shaped about 60 feet long by 26 feet plus a 5-foot hall across the front and 46 feet across the back. There will be a partial basement for location of heating equip ment. The main floor will house a double fire apparatus room and a meeting room for the Bristol Fire Company with kitchenette. The second floor has been laid out with a \community\ room seating 178, suitable for many kinds of organizational affairs and activities, with a fully equip ped kitchen and a Commission ers Board meeting room. The lot, about 150 by 180, will provide 25 or more parking spaces and will be landscaped.. Architect for preliminary plans and estimates was Theodore Richards of White Plains who specializes in firehouse construc tion and has planned firehouses in Hawthorne, White Plains, Ar- monk, E'astchester and else where. The building cost alone has been estimated at about $92,- 000; additional costs for fees, landscaping, furnishing, etc., may bring this cost to about $120,000. In the event of approval of the bond issue at the October refer endum, plans will not be com pleted and left for bids until about Feb. 1952 according to the Commissioners. Though the bond issue asked will be $125,000, the Commissioners plan a bond issue total only sufficient to cover the final costs. In addition to Mr. Rogers, Fire Commissioners are J. J. Harri- gan, Louis Kopp, Charles Dedde and Harry Borner. Clarence Deering is treasurer to the Com missioners and C. A. England Jr. is secretary. ^ Corner 8^ .55*' *\\•<\ ..ut _ , onkers Av*. exit. «.
