It is estimated that the building would be 66 x 130 feet, and should be put up on- a lot about 100 s ISO feet to provide parking space. The cost bf the bnilding is estimated at- $40,000. The alleys, automatic pin spotters ahd other equipment to be installed would cost about $46,000. It is be lieved tlat $ 100,000 should he raised to finance the program.

Members and their families are all set for a gay celebration of this event which is a part of a eoast- to-coast chain of post celebrations. The Ainericaji Legion has 17,000 posts most of which' have made elaborate plahs for celebrating the organiza tion’s 1858 birthday. As a part of the nation-wide birth day. program, Liberty pciit is intensi fying its 1958 membership activity. ‘‘Every eligible war vetenun in Green wich is warmly invited to affiliate with the, American Legiom during its birthday week,” Comttiander Ralph Perkins said. “Every eligible veteran should inform himself on the advan tages of American Legio n member ship. It pays rich dividends in friend ships, in leadership training and in giving life a new zest through serv ice to others.” A There is every liklihood that the village of Greenwich would be de moted from class B to class C for fire insurance rates, if the people turn down the proposed improve ments in the water system. George Proper of the New York Fire In surance Rating organization told the village board Monday evening, “I would have no alternative but to re port this to the Rating organization management.” If the village were demoted from class B to C, fire insurance rates on all types of dwellings, industrial and commercial buildings would be im mediately i n c r e a s e d . On frajme dwellings the increase would be ap proximately $1 a thousand annually. , Mr. Proper attended the village board meeting Monday to discuss what steps had been taken to im prove fire protection in the village. Last summer the Eating organiza tion made an inspection of fire de fenses in the village and in October submitted a report, with certain re commendations which it indicate^ should be carried out, if Greenwich is to keep its present fire insurance rates. The conclusion reached in this re port was: “The water system.in this village is both inadequate and un reliable. The fire department is severely limited by a lack of neces sary equipment and apparatus. The deficiences in these two main fea tures of protection coupled with the hazardous conditions present in the. village made the over-all fire risk very great. The village is being ad vised that immediate improvements in the water system and the fire de partment must be undertaken if present fire insurance rates arc to v be maintained.’' ‘ Mr. Proper went over the report with the trustees Monday. He com mended the village for having an eii* gineering study made of the water system and n e c e s s a r y improve ments. he approved the purchase of new equipment for tlie fire company, bids for which, were received that evening; generally, he said the vil* ' lage. was working in the,right:dk§fe. tion toward carrying out tne reconH niendations, but he reiterated tho heed for a new fire pumper and lad der truck and improvements in tho water system. \I feel jou have the makings of a good fire department, but the men don’t have the equipment or the water supply to do the job,” Mr, Proper said. He indicated he would await the outcome of the vote on the bond is sue for improving the water systems before making any final report toi the Rating organization manage ment. Village Attorney Julian V. D. Or ton reported he had been in con ference with a bonding council anct with the water power and control commission relative to the proposed plans for a bond issue to finance tho water program, and that at the next meeting of the board he expected to have definite information oh pres entation of the bond issue to the people. The village board voted to pur chase considerable small fire fight ing equipment from Galway Equip ment company whose low bid was $1,047.50. Other bidders were: Ed ward Ellis, Argyle, $1,069; Harry Arnold, Cambridge, $1,118.85. The board accepted the resigna tion of Herschel Polley as school patrolman, effective Friday. No ap pointment was made. f- ■ . ■ • v Tina! Plans Are Made for African Violet S'liow at Glens Falls March 2 9 , 3 0 The Tri-County African.
