Y., M A Y 8 , 1953 7c P E R SINGLE COPY Water Rents May Be Increased — Fire Report Given At the Village Board meeting Monday night Fire Chief Hood was present and gave his annual report: April 1952 to April 1953 15 runs in- the village. Total estimated loss $1500; 27 runs in rural district. Total estimated loss $15,200; 2 fire calls to Gen eva; 1 fire call to Honeoye; 1 fire call to Waterloo; 1 mutual aid drill at Clifton Springs; 2 test runs; 2 search parties; 4 ambulance calls; 1 inhalator call Total number of men report ing at all fires 1258. Due to the numerous com plaints the village board has de cided to erect stop signs on Clifton street at the intersec tion of Clifton street and Wal nut. Considerable discussion took place between the village board and Chief Hood in regard to the necessary supplies to be pur chased for the Fire Department for the ensuing year. The village board also discussed other mat ters including the question of water rents. As it has been ne cessary for the village to pur chase amounts of water from the village of Newark, it is antici pated that in the near future a slight increase in the water rents will be made. It is believed that the/ fire was started from an overheated or leaking oil Burner. There vf&s no one at h.ome at the time, but the fire was discovered by a bread truck driver, who called the Geneva Fire Depart-' meht. As this department did not have a booster, truck, the Phelps Fire Department was called, but the house was already a total loss. According to Fire Chief Rollin Hood of the Phelps Fire Depart ment, the estimated value was between five and six thousand dollars. The loss was partly cov ered by insurance on both the house and contents. Phelps Firemen Answer Call 'The home of Chester Goodman, Geneva-Lyons Road, south of Five Points, was completely de stroyed by fire about 10 a. m. Monday.
