Duck, being present, requested permission of the <br />Board to paint the outside of Fire Station No. 12. It was pointed out that <br />the redwood siding should be given a dark stain. This met with the agree- <br />ment of the Fire Chief, who informed the Board that the building has been <br />sanded and is ready for application of the stain. Funds being available <br />for this renovation, the Board granted its approval. <br />The Chief then took up with the Board the urgency for replacement of <br />Squad 1 equipment. <br />Then appeared before the Board, Mr. Frank Kocza.n, President of the Rum <br />Village Business Ments Association and a delegation of members of the <br />association, bringing to the attention of the Board the need for a fire <br />station in the southwest section of the city. It was pointed out that the <br />city purchased and owns a lot at the intersection of Prairie and Ewing <br />Avenues as a site for a fire station to serve this section of the city. <br />Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck, being present mentioned the types of equip- <br />ment and stations presently responsible for the protection of this area. <br />The delegation expressed the opinion that considerable hazard exists due <br />to the area being surrounded by railroad switching tracks, which could <br />cause serious delay of fire equipment. The fact that the area also <br />contains two large elementary schools was also mentioned. The Board, <br />at the Fire Chiefts suggestion, directed that the Fire Underwriterst <br />office at Chicago be called upon to make a technical survey of the <br />situation, and the action of the Board will hinge upon the findings and <br />report of such survey. <br />Next appeared before the Board,Mrs. Orrill Jones, 734 Wenger Street, <br />complaining of excessive truck traffic and noise from this traffic at night. <br />Mrs. Jones stated, that in her opinion, the trucks -are violating speed limits, <br />in addition to creating unnecessary noise and disturbance at the intersection <br />of Pennsylvania and High Streets. The Board assured Mrs. Jones the matter <br />would receive the attention of the Chief of Police, and definite action would <br />be taken to alleviate the condition immediate) <br />y• <br />
