Walz, Inc. 51.00 FIRE DEPARTMENT: Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck, being present, first brought to the Boards attention the fact that Fire Station No. 3, 219 No. Hill Street, has now been completely vacated, and is ready to be turned over to the Electrical Department. Some discussion was given to the use to which the building can now be put and the fact that the combined Police and Fire Department radio maintenance shop is at this time installed and functioning. The Fire Chief, thereupon, turned the building officially back to the Board of Public Safety, and the Board immediately turned jurisdiction of these premises over to Ira Hunsberger, Superintendent of the Electrical Department, who was present and accepted this respons- ibility. Further discussion ensued relative to certain changes or alterations needed to place the building in a status better adaptable for the Electrical Departments needs, particularly for cable storage purposes, also the feasibility of converting from coal to oil heat. After some consideration and in view of the fact that definite costs figures were not available a.nd. estimated costs were in excess of funds appropriated to meet this type of expenditure, it was the decision of the Board to postpone any action in these matters for a period of months. The Board next examined quotations received from four suppliers to provide air compressor required by the Fire Department. The Worthington compressor at the net price of $352.00 f.o.b. South Bend was deemed the best offer, and the Clerk was directed to issue purchase order accordingly. Fire Department applications of the following applicants were examined and ordered placed on file: Marshall E. Brodbeck Edwin C. Mendlikowski Daniel L. Morgan Frank J. Straka
