This ‘ Above is a picturé of the old fire hall erected in 1911. At that time the fire equipment . consisted of four handâ€"drawn reels which were stationed at four different points about the town. In 1014, the Weston volunteer fire brigade was organâ€" ized, and a few yearsâ€"later the fire department bought ‘a ‘used car which was converted into a fire truck at no cost to the town, the money be'l‘r;i taken ogt of the Fireâ€" men‘s Fund. In 1919, a "Baby Grand" fire truck was ipumhlsed is was used until 1932 when a ge truck was obtained. The "Baby Grand" was sold im 1942 and the préesent GMC. fire truck purchased. The brigade, at that time, operated on a very efficient basis at small cost to the town, which was in the way of a grant of 8145.02dpu year t6 the fire chief and brigade.

With the big plans for the Humber Conservation Consultation having been made in respect to their views on the matter, there has been presented to the paper another very important phase on this matter, that will be given full publicity in next week‘s issue. We ask for comments on the above letter and the proposed public subscription. We would ask for a generâ€" The Editor, Times and Guide, Weston. Dear Sir: The Community Recreation Centre grounds, which the Westmount citizens have so nbily supported, is immediately adjacent to the bridge and provides a safe access for the children of Westmount community to and from the grounds, and for this reason it would appear that the use of this bridge is even more important than ever. It is not the intention of the writer to enter into any controversy as to whether the municipalities of Weston or Etobicoke should assume the responsibility as to the upkeep, but as it has been reported to us that a sum of $400 would probably make satisfactory repairs, we are sure a public subscription for this amount could be raised by the citizens of this community and for this purpose we are enclosing our cheque for $50.00 towards such a fund. We also express our appreciation to the Times and Guide for their interest in the matter and trust that the amount required will be oversubscribed by the citizens who have always made any community enterprise a success.

Editorial Comments on Plan The above letter is an excellent suggestion and one that should receive the endorsation and cooperation of the citizens of Weston and Westmount. It does appear from the investigation that has been made, that the bridge can be put into a state of repair for the sum mentioned.
