Pianists The councils of Port Perry, Reach and Scugog met Mon- 'day - evening with Norman Alexander, Chief of Fire Serv- ices for the Ontario Fire Marshall to discuss the purch- ase of the new .fire truck, tendered for previously. Mr. Alexander had been asked by _.the councils to attend this meeting so that they could receive the recom- mendations of the Fire Marsh- all's Office regarding the purchase of this truck. When asked by the councils to what his opinion of the were, he in turn asked the councils what they were plan- ning to do with the truck. He said if the Village of Port Perry Fire truck was going to, respond to all the fire calls in Reach and Scugog, then. all they required was .just a water wagon. When he was informed this would not be the case, and the own truck would only be used in the townships in case of a large fire, not to leave Port Perry without fire prot- ection, he said the truck the fire department asked for was Will Ask For New Tenders Before Tanker Purchased ~ | specifications for the truck| good, with some deletions and some additions. He said some items on the specifications could be deleted to save money, but he also said that the pump asked for was too small, that it should 'be a 420 gallon per minute pump instead of a 250. The 420 pump would give the proper fire fighting power and would also come up to the Insurance Underwriters specif- ifications. This he said might lead to reduction in the 'insurance rates for the area. After some discussion the councils agreed that the larger pump would be better for all concerned. They. decided to re-tender for the truck on account of 'the changes being made from the previous spec- ifications. : It was left with Mr. Alex- ander to work with the fire chief to draw up the new specifications for. the truck. . The councils also' agreed that, - -the addition to the present fire hall which was - recommended by fhe, Rire Marshall in a recent survey would be Soba this year. - HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT GREENBANK. t "Church bells pealed, thunder flashes boomed from the banks of the Raisin River Saturday, Sept. 2nd, as the bend and headed for a land- ing below the Nor' Westers' museum at Williamstown" --~Glengary News, Sept. 14, 1967 The man who was respon- sible both for the canoe bri- gade which had made its way-to Eastern Ontario from Grand Portage, .
