Plans for the proposed new central fire station to be erected on the sito of the present engine house at the frot of Bry ant street and across Indian cre?k wer submitted at the special meeting of the city council yesterday afternoon by the committee of which Councilman Bellinger is chairman and Councllmen Jensen and Olson the other members. The plans, which met with much favor, provide for a thoroughly up-to-date en gine house, the building to be forty-eight feet wide and sixty-eight feet deep ana of two stories. The main room on the ground floor for the equipment Is 43x45 feet, with three double doors opening onto Washington avenue and a side en trance on Bryant street for the wajrar.s to enter on returning to the building, thus avoiding the necessity of sack ins them in as is the case with the present building. On the second floor Is a sleep ing room 19x4S and a recreation room 26x43 in addition to a room for the fire alarm equipment, bath, toilet and storage rooms. The building is to be constructed of brick with steel truss roof. The first story will be of paving brick on the ex terior with pressed brick on the interior, thus avoiding lath and plaster and en abling the walla to be washed with the hose. The plans propose heating the building from the central heating plant between the city hall and police head quarters. The estimated cost of the proposed new fire station Is placed at SIS. 000. No aotlon was taken on the plans. It is likely that the city will bring a test case In the courts to determine whether a contractor Is required to re pair a sewer which may be damaged as the result of such a storm as was ex perienced Tuesday evening, within one year of constructing same. The quea Mon, It Is said, has never been deter mined by the Iowa supreme court. Ac coruls to the statutes of Iowa every contract for constructive work upon street Improvements or sewers Is required to contain a provision obligating the eon tractor to keep the improvement in good repair for a period of one year. Whether this applies only to repairs made neces sary by defective workmanship or ma terial or whether It Includes repair of damage done by acts of nature, of un usual violence such as the storm of last Tuesday evening. i& the 'question In volved. The question was referred to City Solicitor Kimball, who expressed the opinion " that a test case wiil probably have to be made of the matter. The contract for paving the approaches to and driveway over the new concrete bridge at Frank street, over Indian creek, was awarded to E. A. wickham at the pre vailing price for brick paving on concrete base. T.ie city engineer was instructed to otlfy the contractor that tha concrete railing on the bridge would have to be re placed. It was stated that the contractor had expressed a willingness to replace the wall, which wa cracked as a result of the storm Tuesday evening. The bridge was erected by a De Moines firm. The matter of the opening of Twenty fourth street, between Broadway and First venue, waa laid over until the meeting next Monday night. The city clerk was Instructed to adver tise for bids for a carload of twenty-four-inch sewer tiling. Before holilng their session the council men took a drive around the city to Inspect the atreeta which had been washed during the storm Tuesday evening. Aaaaal Picaie of Aggies. AMES. Ia-. May li.
