Mastersonville
Fire Co., To Build
2-Room Fire Hall
Mastersonville Fire Company,
met Tuesday evening, at which
time the chairman of the building
committee announced plans to con-
struct a fire hall, consisting of a 2-
room concrete block building of
one story construction. One room
to be used for meetings and the
other for fire apparatus.
The plot of ground offered by H.
W. Hess as a gift to the company
is to be the new building site and
ic located near the Hess dwelling.
A number of residents in the rur-
al area surrounding Mastersonville
offered to donate large trees for
roof timbers for the new fire hall if
firemen assumed costs of cutting
and hauling. Another resident vol-
unteered the free use of his saw,
truck and sawmill facilities on con-
dition that experienced sawers were
employed. The total cost of the
lumber, the company computed
would be only a small fraction of
the current retail price.
Ray Myers, chief of Friendship
Fire Company, Mt. Joy. offered for
$2500 a reconditioned pump and
section of suction hose no longer
needed by his company. Myers al-
so invited the Mastersonville or-
ganization to join the Lancaster
County Firemen's Association. The
equipment was purchased and the
