NEW WINDSOR CITIZENS TO ORGANIZE FIRE CO.
Democratic Advocate, January 23, 1948
About 200 citizens interested in the organization of a fire department for New Windsor and community gathered in the Carlton theater Tuesday evening. Mr. Hesson presided at the meeting.
A state insurance representative spoke before the gathering and announced that the insurance rate would increase from 22 cents to 35 cents on a $100 if the fire department was not organized for that town.
When asked for members to support a fire department for the city about 65 put their names on the dotted line as members.
An election of officers will be held next Tuesday evening.
A new fire pumper will be purchased sometime in the near future.
The following from the Union Bridge Fire Department were present to assist in the organizations: Howard Gray, Emory G. Minnick and Lewis Baker.
