Geneva Plans New Station, Town Hall Geneva Town Plans For New Building Geneva is making plans to erect a new building to house the town and rural fire trucks and the town hall, according to announcement made by Stanley Baumgartner, president of the Geneva town board of trustees. The building committee have worked on the plans for the past several months together with the trustees of Wabash, Hartford, Jefferson and Bearcreek townships. A one-story. 50 by 60 structure is suggested. It will be located on the town lot next to the old town well, facing on Line and Decatur streets. The walls will be brick on the two sides facing the streets, while the remaining two will be of concrete blocks. Three entrances for the fire station are in the plans. It is estimates that the new building will cost $26,600. Parts of this will be provided through fire equipment housing contracts with four townships of the area, which will be reimbursed by housing their fire equipment for eight years. The balance will be paid through a bond issue, to be paid off in the next 15 years. The town board, or building committee, was selected by the fire department, engineers Baer and Buschman of Fort Wayne, and the town attorney Howard Baumgartner. Engineers are now working on the specifications, and the town attorney will draw up the petition which is to be legally advertised, and which will state the proposed action. The present building houses two fire trucks, and the fire department states that it would be inadvisable to try to repair the old town hall.
