Comm. Dorman Opens Another Station
The formal opening of a new $80,000 fire house in Old Slip, New York, which embraces the Wall Street and other market districts of the metropolis was attended by Mrs. Eleanor B. Winch, sister of Major Cyril Morris, second in command of the London Fire Brigade. Mrs. Winch made many notes and asked many questions principally about the capacity of New York's ten fireboats, the fumes, masks, and the traffic situation as it affects the Fire Department.
At a luncheon which followed the opening of the firehouse by Fire Commissioner John J. Dorman, other officials, and business men, Mrs. Winch extended the greetings of the London Fire Brigade to the New York Fire Department and declared that it would be with much pleasure and appreciation that she would upon her return to London inform her brother of the courteous treatment accorded her by officials of the New York Fire Department.
