Favors Granting Space
Asked For.
DAIRY SITE TO BE USED
Matter of Park Alarm Stations
To Be Pushed in Other
Boroughs ? Perils of
Present System.
Kiro Commissioner .Johnson mads a
personal appeal to the Park Bonn) ??t
its meeting yesterday afternoon for iark
sit? ; for central alarm stations in all
boroughs. Commissioner Johnson said
he hail seen t Im Mavor about the matter
and thai the Mavor had told him to
confer with the rark Board, That body
?-..in. months ago turned down the siig
gestlon, but Tark Commissioner Sto\or
said yeaterday that he was in favor "f
granting the sit- asked in rentrai Park
and that the other commissioners would
decid?- what they would do ro?-ardins*
their respective boroughs,
The Fire Commissioner also presented
plans. The site desired in Central Park
Is near the 86th street transverse road,
DOW occupied by the dairy, an old
wooden structura which Is rapidly fall?
ing to ploies and which Commissioner
Stover has already planned to have re?
moved. Commissioner Johnson said lie
would put up a structure in the park
along the lines demanded by Commls
.-?. m?r stover, al a coal of $80,000. Ac?
cording to the plans submitted the cen?
tral alarm station would occupy only g
small part of the proposed structure, and
the Park Department would have tho
use of the rest of it.
"Next to the burning Up Of th" entire
iit\." said Commissioner Ji hnson. "the
destruction of the fire alarm central sta
llon would be the greatest calamity that
COUld befall New York. That at present
is a possibility. It is a ?rime that the
(entrai alarm station is not situated In
a place apart from other building*. In
Manhattan there Is only one place
where tin- necssarv isolation can be
[obtained, and that is in t'entrai Park.
I realize that the Park Commissioners
fcannot countenance park invasion. But
in this Instance the protection of live
million persons Ig ai stake." '
In Spaa king of his attitude regarding
the proposed site ,,f the station Park
Commissioner St??\?r said It would mean
that at 00 cost to its?*lf the Park De?
partment would get a structure of
"beautiful prop'.rtlons.' and an un
Mghtly, dilapidated building would be
H<d rid ol
Commiaoloner Stover told Fire Com?
missioner Johnson to submit plans as
????ti as pneaible em hod vine the changes
whi.-h the Park Commissioner asked
should be made. One of the ?hanses re?
<i'i> sted was thai the Park Department
should have the use of the story <>f the
stun tur?- al,,,v.- ?round, while the Kile
Department would have that below.
According to Commlaeloner stover an
impression of many ? iti/.ens is that the
vtatlon is t?i house firs apparatus.
'That is not the caae," said tbe Part
? 'ommissioner

BROOKLYN ADVERTISEMENTS.
Sentiment
and
Personality
It doesn't pay to be al?
ways too matter of fact?
many a day-dream has kept
people from becoming old?
it is the healthy romance
gotten out of practical
things that make for youth.
It is not alone with the
animate things that we form
lasting attachments.
We may become so fond
of some possession that we
infuse it with life.
It is just this atmosphere
of sentiment radiating from
every STERLING PIANO
that gives it that person?
ality universally recognized.
You become proud of
what your STERLING
PIANO represents?proud
of the place it has earned
in the art world?proud of
the effect its magic tone has
on your friend?proud of
its influence on your own,
heartstrings.
It has become so much.?
part of your life and yxiur
home, that you protect the
honor of its name as you
protect the honor of your
own.
These characteristic*
which accompany the r
/
Sterling
Piano
are most practical after all.
because they are the result
of merit?-they are the
thoughts of the artist who
planned the Sterling Piano,
finding expression through
the skill of the craftsman
who built it.
There isn't a safer piano
in the world to buy.
There isn't a part of its
construction about which
you can't get the absolute
facts.
There is nothing hidden
from you, and nothing to
hide.
The price is always the
same?no one can buy a
cent better than you can?
and that price the actual
cost to manufacturer with a
fair profit added and noth?
ing more.
Any honest person can
buy a Sterling?WE MAKE
LIBERAL TERMS AND
PROTECT YOU WITH A
GUARANTEE that means
just what it says.
