NEWEST L. A. FIRE STATION DEDICATION

Two-Story House in Temple Street Is Formally Opened
 With Elaborate Program

The very latest homes for the modern and efficient fire department of Los Angeles was exemplified today when members of Engine Company No. 6 and Truck Company No. 21 were hosts at a formal opening of their new station in Temple street at Edgeware road, with department and city officials participating in the program.
  Replacing what was the oldest fire house in the city, an old wooden structure, the new building is two-stories in height, of Spanish design, and ideally arranged for its purpose.
  The ground, or apparatus floor, is ample for the equipment of the station while on the second floor is a separate apartment for the station commander and a very large room with beds for the company.  In addition to complete showers and locker rooms, there is a well equipped game room and library for use of the firemen during recreational hours.  In addition, in the rear, close to the kitchen and mess hall, there is a handball court that already is very popular.
  The program starts at 8 p.m., with the Northwest Improvement Association, which has been an active proponent for the new station in charge.  There will be refreshments and dancing and inspection of the house.  Clarence W. Horn, president of the association; Councilman Thomas Williams of the Twelfth district and Councilman Carl L. Jacobson of the Thirteenth district are among the speakers scheduled.
