With the opening to the gen- eral public of the new Kreig apartments on Oak Street to- morrow evening, one of Hood River’s long felt needs will be filled. There has always been a big demand for high-class apartment houses, and the few building which could fit the requirements have long and extensive waiting lists. The new Kreig building will provide 16 apartments, most of them of three rooms and bath, with one or two smaller apartments containing com- bined living and bedroom.

Taylor, who grew up in Hood River and has spent all of his adult life here, is the first person from this area to be named as the state’s top fireman. The announcement was made at a Wednesday night fire- men’s banquet in Eugene. Now a paid fireman in Hood River, Taylor is also a member of the Hood River Volunteer Fire De- partment. In addition, he is a member of the West Side Volunteer Fire De- partment. His selection was based not only on the long hours he has devoted to meet- ings and training, but also on his community ac- tivities. As a West Side volunteer, Taylor was in- strumental in converting a surplus van into a res- cue truck, among many other department activi- ties. For the Hood River area, Taylor has taken his own time to conduct tours of the department for youngsters, he has taken a fire prevention program to schools, and he is a lieutenant in charge of training. Taylor was the origina- tor of the Odell to Hood River mini-marathon, run on the Fourth of July each year, and he has been in charge of the fire- works display prepara- tions on the Fourth for the past two years. — Hood River News, June 19, 1975
