Fire Truck Could Have
Saved House And
Contents
The worst residential fire oc­
curring in the Nyssa section in
several years destroyed the resi­
dence o f Mr. and Mrs. Charles T a y ­
lor on highway 20 about four miles
north of Nyssa last Saturday.
The fire destroyed the two-story
residence and all of its contents
after forcing Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
and their five children to flee
scantily cflad into the sub-freezing
temperature.
Loss on the build­
ing and contents, partly covered
by insurance, was estimated at
$25,000.
The fam ily first became aware
of the fire when Mrs. Taylor, sleep­
ing on the second floor of the
residence with the remainder of
her family, smelled smoke.
She
called Mr. Taylor, who immedi­
ately started an investigation. He
went to the basement, where he
discovered the flam e making some
headway near the furnace. W ith ­
out any effective means o f fight-
ini; the flames. Mr. Taylor phoned
the Nyssa firemen, who rushed to
the scene of the fire but were also
helpless because a city ordinance
prohibits the fire department from
taking the fire truck outside o f the
city limits.
The Nyssa firemen
phoned the Ontario fire depart­
ment, but the Ontario fire fighters
arrived at the scene with their truck
too late to control the blaze. They
did, however, cool a butane gas
tank on the outside o f the building
sufficiently to permit It to be Jerk­
ed loose from the connections lead­
ing into the house.
Taylor, who suffered minor burns
In attempting to extinguish the
flames, said he believed 'he could
have put out the fire when he first
discovered it if he had had a fire
bomb or extinguisher. Nyssa fire­
men expressed toeief that they
could have controlled the blaze
if tnev had had a fire truck when
they Tirst'arrivea at the Arm .
Taylor finished remodeling the
residence, located on the former
K. S. and D ranch, about two
weeks before Christmas at a cost
of several thousand dollars.
He
said the cost of the building, which
was fully equipped electrically, and
Its contents would reach $25.000.
The T aylor fam ily have found
temporary living quartern and are
making arrangements for a more
permanent residence. A farm house
the fam ily was living in north of
the K. 8. and D. ranch was de­
stroyed by fire two years ago, but
much o f the contents was saved.

The freezing temperatures, which
fell to low of seven degrees below
zero here this week, have frozen
several water pipes under the
streets.
City Manager E. K. Burton esti­
mated 18 such service pipes have
been frozen because hey are not
laid deep enough. C ity employes
are thawing the pipes as rapirly
as possible. Mr. Bur top said let­
ting water run a little from faucets
would help to keep the water from
freezing.
The seven-below-zero temperat­
ure, recorded the morning of Jan­

years. The temperature is believ­
ed by old-tiime residents to ibe the
oldest since the winter o f 1936-37.

but added that it would toe unreas­
onable to send a truck far Into

The principal reasons
for the city ordinance prohibiting
the city truck from being taken
into the country are that insurance
rates in Nyssa would be increased,
the city would be left unprotected
and firem en’s Insurance would be

Company Giving Land
For State W ork At
Garrison Corner
Plans for the elimination o f two
dangerous highway crossings at the
Dale Garrison corner on the Nyssa-
Adrian highway were announced
here this week. The announcement
was made following a conference
of railroad officials with Chairman
Ed Knettle o f the Nyssa public
safety council Wednesday.
Men representing the railroad
were L. W. Alnhof of Portland, d iv­
ision engineer of the Union Pacific,
western district, and L. V. Chausse,
division engineer o f the Idaho d iv­
ision.
The railroad company agreed to
give the necessary right-of-way, 20
feet wide and about one-eighth of
a mile long, for construction of the
highway along a line parallel to the
tracks o f the Homedale branch to
replace the present section, which
crosses the railroad tracks due
north and south, makes a sharp
rjyht-angle turn and crosses the
tracks due east and west.
The change will eliminate the
west highway crossing entirely and
will leave the other crossing only
for the purpose of serving three
farm families.
The originail complaint about the
dangerous condition of the cross­
ings was given to the state h igh ­
way commission by the Nyssa pub­
lic safety council following a fatal
accident a t one o f the crossings a
few months ago. H ie letter o f com ­
plaint was referred to the railroad
company by the commission, which
then took under consideration plans
for ellminatim? the hazard a t the
insistence of the safety council.
Mr. Knettle said Che railroad men
were gratified at plans for the
change, as they said costly mech­
anical signals, which 'had been
proposed for the Garrison comer,
have not proved 1» be very succ­
essful In all cases in eliminating
accidents involving trains and m ot­
or vehicles.
R. H. Baldock of Salem, state
highway engineer, is reported to
have said work will be start ted on
the charge as soon as weather per­
mits in the spring.
The railroad men who visited in
Nyssa this week also expressed
themselves as being in favor o f the
elimination o f the so-called cannery
crossing at Park avenue and the
routing of traffic through the un­
derpass.
