=. The Committee on Fire, to whom was referred
the communication from his Honor the Mayor,
with regard TO disturbance which occurred on the
night OF the 7th of June, uit between Philadelphia
Fire Go. No. ID, and Hope Hook and Ladder
Co. No. 3, would beg leave to report:
That, from the evidence they have oeen enable
TO procure, they are satisfied that but small num-
Der Of the members Of Fire Co. No. IA were en-
gagged in the attack made on Hook and Ladder No.
The reprehensible custom Of allowing boys and
others, who seem to be hangers.on of the various
companies, to run with their machines, and take
part with the members at fires, and be treated as
members OF the different companies, and underline
main cause of the difficulty between these two
companies, and has ever been the fruitful cause oi
difficulty in the Fire Department heretofore. Il
affords the Committee much pleasure to state tha,
the Foreman of No. IA, according to the testimony
before them, appears to have used his best exer
tions to prevent the outrage which perpetra,eG
on Hook and Ladder No. 8, but seems, according
TO his own evidence, and that of others, to have
had no control over the refractory portion of hi.
company.
Your committee, in performing the duty assigned
them, have to express their deep regret at ths
ukewarmness and apparent evasion of larg,
portion OF the Fire Department, in producing ev
dence of the offence committed and of the idebtit,
OF the persons engaged therein, they believe tina
the honor and integrity of the whole department
was j'opardIz-d, which should be protected BIZ
every true fireman, with the same tenacity, and
guarded as j alously as his own. They cannol
pass over tae conduct of the Foreman of Hope
Hook and Ladder Co. No. 3, without giving ex.
preston to their censure, and that the Com
pany will inquire why he refused to be sworn, or
TO give evidence to the Committee, although pre-
sent and in command of bis company at the time OF
the attack made upon it,
Your Committee are constrained to believe, from
the evidence before them, that Philadelphia Fire
Co No. IA has il in her power to fix the guilt of
this sturbance upon the proper parties (members
Of said comI any but that she has refused and ne
elected 10 do SO, and would, therefore, beg leave
offer the accompanying resolutions, and ask to be
discharged from further consideration Of the sub
