The FIRE HARsHAIsHIP.
You will observe that the new charter for you
city makes no provision for Fire Marshal. This
the quiet wny they had Of dropping Fire Mnrshi
Bracket out of once and leaving the way clear iC
: Mr. Alfred f. Baker to resume the ONCE on IN
terms under which he held 1t so many years. As u
Interested know, Mr.. Baker acted as Fire Marsha
under pay iron tine insurance companies. The PC
lice Commissioners made him o special ofhcer Will
out pay and the Police justices recognized him M
courtesy which they were willing to extend 10 III
insurance people. So Mr.. Baker will probably r,
sumo his old place.
