The Firer,en vs.. Bebcock Ex,ipguisE, ar,

I'd" Firen,en w. BabcOck ExiinguisIl ers
The decision of the Supreme Court o,
! Friday in the controversy between the in
surance interest employing the Babcocl
eXtlnguishers and the Firenen's Charitab,,
Association. with Chief Engineer Thomas
OConnor as figure head, will please the
majority of citizens and not be considered
unjust by the fremen them selves.
The court does not dispute the claim Of
the fire department that its chief should be
supreme at fires, nor that his orders should
be obeyed without question. But it shows
tnat there was no claim on the part of the
babcock men to interfere with these pre-.
negatives. but only desire to get first TO a
| ire and do their best to extiuguish it. This
The conrt understands they wish to 10
| under the direction of the chief, or, rs the
court expresses it, under the direction of
| the managers and subject 30 their orders
| The court sees no harm IN this nor can any
| one else.
The court proceeds further and declares
that the ordinance directing the Babcock
machine and the men working it should be
IL
IL au understandable exercise OF power
This will also be considered reasonable and
Just. The queurhing Of a fire bv almost
any means IN d praiseworthy action, and
wnere the means are directly employed bv
party having an interest in its speedy ey
tinguishment, it is contrary to sound law 70
Interfere with the effort. for It is the eyar
else Of right
This is % triumph for the Babcock ma
chine in the war wageG between i and the
ASSOCIATION. lnferentialy 1t may be con
sdered greater triumph as sustaining
Judge Hawkins dictum that the exclusive
right OF putting oct C. fire could not be con-
terred on any one, The court did net no
tice this point, for it was not necessary,
but as it was omitted, it IS O fair indication
OF coincidence of opinion with Judge Eaw
kins.
But though the court thus DESTROYS what
the Firenen's Association considered their
strongest points, there IS 40 reason why the
fremen should consider their efficiency i'm
paired, On the contrary. the decision aids
it. Though the right of the Babcock to
put out any fire it can be carried to is main
tanned. and its liberty protected, the real
point of interest to the community is also
specially allowed This chief is declared
absolute at a fire, and surely neither he nor
his able and yea Gus assistants can con
sistently object to an ally whose efforts arc
prompted by the same motive as themselves.
Both wish to save property, one for glory,
the other in the interest of the insurer; but
each will do his best. The decision, properly
considered, ought to make everything har
mOnious.
