TIE BUSINESS MEN.

THE BUSlN FSS MEN.
nWbat do YOU think OF the removal Of Fire
Marshal Bennera" asked the reporter of Fl. ".
schtmpferman, wholesale grocer on Madison
street.
II don't know Beuner from any other man,
was the reply. II think the Fire Department
"a II; has bean managed has been the mos: sue
cessful and efficient of any I ever knew.
As to the merits Of the case know moth
inr. / am not posted as to that
T merely wish to say that the Fire Department
has been carried on in the best way possible.
have never seen Bcnner in my life, and know
nothing about him indivi7ual]y.''
viii this removal affect your insurance
anya"
aNo: don't know that It will, but never
like changes. In my business associations when
| an doing well with parties l don't want to
change. Changes are always disastrous.
think the one great fault in our Government is
that our officials are changed so frequently. Our
Judges and officials holding responsible posi-
tione shnn1d be continued for life at good
salary It seems to me that salary is no object
where good and efficient officer Is concerned
/ think all such men ought to be continued in
office for life or durns Z. gooq oenaYos Inis
Wessrs, Grommes j. Ullrich, Madison street,
hardly had any opinion in the matter. They
didn't like to say anything:
"Do you know Beuncr:'
uSo.: Mr. Swenie may do as well. Benner is
a good officer, don't think We really ever had
a hetter one, Still, wonldn't allow myself to
h]ame Harrison at all for bis action In the mat
ter.'
said: s'We don't really approve p E! OF It; thing
moye Faithful officers. don't believe fn making:
he Fire Department. a political machine.''
{. Perhaps some other man would be found
equally efficient und equally skllful," suggested
the reporter.
eonhical reply. s.but re don't know what new
man will do. The experience NAV cost US too
mnch money, 4 man in his position ought not
to be discarded in such position as that'
Mr. William FIoto, on dearborn street, was
which he gave very irecty ana ABOUT TO the
same effect as the others.
II don't think 1T was quite right 7 don't
think Harrison acted ]udlcioQsly II the matter
At all. Benncr has proved himself good and
efficient officer, and ought not to be removed in
INV snch way. don't believe In it. No man
onrht to be removed without good cause from
so rosnonsible a position as that Of Fire Mar
shal, and especially one who has had SO much
experience and ability as Benncr has proved
