OPINIONS OF A FIREMAN.

EDITOR BULLETIN: AS a select
committee of the Legislature has
been appointed to investigate the
laws relating to the Fire Department
and as recent events have brought
that organization prominently before
the public, q few remarks relating
thereto would not be out of place.
The Honolulu Fire Department is
under the command of a Chief En-
gineer, who is elected annually. He
handles the money appropriated for
the maintenance of the Department,
presides at the meetings of the
board of representatives and has
sole and absolute control of all ap-
paratus belonging to the Depart
ment.
If the Chief Engineer was res
ponsible to one of the Cabinet Min
tiers there would be little cause for
complaint, but as the law is at
present he has all this power and is
responsible to no one, he can be as
arbitrary as he pleases, as domineer-
ing as he likes, as independent and
oflicious as he chooses, but once
elected he cannot be removed, when
lie takes his seat it is for one year
at least.
When the Chief happens to be an
honest, liberal and impartial man,
everything runs smoothly, but if he
happens to be just the opposite,
there will be nothing but continual
wranglings, disputes and disagree
ments, which more than anything
else tend to make the Department
inefficient.
AS it is a volunteer organization
its efficiency depends great deal on
its popularity. If it becomes un-
popular from any cause, there will
be no firemen; if there are no fire.
men who will put out the fires, the
member from Koolauloa? The ulti-
mate result in any case will be a
paid Department and if steps are
not taken, by the present Legisla-
ture, to make the volunteer organ
ization more popular by removing
the causes of complaint, of which
there are several, paid Department
will be necessary long before the
next Legislature meets. 1t is posi-
hle however to remove the abuses
which are at present causing dissa-
tisfaction, and thereby prolong the
life of the volunteer Department.

The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated and

ry, late hours, irregular habits, and
many other things which ought
not to be, have made the Ameri.
cen people q ration OF dvspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work liz reform.

the American people SO healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and
behappy.
Remember:-No happiness With
