OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A Contemporary Advises Water.
 bury to Let We'll Enough Alone.

A Contemporary Advises Water- bury to Let We'll Enough Alone. The New London Day prints this flat tering notice of Waterbury's volunteer | fire departments: Waterbury's common | council has been considering change l from volunteer to paid fire depart
 ment, the matter coming before that body by a resolution providing for the
 change to occur on the 1st of January
 next. The council voted to table the
 resolution after a brief discussion, dur ing which Alderman Rametti, who has a practical knowledge of the workings of | the department at present, opposed the adoption of the resolution by saying Waterbury was going too fast, and that | the city did not need a paid department. Waterbury has one of the most efficient fire departments in the state, and nat
 urally the council does not want to part
 with it unless it is apparent that greater efficiency can be secured in a paid de- partment. The statement that the de- partment now has all the modern appli-
 ances for extinguishing fires and there fore the services of so many men are not
 necessary. certainly did not furnish a
 sufficient reason for abolishing the vol
 unteer system. Waterbury is growing
 city and naturally wants to be as well protected from fire as it is possible for it to be, but whether the fow advocates of
 a paid department are moving in the right direction to secure the desired re- suit is by no means certain. A volun- teer department judiciously and econo-
 mically managed can be supported for a
 good deal less money than a paid fire de-
 partment and it can do more effective
 work, too in a city where fires are few in number. Let we'll enough alone, we
 believe to be safe policy when well enough is so satisfactory. The idea that
 occasionally crops out, but it does not
 prevail long when expense and efficiency
 are considered, and the notion dies out
 as suddenly as it originates. It may be the same experience that Waterbury is to have
