teer Motion.
The Union cannot shake off its an
tiquated notion of the worth of vol
unteer firemen, and in spite Of the
repeated demonstrations Of the SUI
Periority Of the paid department, it
clings fondly to the belief that sys-
tenn without discipline whose only
duty is to throw water on burning
building.is the post reliable and SER
viceable. Commenting on yester-
days fire, the Union shows it's
extreme ignorance by terming
prePostcrous the proposition adj
vanced by the ARGUS that
the council ought to adopt ordi-
nances forbidding the use of water
on any occasion except in cases
where the fire is under great head
way. until the arrival of the depart
ment. The ARGUS did not expect the
Union would endorse any suggestion
that looked to the better efficiency
and the promotion of discipline and
order in the operation of the depart
ment. However, it may be recalled
that had the Unions ideas been car.
ried out We would still have been un.
der the volunteer system, and at tho
mercy of boys play when hres oc'
cur.
No Attack On the Volunteers.
The Argus made no attack on tn,
volunteers who sought to save tn,
dwelling that caught fire yesterday
morning. 1t simply said more water
was used than would have beer

When it comes down to facts the onl,

arrived, he says he had a couple o

put it out. This would have bee
the course of the paid department il
the first place had there been com
Ipany near enough to have been sen

volunteers should do as good wor
as paid firemen. and it is not belitt
ing the efforts of the former to a:
sert that except in extraordinary Gil
cumstances they should await til
arrival of the chief before maxim
indiscriminatc use of water. and this
, pending such time as the cOunc
provides the two companies so niue
needed, there should be an unde
standing between the chief and til
