The proposed plan Of reorganzng the
/ fire department has caused good deal
| Of discussion among the citizens OF Rich
! mond. II is understood that some of the
( commissioners, who were at first In favor
| OF the scheme. have to some extent
changed their views.
| An effort will be made in certain quar-
ters to defeat the plan. and a good deal
OF iog-rollng and wire-puling may be
| expected until the next meeting of the
| Board Of Fire Commissioners. which,
/ however. will only take place after
! successor to Mr.. Frank =. Burke, the
| representative OF Clay ward, has been
| elected.
| 1t is said that the advocates Of the
! reorganization fear now that the proposed
| plan will not be adopted.
The effect Of the plan proposed would
be to give 10 the city eight full-paid com
panles. or. IN other words, to increase
the number Of men who will give their
! whole time TO the department from forty
10 eighty and to reduce the NUMBER Oh
| runners to about thirty. The pan con
TEMPLATES also. paid foremen for eacn
co,,,nanv and y reduction Of the salaries
Of the runners from $50 to $o per nio"'"'
