The news of the chiefs suspension
was spread very quickly and rumors
were plentiful as to the probable cause.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the gross neglect of duty means
nothing more nor less than the chief S
absence from the fire on Wednesday
night. OF course. the chief was at
tending the meeting of the legislative
committee on municipal laws and
working in the interest of the fire and
police bill when the fire broke out, but
there seems to be no specific rule re-
quiring the chief to be present at all
fires. Moreover, in the instance of
Wednesday nights fire, the chief did
go up town, but being notified that 1t
was nothing more than blaze, he re-
turned to the committee rooms. An
examination of the records discloses
the fact that Mr.. Devine has been alb
sent from several fires during the past
two years, though none of them were
of very serious nature.
