to change the system of street lighting
in the city.
The committee started in but at the
outset it was found that is was ham

lighting concern shall locate in any

Authority Of Chief Engineer.

AT the time of the Reynolds fire in
Winslow. recently. the steamer COM
pany from this city was called and
Chief Plaisted went over to the fire
with the company. Assistant Engi-
| neer Thomas was also present. The
steamer was set at the mouth Of the
SebasticoOk and 1900 feet of hose was
necessary to reach the burning build
ing. OF course the pressure was great
in order to get an effective stream at
work on the fire. The fremen were
rapidly getting advantage of the
flames when suddenly the stream
failed them and examination showed a
break in a length of hose that crossed
he main road. There We're tracks that
indicated that heavy team had
passed over the hose. Just before the
break occurred Chief Engineer
Plaisted discovered team driven by
Charles l.. Topper about to cross the
hose and the chief ordered Upper to
hold up. Topper did so, but, later on,
drove over the hose, the calk of the
horse shoe cutting into and through
the cover causing the hose TO burst.
At this time the firemen had settled
the question of saving the main house,
hut il required over half an hour to
send the hose team back to Water
willie for more hose which was neces-
sary to reach the flames. The fire be
ing then given a fresh impetus gained
considerable Roadway, SO that when
the firemen got to work again the
main house vas doomed to total loss.
Chief Plajsted has no desire to be
Iiai mt decided a that
there has been too little regard given
the authority vested in an engineer in
charge of a fire. Men who from
familiarity with the officers or perhaps
he cause they may he prominent in cef-
tain circles. think they have q right To
ignore authority and that imperative
orders are intended for somebody else.
II is not an uncommon thing 20 see
citizens breaking through the fire lines
and driving through streets that are
for the time being subject to the or
ders Of the engineer In charge Of a
fire. thus often. perhaps. hamporIng
the movement and manipulation of th,
apparatus. \ fire chief is given au-
thoriiy enough to make him a very
arbitrary person If he should choose to
to be and there is no higher authority
than his during fire.
10 protect himself and the props rty
owners who look 10 him and his de-
partment for protection. Chief Plaisted
has felt obliged to ask the grand jury
Of the present term OF the supreme
court 10 find an indictment against
Mr.. Tupper. which the grand jury has
done. As stated above. Chief Plaisted
says that he has no desire to prosecute
Mr.. Topper. but must protect himself
for the fact remains that greater
damage ensued from the bursting of
that particular piece of hose than
would have been had the work of the
firemen not been interrupted. The
action is brought more TO prove the
rights Of authority Of the engineer in
charge of a fire than to prosecute Mr.
Tupper.
