man ever since its organization. has re-
signed and affairs in the company are in
a most unsettled condition. 1t all came
about because the Town Board at its
meeting last Monday evening refused to
honor bill of between So and 81, which
was presented by Borkheim for supplies.
Not having the support Of the Town
Board the foreman decided that the best
place for him was outside the company.
and so the next morning he offered his
resignation. Since that time the COM

they got through with them.
This extraordinary proceeding aroused
the inquiry of all West Berkeley. Every
one knew that the mem bers of the COM
pany turned out in a body and that they
worked vigorously, but were at a loss to
know why they left the hose lying in the
street. Next morning the cart and hose
were hauled back 10 the firehouse by the
town wagon. Inquiry into the case has
disclosed the fact that the mem bers of the
company would not act because they did
not have leader. and that by such
movement they would cast shadow of

The dress was perfectly plain, save for a

disapproval on the Town Trustees, who
had apparently caused the resignation OF
their foreman by not honoring bill for
needed supplies.
A mass. meeting of the company has
been called for next Wednesday evening,
when resolutions condemning the action
Of the Town Board will be brought up for
passage. All West Berkeley is concerned
in the affair because of the places OF
prominence in that community which the
revolving members OF the com pany occupy
and because of the former difficulties OF a
similar nature which have arisen between
the various hose companies and the. Trus-
tees. The company will make this test
case, and will endeavor to find out just
what authority the foreman OF ompany
has and has not with regard to the order
ing OF supplies.
The result of the present difficulty will
be far-reaching in its effect, since there
are seven similar volunt eer fire companies
in Berkeley, all OF which are governed by
virtually the same laws and have the same
relations with the Board of Trustees.
1t 10 thought that the long disputed
question of electing Fire Chief in Berke-
ley. to have control over all the COM
panies and TO be under the direct super
vision of the Town Board, will be brought
up again before the present fight is at an
end.
