DAY OFF WITHOUT PAY
BOARD OF SAFETY ADOPTS NEW
RULES FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Board Discusses Suburban Revenues
Or's Cabinet-MunicipaI Notes.

Whatever the annexation of the suburbs
may have added to the strength of the city
in the number of its inhabitants and its
territory, it was not profitable financial
investment for the city. At a meeting of
the Board of Public Safety yesterday it
was srrikingly shown that the suburbs have
not been entirely self-supporting. In order
to meet the financial deficiency the Board
of Public Safety found it necessary to make
the men of the fire department suffer. An
order was issued that from June l until
further notice is given firemen shall have
one day off each week without pay Here
tofore they have been allowed one day a
week to themselves and no deduction mas
been made from their wages.
When the suburbs were annexed it was
found necessary to build more engine
houses equip them with apparatus and in
crease the number of companies of firemen.
The expense has not been met by the reve-
nue. to the city from the suburbs The
deficiency for the last year is about 81 900.
The Board of Public Safety yesterday
faced The serious problem of how TO re-
duce this deficiency in way that would
cause the least Inconvenience to the fire de-
partment. The plan explained above was
settled on as the one that would work less
gested. The firemen will still have weeks
vacation each year with continuation of
pay The only alternative was to lay off or
| discharge enough members of the depart
ment to make up in the reduced pay roll
the deficiency. This it was felt could not
be afforded, for it would correspondingly re-
duce the efficiency of the department 1t
has been calculated that the plan adopted
will by the end of the year reduce entirely
the deficiency. The order was transmitted
to Chief Barrett.
The Board of Safety ordered Yesterday
that hereafter members OF the police and
fire departments who are fined must re-
main on duty while their fines are being
exacted Heretofore they have laid off. The
first case to come under the new order is
that of Anthony O'Hara, a member of hose
company No II. He was found guilty yes
terday of absenting himself from duty
without leave and was fined fifteen days
pay. A reprimand accompanied the fine
that if he is again found guilty of an in
fraction of the rules he will be dismissed
from the department.
