FIREMEN'S RELIEF.
Associations Constitution Now in
OpCration.-It became Eticc.
tive on June q.

At last nights regular monthly meet
ing of the Scranton Fncmcns Relief
association, City Solicitor McGinlcy
was present and reported that the
constitution of the association had
been operating since June 6 on which
date the charter was granted by the
state. Since that date no accident or
sickness involving an Appropriation
from the fund has been reported.
Mr.. Mckinley Informed the associa-
tion for City Controller Robinson that
the latter had countersigned the war
rant for the fund and presented it to
the city clerk for delivery to the aSso-
citation treasurer.
A. Il. Holmes, f. w. Warnke and
Charles SimreIl. a special committee,
reported a resolution providing for an
initiation fee of 81 for members of
the few companies who had declined
to become charter members, as bodies,
of the association. The resolution was
,stuutly opposed by Messrs. Long, Cos
tello, Muir and Hertz
Mr.. Long held that the resolution
was counter to the constitution; aside
from that feature he did not think
the association should show any con-
sideratior for the members of any
company that had refused to join the
association in a body.
The discussion raised the point that
active firemer who We're non members
of the association might secure bene-
fits from the fund by law. City Soil
ctOr mckinley. in response to ques-
| tion. thought this possibly could I've
removed by an amendment to the con
| stitutior. The matter was referred e
| him for an opinion. and. if it is as in
| dicatcd in his view last night. action
may be taken permitting individual
| memberships from the companies nov
| out of the fold.
Secretary Emil Bonn was directed t
| notify the recently appointed district
| physicians that their services might
be required at any time. 1t was de-
| cided to pay the physicians a fee OF
81 for each visit and a report to Chic
| Hickey, the president of the associa
tion, a physician to make but one
visit i'm each case excepting wher
otherwise directed and then for Only
the purpose of observation.
