The City Council Of Colorado Springs
in executive session has asked the res
i2Ration Of Chief Of the Fire Depart
fnent Baty. The vote stood, with the
mayor voting. s to 3 In favor Of ACCEPT
ing the resignation. The mayor and
Aldermen Capell and Mcintyre voted
against II. The City Council has been
making an investigation OF the fire de
partment for the last TWO or three
weeks, great portion Of the time be-
hind closed doors. The general charge
against the chief was Inalfeasance in
Office. Among other things. II was
charged, though not proved, that Baty

II Is probable that there win be an en-
tire reorganization Of the fire depart
nent, as there are charges hanging
over the heads Of several other mem-
bers.
