CHIEEePARRlS OBJECTS
RECOMMENDS THAT REQUEST OF
ENGINE COMPANY BE DENIED.
Petitioned for "Day or and Asked to
BE Allowed to Play
Games.

Mr.. Joseph Paris, the chief engineer OF
the District fire department, has recon-
nended to the Commissioners that the petit
ton presented to them last week by the
members Of No. engine company be de-
MED. The men explained In their petition
that they are not allowed their day or
because two members OF the company are
sick, although nine men would even then
be on duty. They referred to the fact that
section 80 of article II Of the rules aid
regulations governing the department pro-
vides that "all members shall be allowed
off every sixth day, but the meal hours
and days off shall be SO arranged tnat at
all times there shall be seven men on duty
at each house"
The men Of No 8. including their fore
man. John A. Walsh, also petitioned the
Commissioners to be allowed to play cards
and other games on the engine room floor.
and Mr. Paris has recommended that this
privilege be denied them.
All Are Interested. @,
Not only are the members of No. COM
pany greatly interested in this matter, but
all the other members of the department.
1t is said. as It is claimed that an adverse
decision in this case will, so far at least
as their day off, is concerned, affect all
other companies. At the present time the
strength Of every company in the depart
ment is increased by at least two men, 1t
Is claimed by the men, owing to the fact
that the men appointed July to man the
truck companies to be located in George
town and Columbia Heights and the chemi-
cal engine company to be stationed In Ten
leytown are distributed among the several
existing companies. The house for the
Georgetown truck company will be COM
pleted. it Is expected, about the first of
October. while the other two houses are in
the first stages of construction, and will
hardly be ready for occupancy before the
first Of January or February. Because OF
this temporary increase in the strength of
the existing companies the Commissioners,
upon the suggestion of Commissioner Mac
farland. who has immediate supervision of
the fire department. allowed the firemen
whereas heretofore they had been allowed
but ten days. The law grants them an
annual leave of not more than twenty days,
In the discretion of the Commissioners.
The members of the department. 1t is
stated. contend that II this temporary in
crease in the strength of the existing COM
panies warranted the Commissioners in
granting them five days additional leave
this summer, 1T is only just and fair that
the same consideration shall govern the
allowance of days off, especially, as they
claim. the granting of such privilege
would not reduce the strength of COM
pany at the present time below the mini
mum number seven men. When their day
off, is taken from them, say the men, they
are only allowed to leave quarters for the
purpose of getting their meals.
The whole matter, 1t is understood, Is
under consideration by the Commissioners,
but it is said to be doubtful II final action
will be taken until the return to the city
of Commissioner Macfarland.
