T HE DECISION of the re-
curder, reached after II con-
Il ference of parties in interest
and II thorough discussion
Of existing needs to Withdraw his con-
tcmplatcd veto. of the reorganization
ordinance. and tp commit to I, supple
incntalN ordinance such changes and
additions as are required to bring the
original measure into conformity with
The charter, inslres, among other
things, a paid regular fire depart
nent, that can, with proper super
vision and control, be made obedi
cnt and efficient. We assume that the
director Vi public safety will, without
fear or favor. take whatever steps
shall appear to him to be necessary to
enforce such control. In 50 doing he
will deserve to be sustained by public
opinion.
The property owners OF Scranton are
paying at the rate of from $4,000 10
$lO0,0Go I, year in excess fire insurance
premiums largely because of the dis
organization which has prevailed in
the local fire department. How much
OF this has been due to faulty svs-
tcm and how much to faulty control is
question concerning which there is
no positive information. But the clear
need Of the situation. in any event, is
for Il paid department absolutely sub
ordinate in all its parts to the chief at
its head. Never again should it have
to be confessed by a chief in a Scran-
ton uniform, as it was recently con-
fcSscd by one, that at Il critical fire
which destroyed some of our finest
business blocks and threatened for a
time The safety of the city he was un-
bic to enforce the necessary obedience
to orders. Mere gallantry OF individual
heroism and industry at a fire cannot
take the place of system and expert
knowledge of what to do. Discipline
and Subprdination are Imperative.
There is, we tcel sure, on the part of
the new administration, no personal
leelins IN this matter and no wish to
= tread on anybody's toes for the sake
OF showing power, hut simply IL firm
determination to hew to the line. let
tIng the chips fall where they may.
The Scranton fire department must be
come the best in the land
