AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
Commissioners Address Com

Private Practice Not to Interfere
With Public Duties-A Bible Pre-
scented to TenleytOwn Engine
Company-ScheduIc of MIX Fees.

The Commissioners yesterday, through
their secretary, communicated with the
members of the Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons, enclosing a copy OF the recent
report from the Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department and calling their atten-
tion to the regulations which are laid
down TO guide their actions. The meTn-
bers o; the board were informed by Sec
retary Tindall as follows:
That your paramount duty while
surgeon Of the Police and Fire Depart
ments is TO render medical and surgical
care and aid to all members Of those de-
partmeHts in need of such assistance,
and that a prompt performance of this
duty must not be secondary to your pri-
vate practice
Since the publication of Chief Engineer
buttons report upon the complaint raised
by Foreman kuhns relative to the action
of the surgeons in refusing to attend
the watchman Of No. Engine Company,
several facts have come TO light which
give additional interest to the assertion
of DIR. Clifton Mayfield that the remune-
ration of the surgeons. $40 year, is
not sufficient to enable them to place the
care and aid to the firemen before their
private practice. One fact that has de-
veloped. is that when the last appoint
ment was made to the Board Of Surgeons
there was great competition for the place,
and that the successful incumbent worked
very hard to secure the appointment. The
remuneration. then $3.50 a year, was
thought sufficient to prompt him to put
forth considerable effort to obtain it.
Another fact is that there are now on file
in the office of the Commissioners 100 ap-
piicauons for appointment to the Board
of Surgeons whenever there is a vacancy.
third fact Is that the watchmen in
the Fire Department receive only 5000
per annum, or only $50 more for full time
than the surgeon for spending only few
hours each week in the service of the
department.
