Volunteers PRAISED.
Chief Zizelmann Not so Compliment
tary in Referring to the Paid
Men Of the Department.

chief +. W. Iizelmanr. OF the fire
department in a report on the big
Lackawanna avenue fire, which was
sent into select council last night by
Mayor Moir. says some very compli-
mentary things about the volunteer
firemen and some very uncompllment-
airy things about the permanent men.
After detailing at some length the
origin Of the fire and its spread, he
answers the criticism that he had
spent nearly all the time at the fire
running the Nay Aug engine by say
ing that he arose from a sick bed to
respond to the alarm and that he be-
came SO chilled that he was obliged to
60 to the engine to get himself warm.
Among other things he says the fire
shows the need Of having the labyrinth
Of deadly electric wires in the central
part of the city buried underground,
and the necessity OF the immediate
purchase of a new hook and ladder
truck to take the place Of the present
ramshackle piece of apparatus which,
he says, the most expert fireman In
the city could not raise in less than
fre minutes.
The chief asserts in the report that
the fire in the building at 32S Lacka-
wanna avenue, owned by r. Morris,
was almost certainly OF incendiary
origin and he recommends that coun-
ellis direct the chief OF police to order
a thorough investigation Of the case.
He refers to the fact that there is
need OF the immediate adoption of
more stringent rules governing the
conduct Of the permanent men of the
department. Under existing rules he
has very little control over them, he
says. and continues: Some of the
permanent men realizing this take de-
light In doing just what they should
not do" The report concludes as fol-
lows:
I'm conclusion. ! beg leave to state
that while It Is to he regretted that
better work was not accomplished dur
ing the early stages of the fire. the
volunteer tircmcn deserve great credit
for the noble manner in which they
sacrificed their health during the on
tire afternoon and all Of tho night of
February s. With the thirty perna-
nent men which tho city boasts of and
two of them rendered helpless at once
by falling ladders. il can he seen at a
glance tina whatever was accomplished
was the work of the volunteer fire.
men"
Mayor Moir accompanied the chiefs
report with letter of recommendation
of his own. He referred to the fact
that tho water pressure was entirely
too low at the outset of the fire, but
II increased at the end. he said. He
states that the fire showed the need of
purchasing a new hook and laddo,
truck, new No. engine and bie
supply of pockets to cover the breaks
IN the hose" The firemcn. he says, are
deserving of the highest praise for
their conduct. He further states tina,
he is firmly impressed with the neces-
! sity Of reorganizing the department,
upon paid lines.
