posture of Shirt Sleeves.
District Commissioner Mcfarland, who
has immediate supervision Of the fire de-
partment, has received a letter from Mr..
Charles A. Conant relative to the summer
coats worn by members Of the department.
AS Mr.. Conant is informed. the firemen are
required to wear in summer heavy wooden
coats, with Innings, and with pockets on
the inside. This, he thinks. is not only
uncomfortable and inconvenient to the men,
but also compels them to sit much Of the
time in public view in their shirt sleeves,
where the most Of them would be glad to
wear a proper summer coat, one not I'M
bearably hot. Such a coat a subStf-
tute for the one heretofore worn in the
summer would, he believes, be appreciated
by most of the men and would also make
them more presentable to the public.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Macfarland
views the suggestion with favor, but is of
the opinion that to carry it into effect
would necessitate the purchase by the fire.
men of an extra coat. In view Of the
small pay received by them he is reluctant
to advocate an extra coat but states that
If the men would, for the sake of their
comfort in hot weather, be willing to bear
the extra expense involved, he would be
glad to recommend the required amend
ment of the regulations. The Commission
er agrees with Mr.. Conant that 1t Is not
agreeable to the public to have the men
sit in front Of their quarters in their shirt
sleeves.
