Many officers Of the Fire Department united
in sending flowers to Fire Chief Edward r
Croker yesterday. They sent many that his
office at Fire Headquarters in East Sixty-sev-

tensible reason for many fragrant gifts was
the fact that Chief Croker had been fireman
eighteen years. He appointed member OF

Sunday.
The chief reason for celebrating the ami
