ASSISTANT CHIEF
BARRY REINSTATED,
Returned to His Former Head
quarters by Order of Chief If
Fire Department Swinglcy.

John +. Barry, Assistant Chief Of the
Fire Department who was summarily dis
missed from the service a short while ago.
was relnstated yesterday by Chief OF the
Fire Department Swingley. Mr.. Barry will
resume his former duties. with headquar-
ters. as before. at Engine-house No. q. at
No. 3il7 Manchester avenue. Chief Swing
ley was not disposed to discuss his reason
for renstating Mr.. Barry.
Mr.. Barry is one of the most popular
men in the Fire Department. having been
In the service for more than quarter of
n century. With O'Toole and Hester, he
distinguished himself in the Southern Hotel
fire. His record is said to be exceptionally
good.
Assistant Chief Benjamin Faith. who re-
signed the same day Of Mr.. Barry's dis
charge. probably Will not be reinstated.
Chief Swingley said Mr.. Faith resigned on
account of bad health. 1t Is not known that
Mr. Faith made any effort to get back in
the department.
When Mr.. Barry was discharged the pre-
vail!ng opinion was that the Chief Of the
Fire Department has supreme power and
may discharge an assistant at any time.
It seems. however. that Assistant Chiefs
cannot be removed excepting for sufficient
cause. The term of employment of an As
cistant Chief Is one yeaT, and, according to
a recent opinion of former City Counselor
Schnurmacner. a deputy engaged by the
year cannot be removed until the end of
the term.
