the board of fire underwriters of the Dis
trict, and secretary Of the Firemen's Insur-
ance Company of Washington and George

they would take immediate action to petit
ton Congress not to retain the provision
in the appropriation bill that the head Of
the fire department shall be a fireman Of at
least five years experience.
Mr.. Howard stated to the Commissioners
that Chief buttons administration Of the
fire department had been eminently salts
factory and gratifying to the insurance in
terests of the District. He said he believed
the same would be said by representatives
of all classes Of business men and resi-
dents. If Mr.. Dutton were to leave the de-
partment as a result of the legislation pro-
posed by the House subcommittee, Mr..
Howard thought the District would suffer a
distinct loss. Without exception, he said.
the officers and men in the department de-
clare they have received more considera-
ton from Mr.. Dutton and had benefited
by his administration Of affairs more during
the last two years than at any time during
their service in the department.
Mr.. Max Cohen, prominent local 1nsur-
ance man and editor of Views, leading
insurance journal, declared today that his
paper would strongly condemn any legisla-
ton which would result in the severance OF
Mr.. buttons connection with the depart
ment.
