FIRE COMMISSIONERS POWERS
ARE DISCUSSED AT OSHKOSH
The Northwestern Publishes Opinions Favorable To Views OF
Mantowoc Board Regarding Rules


lieu OF all fees or other compensation
other than rewards offered for the cap
ture OF criminals. 1t also provides
that no provisions of the law shall be
construed ~ preventing the common
council from granting retired brennan
or policeman a p hslon, but does moi
grant to that body i'll so many words
the right to make rules and regulations
regarding the conduct Of the men.
Boards Suspending Powers
In fact the matter of final authority
came up in the matter of the attempted
removal of the late Chief OF Police Il d.
Weisbrod, when the board refused to
discharge him when suspended by the
mayor The statute provides that
when the chief of police and chief en-
ginte OF the fire department shall have
been appointed under its provisions
they shall remain in Office during good
behavior except that they may be snS-
pended for cause The men under
them may be suspended 10y the chiefs
for. cause and the matter shall at once
be reported to the board which shall
give the man IL hearing, permit him To
hear the charges and to present his de
Tense. This rule applies also to the
chiefs. The men may then be- suspended
or not according to the testimony offer
ed except that the board may, if it
deems it for the best interests of the
departments suspend a man indefinitely
or for stated period, specifying the
reasons for such action. The law also
states that such action by the board
shall he final and conclusive.
Thinks Board Should Make Rules
Therefore Mr. Macdonald is of the
opinion that to grant to the council the
right to make rules would cause con
fusion at least The board being the
tribunal Of last resort, rules SO made
by the council might not be upheld by
the board and confusion of the greatest
kind might follow For such reasons,
together with the wording Of the law,
Mr. Macdonald is Of the opinion that
the board has the right 10 make rules
and regulations. This it has done,
making them in accordance with the
suggestions Of the chiefs, who by ex-
perience have learned what rules are
necessary for the proper government or
their departments.

Opinions At Oshkosh

This view il not accepted by all OF

siderable thought and he says that in
his opinion the law contemplates that
the board shall have authority in the
matter of adopting ruler, although it
IL not so specifically stated. The law,
however, seems to contemplate that the
board shall have complete jurisdiction
and says that it shall prepare and

SOME MISTAKES.

To give q wife an exaggerated Idea
Of your income.
To refuse to receive an apology for
an ordinary affrOnt.
To toss aside suggestion without
giving it some consideration.
To expect generosity when you ex-
hibit only selfshness to others.
To think the world Is big enough In
which to bury entirely bad record.
To speak of the misfortunes OF 9TH
ers until the cause therefor is known.
To cry down the man who succeeded
I'm that which brought failure to you.
To speak slightingly Of woman be-
cause she turned her eyes the other
way.
To carry the head so high as to pre-
vent an occasional glance at the com
monplaces.
To go about fretting as though the
hand Of mankind had been raised
against you.
