FAVOR NEW REGIME,
Trustees OF Volunteer Fire Department
In Annual Session Favor System
of Call Men.
$500 FOR EACH VOLUNTEER.
Trustees Have Stormy Session But They
VIII Ask the General Meeting to Dis
cuss the Proposed Change.

By vote of twelve to six the trus-
tees of the Kenosha Volunteer Fire
Department last night decided in favor
of paid department in Kenosha and
the retirement Of the old time volun-
teers. The meeting was stormy one
and many of the old time fremen who
had for years worn the shield of FIRE
man opposed the proposed action of
the council. There was touch of
sentiment about the matter and there
is no wonder that some of the old boys
who have been in the FIRE service for
ten, twenty, thirty and even forty
years are a little unwilling to give up
the honors they have borne so well to
few hirelings. President Wallis of
the board of trustees proved to be one
of the bitter opponents of the action
and he was ably supported by nearly
all the officers of theivolunteer organ
izations.
John c.. Slater, who has been a
fireman almost as long as any man in
kenosha, was a firm believer in the
proposed change and he addressed the
trustees and showed what was to be
gained by the city by the change from
the volunteer force to paid force. It
is evident that Mr.. Slater managed to
convince large ma jority of the trus-
tees for when the final ballot was
taken to refer the matter to the gener-
al meeting of the department ma jor-
ity of twelve to six favored the change.
Many of the old time members remain
ed firm in their opposition to the plan
and there is sure to be fight when
the general meeting is held.
The sentiment of the trustees seems
to be the sentiment of the department
and there is about two to one ia favor
of the change. No one is DESTROYS of
removing any of the glory from the
firemen who have served so long and
so well and there is no reason to ask
for their retirement save that found in
the fact that It is considered better for
the city to have small paid depart
ment.
AT the meeting of the trustees an
appropriation of twenty-five dollars
was taken from the benefit fund for
John Milward, one of the best known
members of the department, who has
been i'll for many months. The trus-
tees also divided among the volunteers
the annual fund and il was sufficiently
large to allow the sum of SIS for each
of the memb ers Of the department.
It is thought that quite number of
the members of the department will re-
fund the amount allowed to them and
in this manner the benefit fund will be
enlarged. The money will be paid out
after the general meeting of the de-
partment which will be held in anosh-
er week.

and MIR. Cox's body was badly mashed. Mr..
Cox, was one Of the most successful
engineers of the SAL and had been with
that road for ten years or more and during

unnsal ability, he worked himself up. he
was a young man who was OF sterling worth
and was making mark for himself
