FIRE COMMISSIONERS
AFTER SUPERVISORS

The finance committee of the Board
OF Supervisors came in for another
scoring by Commissioner Parry yes
terday afternoon. The cause of Par
rvs Outburst was a suggestion from
the Supervisors that certain bills for
beds supplied to the firehOuses and
for extra fire badges would be allowed
this time, providing the Fire Commits
siOners should promise TO obey the
law in the future. Parry said that the
Fire Commissioners were not respOn-
sibIe TO the bunch of old hens" as he
called them.
Some time ago the Fire Commits
sioners awarded contracts for sup
plies, the cost Of which exceeded in the
aggregate $3.50. the limit set by the
charter for such expenditures.
The matter was referred TO the City
Attorney for an opinion as to the Su-
pervisors' right to interfere with the
contract supply bills Of the Fire Board.
The charter provides for 225 fire
badges. This number excluded those
allowed to underwriters and outside
companies. The Commissioners dectd-
ed to call in these extra badges and
issue 100 more so that all fire badges
should be alike. The bills for the ex-
ira hundred have been held up by the
Supervisors.
The question OF interfering with the
new underground fire alarm system by
attaching the auxiliary boxes is in the
hands of Chief Hewitt and Will be up
for consideration at the meeting OF the
Board of Electricity.
