Fire Department..

1t IS CLAIMED by some that
recent reports of the fire de-
partment committee to the city
council foreshadow an attem pt
to abolish the present volunteer
department and to substitute in
its stead a paid, or a part paid,
department,
1t is further alleged that the
moving thought with those who
are urging this change upon the
mem bers Of the fire department
com mittee is to lay hands upon
the 5000 now in the fremen $
relief fund.
The present fire department
has a record for efficiency IN.
excelled by that Of any depart
ment in the state of Minnesota.
Its members have shown a zeal
and an esprit de corps possible
only to a volunteer organization
composed of members who are
themselves property owners and
who give their services for the
benefit Of the city rather than
for the small sum which they re-
ceive per capita for attendance at
fires. The maintenance of this
volunteer fire department. has
been accomplished at the least
possible expense. A paid de-
partment will certainly cost
more money and cannot possibly
he more effective, indeed it is
doubtful if a paid department
could do as good work as the
present volunteer department.
There are no cities of the size
of Bemidji that we know of that
attempt to maintain paid fire
department. Cities of two, three
and four times the size of Be-
midi depend entirely upon a
volunteer depar tment, volun-
teer organization being universal
ly found to be che a per and n ore
effective.
