THE AMBITION of a great msjority OF
men to become public servants was never
more plainly illustrated than at the meet
ing last night, of the Board of Fire War
dens. The position of driver of the Re-
lance hose wagon was to be filled, and
number of young men were aspirants fol
the place, the salary Of which is $45 pei
month. The duties of driver virtually
consume all mans time, as he is COM
pt ed to be at the engine house night
and dsy, Sundays included. 1t would
seem that in these days, when mechanic;
and laborers are in demand, that men
would seek more remunerative employ
meut than that paid drivers of hose
wagons. Such would, at least, have
more time to themselves and certainly
enjoy more independence.
