MARTIN NfHFR Is MADE
AN HONORARY FIREMAN
Member Of Hancock Department
Is Placed on Retired List
Of Department.
FIREMEN DISCUSS QUESTIONS

The regular monthly session OF the
Hancock fire department was held last
evening at the city hail. and several
matters of interest were considered,
besides the transaction Of the regular
routine business.
Martin Neher, a member of the de-
partment for nearly twenty years was
last night taken from the pay roll as
an active fireman and placed on the
retired list as an honorary member.
This action was taken on account of
the removal Of Mr.. Neher to Crosse
construction work at the new Dupont
powder plant. Mr.. Neher joined the
department between fifteen and twenty
years ago, as one of the city Transfers
in which capacity he drove the fire
teams to many fires. After his resig
nation as city employee four or five
years ago, he became a regular mem
Der of the volunteer fire company, and
has been one OF the most active and ef-
ficient workers.
Ii is probable that at the next regu-
lar meeting to be held i'm January, a
new member of the fire department
will be elected to fill the vacancy.
Complaints were made last night by
some of the firemen that the teams are
driven too slowly on returning from a
fire. Most of the fire fighters return
on the apparatus, and being chilled
and wet through in many cases are
DESTROYS of reaching their homes and
changing their garments in the quick
est time possible in order to avert the
danger of catching colds. One fireman
thought that the teams were not driven
fast enough on the level streets in go
ing to a fire, but this contention had
little support In fact attention was
called to the fact that at recent
meeting of the council DIR. Scallon had
expressed the opinion that the horses
were driven too fast, for grand stand
effect, and that they arrived at a fire
i'm such a heated state that there is
danger of serious consequences to the
animals from chills and exposure. 1t
is probable that a meeting of the chief
of the fire department, Mayor James
and the fire and water committee of
the council, may be held soon to take
up the question Of how the horses
should be driven, both returning from
and going to fire.
One member of the fire department
this morning thought that the danger
of chilling the horses might be avoided
to some extent by unhitching them and
walking them up and down while the
hremen are busy and they would there
by be in better shape for the return
trip to town. lsft
Chief Mitchell, in his capacity of fire
recently received some COM
plants that houses that were being
erected in West Hancock were not be-
ing equipped with fue Innings as re-
CURED by the city engineers. Mr..
made a visit of inspection to
West Hancock and found that all the
houses recently built or under con-
struction had complied with the re-
quirements, all having the necessary
hue Innings and being built throughout
in most satisfactory manner.
