STATEMENT BY
 PRESIDENT BILLIARD
 OPPOSING INCREASE

At a meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners held Friday, Sept. 10, there was presented for our considera- ton a petition from a committee of the members of the Bridgeport fire department asking our approval to an application for increased pay, which had been presented to the honorable Common Council of the city of Bridge port.
 t'It was the unanimous vote of this board to disapprove of such increase and to present a statement to your committee giving our reasons there for.
 '.In the last five years the cost of maintenance of the fire department has increased very materially, owing to the fact that during that period there have been added five new com panies and the former, call force re- placed to very large degree by per- manent men, until we at the present time have about 70 per cent. of our en- tire force permanently employed in fire duty.
 Beginning April 1st, 1906, an ad- vance in wages was made in this de- partment equivalent to approximately 12 per cent. of the rates previously paid, and the present request is for an advance of about $2OO per aman per year, which as a whole amounts to $23, $50, or approximately 20 per cent. advance op the rates paid this current year..
 For the purpose of giving you some idea as to the rates paid in other cit ies, we attach herewith tabulated form showing wages paid in the fire depart n1ents of the 26 cities of the United States between 90,000 and 150, ,000 popu- lation as estimated January 1, 1909
 "A study of this table will show you that the city of Bridgeport is paying in excess of the. yearly average in ho .of4s G>IT
