The practice of docking firemen

fire commissioners TO be acted upon at
today's meeting, which declares that
firemen are paid. under the charter, by
the year and not by the day. Thus
the monthly pay day is simply mat

that a fireman should not be penalized
for a misfortune.

through exposure on duty, is treated
as If for breach of discipline.
1t has been the practice in the past
for the fireman off duty TO pay his sub

does away with the making out of
separate warrants. but destroys the
record of the money saved the depart

Chief Shaughnessy's annual report
recently filed with the mayor shows
$4,000 surplus in the salary allowance
for the last year. But much of this
saving goes to make up deficits in other
