When the fire department meets
Wednesday evening at the city hall
next week, the reorganization of the
| Junction fire company will probably be
the feature. According to one of the
| fire department officials, the Junction
companys books are demoralized and
| they have no bylaws to work under.
| When a special meeting was called
| recently personal letter was sent to
each member of the junction company
with the result that not one member
was present at the meeting, which was
held for the purpose of aiding the
Junction and West Side companies in
bringing the bylaws before each mem
Der The West Side responded to the
call and are now drawing up a new
set of bylaws and have paved the way
to making that company one of the
best in the city. The Junction com
pany, however, it is said, have no way
of telling which member is an active
member of the department. This has
already resulted in inactive members
getting exempt papers from serving on
juries and from poll tax. A special
meeting of the officers will probably
be called shortly and this matter will
very likely be discussed and arrange
ments for some systematic fire COM
pany at the Junction be made.
