QUARTERLY MEETING
 PHOENIX FIRE DEPT.
It Was an Enthusiastic One and Many Reforms Were Discussed and Undertaken.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Phoenix fire department held last night was an enthusiastic one and was largely attended. Better still some good work was done. or at least initiated. The meeting was y-e- sided over by President Paul Kruger. who delivered his inaugural" address, and Secretary Shott was promptly on hand with the minutes and business of the hour as he has been for the last seventy-five years, or at least so far back people have quit keeping the record of his incumbency
 The address of the president was devoted very largely to suggestions of methods by which the organization may be greatly benefited and the suggestions were acted upon with great deal more alacrity than con gress shows in its treatment of mes sages from the executive. About everything good that the president hinted at was taken up with a vim that will doubtless work many de pertinent reforms.
 One thing was the remodeling of the constitution and bylaws which have been outgrcwn. They were con structed in the elder days when the apparatus was drawn by men. and many of the provisions are now in applicable, impossible or useless. The president, who is ex-officio chairman of, all committees. appointed as a by law committee, II. w Taffee of Vic tor hose company, j. M. Melendrez .of Yucatec hose company, Stanley NJ. Porter of the chemical company. Q. F. Belias of Pioneer hose company, Roy Mccarthy of the Five Points company. and Robert Fromm of the engine company.
 The departments finances were dis cussed and the proposition to pur- chase a firemen's lot in cemetery was enthusiastically endorsed by a rising and unanimous vote, the fire men selecting the following commit tee to carry out the ideas of the de- partment: Claud Cisney of the Vic tor company. R. A. Bernal of Yucatec company, Dr. II. O. Ramsey of the chemical company, Leo Troutman of the Pioneer company, H. J. Bennett of the Five Points company. and J. II. Kinney of the engine company M. Kinney had started the good movement by a motion.
 A committee comprised of Ed Rup- pert Paul Kruger, l.. T. Mansfield and James Mccarthy was appointed to draft resolutions of respect to the memory of E. l.. Doheney
 In connection with the work of re- vising the bylaws. the president sug- a1 of .UI quiring a roll call of members after

each fire that there might be some kind of a check by which the really active firemen would be of record in the department. Such a rule was
 once established but fell into disuse.
 nobody knows how The purposes of it are far more than merely stimulat- ing the men to turn out to a fire. though that is a decidedly important point. But there are some benefits as well as some duties in connection with being a fireman, and the bene- fits are not numerous enough to go around. For instance there is on old law eXempting a certain number of firemen each year from school tax, jury duty. militia duty. etc. Nobody seems to know just what shape that law is in since the recent legisla ture, and whatever it's shape it has been known in times past that many members who belonged to the depart ment more to receive these benefits than anything else managed to get them, while he real firemen could not secure their exemption. The desire is that if there is but a limited num- Der of exemptions during each year they should go to those who have earned them and the other member who never attends a meeting. much less a fire. should come in and do his duty or not hide behind his exemp- tion privileges to escape civic duties, thus barring some deserving member. This is only one feature of the case and is cited for example. There are many reforms the department needs 10 bring it up to date and now that the work has been enthusiastically undertaken it should be thoroughly done.

That the people of San Francisco
are face to face with a situation
graver than that which confronted
them during the Schmitz admins

Heney sees in Calhoun's failure
himself to take the stand in the
