REPRlMANDS LIPS FOR
CRITlCISING SYSTEM
ARTICLE IN EASTERN PAPER
DENOTES OPPOSITION
Fire Chief Shows Evident Dislike Of
cregier Alarm and Is Censured
by Mayor Alexander for
Views

Mayor Alexander severely reprimand-
ed Fire Chief Lips yesterday morning
at the meeting of the fire commission
for an article appearing in the current
issue of Fire and Water Engineering,
an eastern insurance publication, over
the signature of the chief. In this ar
ticle the chief spoke slightingly of the
Cregier signal system, which the city
is preparing to install in the University
district and ridiculed N. Banks Cregier,
the inventor of the system, who-is now
in Los Angeles to supervise the install
lation.
Mr.. Cregier called the attention of
the board to the article yesterday
morning in open session. He declared
that Chief Lips was opposing him at
every point and that instead of meet
ing with cooperation in introducing
his system into Los Angeles he was
working against great odds. Mr.. Gre
gier charges that the article which he
submitted to the commission was ac-
tually written by employees of the
Gamewell Fire Alarm system. He de-
clares that it was submitted to the
local insurance paper as an anonymous
communication, but the publication re-
fused to accept it and that later it
was signed by Chief Lips and sub
mitted to the eastern magazine.
Shows Opposition to Cregier
In the article Mr. Cregier was char
acterized as a cripple who had led an
orchestra in a Chicago restaurant and
later secured employment as operator
In fire alarm office, where he evolved
his apparatus. The statement was
made that while Los Angeles was in
stalling the system it was only as an
experiment in an outlying residence
district of the city. The statements
contained in the article were true, but
they were presented in such a fashion
it was evident Mr.. Cregier and his
system did not meet the approval of
the writer, whether 1t was actually
Chief Lips of the Gamewell company,
as charged.
The mayor was plainly incensed that
the chief should accept responsibility
for the article and told the chief so
in no uncertain language.
''As a public official you had no right
to make any such statements as are
contained in this article, said the
mayor to the chief. You should be
strongly censured for this article"
The chief explained he had written
the article in reply to questions that
had been asked of him by the publi-
cation and had thought he was within
his rights.
This matter has further strained the
relations between the commission and
the chief.
