 Lieut. Reilly was fined $1O for tell ing MT HalIock to call up the chief on the telephone and report the fire instead of calling up the chief him self. He admitted to the board last night that he had erred in giving the answer that he did, but he had not taken out his company to put out the fire because he knew that the services of a hose company was need ed. t
 Captain Daley was fined $50 for not responding to a still alarm four hours after the report by MT. Hal lock to the lieutenant.

 Beecher was as wild as the pro verbal March hare. Scarcely one of his blows landed. His tactics amount ed to swinging and c1inching- What blows he did land were weak. It's a thousand pities that Smith did not wear his spectacles in the ring Had he done so his eyes would have been perfectly safe, for Beecher's blows were not hard enough to break the glasses.

DRASTIC PENALTIES
 FOR FIREMEN WHO DID
 NOT 60 TO DUMP BLAZE

vice of the fire engine in pumping out the steamer City of Taunton Ihe use of the steamer saved the vessel from sinking, and the commissioners were of the opinion that they would prefer to let the company make free will offering rather than send bill for service.
 Captain Madden of No. 2 engine company petitioned the board to al low him three hours off at one time each day instead of three separate hours for meals. He lives in East Bridgeport and cannot make the trip in the regular time. The matter was left in the hands of President Craw- ford.
 The reports from the various fire engine houses show a variance Of from 2 to 10 minutes in the time that alarms are received. The chief re- commended to the board that synchronizing clock system be in stalled so as to have the time the same in all stations.
 The sum of S2,25O is necessary tO lay a cement floor in No. engine house and Commissioner Wheeler, who has the matter in charge stated that there is not enough money at hand.
 It was voted to install an auto matic siren signal at East Washing ton avenue and Housatonic avenue to warn teams and trolley cars of the approach of apparatus.
 Chief Mooney sent a comuunica- ton to the board asking that an au- tomobile fire engine be purchased at once. He has received a, report from Meriden to the effect that the engine had responded to five alarms at an expense of $6. The commissioners have the matter in hand and will de- eide in few days upon the type of engine they will purchase. Callman Charley Farley of No. engine com pany who has not been responding to alarms regularly was ordered to cause why he should not be dismiss ed from the department.

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Bridgeport Farmer. sfr:- I would like to make a suggestion in regard to K. of c. parade Wednes- day, Oct. 12. Instead of a double parade on Main street why not give our visitors a chance to see some Of the pretty parts of our city by going over Washington avenue from Bull & Head, to Park and then to Main street and the rest of the line of march. This would give a larger number of people, who might be un- able otherwise, to see the parade and also give a better impression of our city to the large number of visitors.
