~ Eriremen's Relief Fund.
q IN accordance with the plan OF the Omaha
u department., tho firemen OF this city are
s. discussing plans for the formation of a
O. firenien's roller fund. At the present the
%, men in time of Illness or accident have no
appeal against the city for aid. 1t is pro-
aposed to- have the mayor and chief and
0 the council generally take a hand IN the
q. formation or the new society. ~ =" ,1
InSthis city. where there is admittedly
q great danger Of fire because of the
number OF frame buildings It reflects
honor ON the fire department that so few
great fires occur, 1t Is admitted that their
strenuous efforts saved the l. street via
duct from total loss. Again Thursday night
a serious fire In the Union stock yards was
checked before the company suffered any
material damage. It is urged by the citi-
Gems interested and the firemen themselves
that instead Of complimentary largesses to
- the firemen the big business houses OF the
Nlty should show their appreciation of the
e work OF the department by sending an
" occasional check to the fire relief fund.
This Is the custom ia Omaha and the re-
suit is a feeling Of security on the part OF
g. tina men who risk their lives daily in the
worl, Of protecting their fellows from the
perils Of fire.
