new PLAN
FOR TRUCKS
Fire Chiefs Want Delaware
for Center Of City
Service
WILL SUBMIT
IDEAS TO COUNCIL

That the Fire Department may be
more efficient and at the same time
save the horses from as much danger
and hardships as possible, Chief
Simon F. Moran will submit a propo-
sition to the Fire Committee Of City
Council on Thursday night, providing
that the Delaware and Phoenix com
pany trucks respond TO only certain
alarms, instead of to every alarm as
at present. The plan provides that
the Delaware truck respond 70 only
alarms in the heart of the city, and in
the manufacturing centers.
There will be twenty-one boxes
alarms TO which the Delaware truck
Will not respond on the first alarm
These boxes will be those on the ex-
treme edge Of the city, such as over
Third street bridge, Bancroft's Banks
or Mills. Augustine Paper Mills and
the residential section of the city. The
Phoenix truck will respond to these
alarms
The idea of dividing the city into
sections aud having the two trucks
respond on certain alarms was sug-
gested some time ago but owing to
opposition It was not carried out.
When several firemen, including two
officers, were spoken to about the pro-
posed change, they both stated that ii
was a good idea and one that should
be adopted
Another matter to be taken up by
Chief Moran is that of testing the fire
hydrants about the city. Chief Moran
expects to confer with Chief Kienle of
tho Water Department, on the subject
today. II is the opinion of the FIRE
chief that all the plugs should be test
ed weekly. II for a few minutes only.
This would allow dirty water to es-
cape which is caused by the pipes cor
roding and at the same time prevent
them from freezing

Paris, August 4,--That the French

not obeyed in spirit, Is the deelara-
ton OF NJ. Delcasse. the French Min

The intention Of the law is that
these drills shall be held without
previous warming to passengers or
crew, so that they may be a really
effective test in the efficiency of the
safety regulations. Instead OF this,
the Minister contends, the crews are
informed In advance when a drill Is
about 10 be ordered, and thus are en-
ahled to make preparations, FOL
which there would probably not be
time at the moment of actual dis
aster. "
The Minister condemns this prac

drills carried out in entire con
formity with the regulations will be
recognized by the authorities.
