FIRE STATION NO. 8.
Division i'm Commission Over ConsoIi-
dation With No. 2.

Fire Station No. 3. on jefferson
near Third, will be abolished before
many months. Several weeks ago
Mayor Billiard suggested at COM
mission meeting that it be combined
with fire station No. on the corner
of Quincy and Seventh. The COM
missioners disagreed so radically on
the subject that the matter was drop
there would be a saving of between
$4,000 and $4,000 a year. Chief
Wilmarth does not favor of the plan,
but is not ready to discuss his views.
Il am in favor of abolishing 1t,
said the mayor, consolidating it,
mean. The negro firemen employed
will be stationed in other parts of the
town; it will reduce the force a little,
but not much. The saving will be
enormous A motor trackter to be
purchased by fire station No. 2 will
reach points more quickly than the
horses at No. 8. Sometime next year
undoubtedly the two viii be COM
bined.''
Il am against consolidation de-
clared Commissioner Miller, who holds
his own views regardless of public
opinion. Il do not think that pro-
lection should be taken away from the
Santa Fee shops; thousands of men
might be thrown out of employment
in case fire was permitted to gain
Roadway before the fire boys could
arrive. The official in charge of the
shops told me that No. usually ar
rives before the Santa Fe boys them
selves. Money might be saved by
consolidation, but great many dol
lars would be expended before the two
stations could be combined
1T seems to me- said Mr.. Bone,
commissioner of finance, that the
two could be combined without i'm
pairing the service at all; the stations
are close to one another and the new
automobile apparatus covers the
ground in an exceedingly short space
of time. I am not, however, in favor
of discharging a lot of men; if the
force were reduced at all, I think the
men last employed should be the ones
to 60"
opinion, but the Santa Fe people
claim that No. 3 is the first depart
ment to reach them in case of alarm.
They are among the heaviest tax
payers in town and are entitled to
much consideration. If the station is
discontinued it does not mean that the
firemen will be thrown out of posi-
tions. 1t means that they will be
placed in other stations. I absolutely
disapprove of doing away with the
colored firemen. Consolidation may
be a good thing when the new motor
apparatus is bought, but there is no
chance of immediate change
1T is a question that requires a
sioner Tandy land should be thor
oughly investigated. No. is at the
bottom of a hill; the Santa Fe has its
own department. Off-hand, I believe
we could combine the stations with
out much trouble"

Mercer Gets No Help From Govern

with reports each day indicating the
wide spread of disease among horses in
western Kansas, Joe Mercer as state
live stock sanitary commissioner, has
declared war on the federal bureau of
animal industry. MERGERS wrath was
heaped on the government officials
when they declined to take q hand in
the suppression of the dread disease in
this state and answered the Kansas
commissioners appeals for aid with
lengthy kilograms that suggested reme-
dies but gave no relief.
Just at present A M. harrington, act
ing chief of the bureau of animal in
dEstry, is causing the greatest trouble
for the live stock commissioner. Mercer
is busy directing the little army of vet
erinaFians who are fighting the disease
ia the short grass country and is carry
ing the responsibility of financing the
fight and discovering the source of
trouble. And during intermissions,
Mercer and Harrington are telegraphing
their opinions of the situation
mo greater calamity ever struck the
livestock interests of Kansas than the
epidemic now prevailing among horses.

The states suit against the Blanch-

bondsmen, the Massachus cts Bonding
company. was decided by Judge A w.
Dana late yesterday afternoon in favor
of the state. The judgment is for 81 g.
13O51 damages claimed by the state
growing out of the construction of a
new engineering building at the Kan
sas State Agricultural College.
Suit was filed charging that owing
to DELAYS in the construction, and the
final failure of the defendant con-
struction company, another contractor
had, to be employed to finish the work.
Damages asked amounted to the DIFF
ference in the cost to the state of the
building as it finally was finished and
the contract price under which it was
awarded. Judge Dana has held the
case under advisement for some time.
