Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1913-08-07

Monday evening the city council
met in regular session but owing to
the storm which put the lights to
the bad but a short session was held
and the business was completed at an
adjourned session Tuesday evening.
One OF the important moves was
the passage of Ordinance No. 241 by
Creighton governing and regulating
the fire department Under this or
dinance stations are established in
three different sections of the city.
One at the cid city hall, one at the
new city hall, and another at some
point to be decided later on the west
side. 1t is also under consideration
by this committee to establish anoth-
er station on the east side in Ward
No. 2.
BY the provision of the ordinance
compensation is given all volunteer
members who attend fires where wa
ter is turned on there is granted
$3.50 for the hours s P. NJ. to s A. NJ.
and $3.50 from A. NJ. to s P. M.
with the prcviso that all members
who arrive at the scene of the fire
first with their apparatus shall re-
ceive S100 additional.
Any drayman pulling fire apparatus
to a fire shall be entitled to the sum
OF 81.
The ordinance also provides in de-
tail for the government of the fire
department making the fire chies
and assistant to be appointed by the
Mayor and council.
Any member injured fighting fire
shall receive compensation by pay
ment of doctor bill providing same
does not exceed $50 and any men,
Der dying as a result of injuries re-
ceived while fighting fire the city will
pay funeral expenses not exceeding
s5.
After the passage of the ordinance
the Mayor and council selected as
fire chief Edwin Lauer and as assist
ant chief Karl Korup.
A resolution looking toward the
health and sanitation of the city was
also introduced and passed ordering
all hotel and restaurant keepers to
provide covered garbage cans and the
Marshal was instructed to see that
the order was obeyed.
Other important improvements were
discussed by the council and while
some of the work has been moving
slowly the reports showed that re
suits may soon be looked for along
many different lines.
