TROUBLE
AMONG F|REMEN
Mayor Gregory ouizzes Cap.
tains as to Friction in
Department.

I 1t leaked out today that Mayor
Gregory has been making quiet in
vestiEation of the stories of friction
IN the East Orange fire department.
Every fire captain N the city has
been at his office in response to an
Invitation to learn whether the stories
are we'll founded.
The captains summoned to the City
Hall were questioned in detail, it de-
Yeloped, and the answers given by
Bome to the questions propounded by
Mayor Gregory were interesting.
Henry r. Grobert, who was chosen
as new commissioner to succeed
President John Reeve, of the fire
commission, was present while the
captains were being interviewed.
One company head who has been in
the department for twenty years was
asked by Mayor Gregory what We're
the needs of the department and his
answer was considered an odd one.
Il don't know what the needs are
Or what is going on was his an
swer. you know. I do not go around
to the other firehouses when / get my
day off,
Another of the captains stationed
at headquarters did not hesitate to
point out matters to the mayor
which he considered should be told.
and his recommendation were taken
note of. In fact, the answers given
by every captain were jotted down
for f,.t,,ra concidoro fiop This oap-
tain told the mayor that the men
should be given an increase in salary
and felt they were entitled to 1t.
He also stated that an automobile
should be purchased. as it was one
of the departments greatest needs.
The investigation follows the
transfers made recently when one of
the captains was arraigned on n
charge of having violated rule of
the department, and the punishment
melted out was considered very Sc
we're. There were tales that one of
the commissioners at that time had
a row with him some time before.
This happened away from the city,
however, but was recalled when the
same captain was before the board.
Chief William H. MarlSwith sug-
gested that the transfers be made,
and believed it would result in the
men being better on their guard. 1t
has been felt the plan was success
full The chief has the respect Of
all his merf.
Just now there is considera ton be-
ing given the idea of raising the
wages of the captains and lieuten-
ants and Mayor Gregory is favoring
the increases. The other men say
they also should be given increases.
and this word has reached the exec
utive. Mayor Gregory conducted a
somewhat similar investigation of
the police department shortly after
being elected the first time.

the members of the Town Council
are eager to settle the matter. The
invitation to debate stipulates that
the argument is to be held in the
