There is another thing to be con-
sidered along the line of expense to
the city That is the remodeling OF
all firehouses in the city. which would
mean a very heavy expenditure OF
money.
The proposition SINNERS down to
this: To-day we have IA companies
that last year cost the city $4,000 to
operate, and plenty of men to combat
the flames.
Shall the Underwriters Association
dictate to the city a department of
nine companies. with a limited num-
Der of 80 men, and costing S120, 900
full citizen can interpret the meaning
of this.
There has been some reference
made that water pressure is not what
it should be.
I'm answer to this the firemen ex-
tend a hearty invitation to the fault
finding gentlemen who push pencils,
compile figures and dope out imprac-
ticable theories to kindly come around
to a fire at their leisure, when an
opportunity will be given them to
demonstrate their theories. No doubt
II will result in Where ignorance is
bliss, tits folly to be wise
There is not In this city volunteer
who will not do all in his power to
better conditions in the department.;
but we want the suggestion to ocme
from practical men. and not theorists
and figure enumerators.
The slogan Boost Harrisburg, and
trade at home does not correspond
with the system employed by those
who consider themselves at the helm
to guide this good old ship Harris

Civil Service Question
I'm regard to the civil service ques-
ton: Last winter a bill was intro
duced by a member from third class
city. which bill, according to reliable
reports, was gotten up by man from
third class city who tried to force a
raid department in his city and was
backed by man from third class
city which has full paid department.
The bill passed both houses, but was
recalled from the Governor. and when
the bill was explained by volunteer
firemen to the members. showing them

Can it be denied by anyone that

Years ago has not been we'll spent ?
If so, let that person come forward
with a suggestion, and the firemen are
a body of men who will listen to any
person who has a practical proposition.
so often the man at the desk With
a few figures and a correspondence
education makes a total failure when
his ideas are put to the practical test.
Now as to the cost of running a
paid department. Taking the number
of men desired by the Underwriters
Association, 80 men. exclusive of off,
GERS, would mean: Ninety men at $75
per month, or sS1. 900 per year; one
foreman for each company, which
would number nine companies, at
$1,000 per year or S10,800 for fore
men, and then the trainers or experts
referred to by the underwriters would
total an amount over 100000 per
year. In addition to this would be
added about $40, 900 for janitors, fuel,
light. etc, for the firehouses. The
figures are not eXorbitant, but on a
par with city police and other safety
officers, the only difference being that
twenty-four hours a day.
"At the present time the paid fire
departments of various cities are max
ing stand for a twelve-hour turn,
instead of twentv-four hours. In such
event the amount of expenditure will
be doubled. and this is very likely to
happen because they are putting up
the kick to the authorities, who will
probably grant their wish.
lone other suggestion made was to
effect of employment of trained and
experienced men. There is a matter
70 decide. and who shall do it? The
Harrisburg firemen are not what the
Underwriters Association would call
trained so it remains to be seen
that it is their intention to import men
to this city. as they always do when a
position is to be given out.
More Cost Added
You can readily see the expendi-
ture of $4,000 a year to run the
department, which statement can be
verified by comparing it with other
cities of the third class the size of
