the evening meeting, made the session
of the city council one of the most in
teresting and lively in months. The
melee started in the afternoon, at the
meeting of the committee of the whole
At that time Mayor Berwald stated that
he had been preached by a mechanic
/ who advised him to get a competent
man to look over the fire apparatus
which arrived in Davenport recently
before it was accepted by the city.
This brought on a storm of disap-
prevail from Alderman Gosch.
'The man who suggested that was
looking for a soft job" he said. There
isn't a mechanic in the country outside
of the one employed in the Seagrave
plant, who knows anything about that
big pump we've got
"A man who is supposed to know
more about machinery than anyone
in Davenport came down to look the
pump over the other day. He was
amazed and confused by the thing, and
inquired about all the various parts
like a child.
You kicked when asked for an ap-
preparation for Chief Denger and I to
attend the convention in Providence,
R l., to learn something about modern
fire fighting apparatus. Yet you are
willing to throw away a large sum of
money to pay a machinist who doesn't
know a thing about the machinery he
is supposed TO inspect. That's my idea
of poor economy"
