In presenting his resolution Presi-
dent Downward said that he thought
Council should take some action in
the matter. as there were some weak
spots in the present system, which
he SAID was a good one as far as vol
unteer departments were concerned.
The city is growing larger, however.
and in his opinion Il was only a mat
ter OF short time before Il would
be necessary TO have paid depart
ment for the city.
Councilman McDermott. who Is not

said he thought IL was a waste of time
TO set June for the time for the con
ference. as the new City Councilmen
would then be in Office and he would
like TO see something done at once.
Mr. McDermott also said that he ia
vored a referendum on the question,
as it was but proper TO allow those
who paid the taxes the right to say
what should be done He also said
that Mr. Downward at the recent ses-
sion Of the legislature, had glorified
the present department Mr.. McDer-
mott said that the city paid the
twelve FIRE companies for their ser
vlcs and he would like to know what
obligations the city was under to the
department
Councilman Johnson, Of the First
ward, who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, asked why the date of the pro-
posed conference was put of so late
and Mr. Downward said that he had
fixed the date out OF consideration for
Mr.. Johnson, and others who were
active at this time IN politics
Councilman Williams. who is can.
didate for City Treasurer. said he
thought the conference should be held
before the budget was made up for the
ensuing year He thought that much
good could be accomplished in this
manner.

ton made an amendment TO the res.
