MCFARLAND FAVORS
TWO-PLATOON system
Strongly Indorses Plan on Grounds
of Efficiency.

City hremen in favor of a two-pla-
toon system in Washington were en-
couraged yesterday by the indorse-
ment Of the movement given by Henry
B. T. Mcfarland, a commissioner of
the District OF Columbia for ten
years Mr.. Macfarland had the fire
department especially under his charge
during that time, from 1900 to 1910, and
became a recognized authority on mat
ters relating to the organization of
the department.
Sweeping aside all the arguments for
a two-platoon system based upon hu-
manity and the better home life OF
the men, Mr.. Macfarland declares that
IL can be made entirely successful on
the ground of increased efficiency
alone. This fact, he declares, can be
proven by the testimony OF the chiefs
Of fire departments throughout the
country who have tried the two-pla-
toon plan.
But anyone who will examine the
question will see that the two-plat toon
system will provide a larger number
of men on duty at any one time" said
the former Commissioner. The men,
also, will be in better condition to do
their work
TT does not mean doubling the num-
Der OF men. On the contrary, only
two men would have to be added to
the company of twelve, and this addi-
tfon involves only a comparatively
small increase in the annual appro-
priation."
