Service Auziliaries, Fire Preven-
ton and Recommendations

The annual report Of the board Of
fire commissioners was completed to-
day and filed with the city clerk. This
is the first report of the commission
since the separation of the fire and
police department under individual
commissions. The report reviews the
work of the year and contains recon-
mendations. The report follows:
"By the provisions of the charter
amendments Of the general assembly
of 1917 the management of the fire
department was given to a board OF
fire commissioners, consisting of four
members. In accordance with the act
this commission, appointed by His
Honor, Mayor George A. Quigley, en-
tered upon it's duties last June.
"Since the creation of this commits
sion it has had the support of His
Honor and your honorable body and
at this time we wish to express our
appreciation for the sustaining action
in it's various recommendations.
"At times during the year the abi1i-
ty of the fire fighting force of the
city has been tested and the men have
met the situations in a creditable
manner. The fire department is de-
serving of communication for the
| manner IN which it met the difficult
| conditions confronting them.
Some changes in the personnel of
| the department were made during the
year. Retirement of some of the vet
