PAID FIRE FIGHTERS
Pusey and Jones Co. Writes
Letter Endorsing Mr..

THREE MEN TO RUN
NEW DEPARTMENT

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, March 40. - Representative
Connelly's bin creating a paid nre de-
p6riment for Wilmington was placed
on Its ANAL passage in The House yes
ierday afternoon. but the taking OF the
vote was postponed until Monday. The
bin had been reported favorably by the
committee on municipal corporations
Mr.. Connolly claims It Is a war meas
ure, as It will afford better fire pro-
lection for many plants In Whining
ton, where important government work
Is going on.
it Is the same hill that was defeated
IN the Senate last session. Tho bin
names John T Laliy, William ]. Lntz
end John j. Satterthwsit as fire com
mlssioners. Each commissioner would
receive $500 annually, and their sue
cessors would be appointed by the
Mayor.
The bin provides not less than ss0,-
900 annually for maintenance OF the de-
pariment and $4,000 for the volunteer
Fircmen's Relief Association.
The indications are that the bin viii
pass the House II vote Is taken.
The following communication was
read from the Pusey and Jones Com
ranY OF wilmington
The purpose OF this communication
is to bring before the honorable mem
bers OF the House Of Delegates the cry
ing need Of a paid lre department ln
this city, and 10 urge upon them the
necessity OF creating such q body. The
need Is particularly apparent at this
time when the country is at war and
when a positive incentive exists for In
cendlery destruction.
We have an expensive system Of
private waichmen. The government
has posted a military guard al our
plant and we have an efficient private
Gre brigade and equipment but an OF
these precautions would be OF small
avail In case OF fire, had we no better
assistance from the city than it now
can offer.
-We have no doubt but that the pres
enl volunteers do the best they can
under the circumstances, but with
PAID department and an efficient organ
izalion we believe we would not have
suffered as severely as we did on the
occasion Of the recent fre at Our plant
Tho monetary damage therefrOm was
about $4,000, but the cost OF the de-
lay In the building of our ships can
not be computed except 70 say our de-
hfcries have been delayed several
monihs-when ships are needed.
I'VE have been tempted 10 critlcise
The existing volunteer service. but haye
RETAINED because we feel criticism un-
less constructive is useless. You, gen
temen, can now be constructive and give
20 the city the class Of protection It's
position ii the business world demands.
Again we, therefore. urge as a war
measure your favorable consideration
q the bin now pending. which has FOR
rs purpose the creating Of paid fire
department FOR Wilmington.
Yours very truly.
