TWO PLATOON PLAN
 URGED BY FIREMEN
Members of Local Department Argue
 That Increased Efficiency Would Repay City for Its Adoption.

AEhe members of the fire depart Dent have petitioned the Board of Fire Commissioners for the adop- ton Of the two platoon system in thls city, arguing that it's adoption would tend to increase the efficiency. or the department, save the health of the tiremen and give them the pleasure now denied them, of being with their families for a reasonable 9Srtion of the day
 ~The frcmen feel that the contin zuous duty system under which they arc nov working is q hardship not a Illl in keeping with modern methods 5f labor. Under the present system *he members of the department work e1 hours a day, 302 days year. This kneans that the men are separated
 aom their family and friends for six
 &ys at a time.
 Under the two platoon system. Il hey claim, the efficiency of the force would be greatly increased the health of the men improved and the life Of a fireman would be a more pleasant one. It's adoption would regulate the hours of work, and put them on a footing with other labor ing men. While it would require two &lfts Of men 10 operate in this way one for day and one for night-the system would not call for twice as many men, The men off duty would be instructed 10 respond 10 tho sec ond alarm in case Of fire and the force on duty would not be weakened at any time because of meal hours or days off. This would be eliminated.
 ~dhe tiremen earnestly seek and ex- pect the adoption of the system as a humane step and as a step toward the equaGzing of work for all city j. servants. The plan has been in 'eIorce for some time in other Con- necticut cities.
