powerful machines, dash to the scene
of alarm, and then, without thought
of his life or limbs, fight the rapid
ly consuming fires. The record of
the Department for the past twelve
months bespeaks the enthusiasm and
prompt attention that hsa been Civ
en- the property interests of our
citizens. The policeman is given
twelve hours of the comfort and
pleasures of his home, while the
fireman must remain at his post all
hours of the day and night, with the
exception of the few minutes given
at meal time, and even then he can
not be at ease, but must be alert,
ready and listening for any alarm
of fire that might be given, and must
respond Immediately wherever he
may be. In several cities in tn
state the municipal authorities have
provided the double platoon system,
under which the fireman is on duty
for twelve hours and is then relieg
ed entirely for the next twelve
hours, which time may be spent il
his home or elsewhere, as he chooses
while we believe that this system
should prevail in every department,
as under our present continuous con-
finement we are denied practically all
social intercourse with our families
and friends, yet we do not ask the
inauguration of this system in the

FIREMEN AGAIN
ASK COUNCIL
ORPAY RAISE
{ Continued From Page One,)

$3.50; regular fremen, $1,000
"We ask you honorable body to
raise these salaries, to be effective
October /, 1919, to the following
"Chief, $125.O0; assistant chief,
500; regular firemen, $4,000.
AS intimated above, this request
is made in order to meet our abso-
lutte living requirements. We ap-
pend hereto an itemized statement OF
the actual expenses of the members
of the force during the month OF
August, which statement shows that,
with one exception, every member OF
the force has from one to three de-
pendents, and that, with few neces-
sites of life were more than the
salaries received that without any
provision for clothing and shoes for
the women and children in our fam
lies, without any provision for doc
tors and medicine bills for ourselves
and families, without any education
of our children, without any provis-
ion for old age or misfortune, with
out any provision for comfort or
pleasure in life-our entire pay is
consumed in keeping the wolf from
the door.
"Such would not be the conditions
were these pre-war or normal times,
but the present high cost of living
(and with US we assure you it is not
the cost of high living) has made a
normal salary insufficient for the
needs. The officials of our National
Government state that, after full in
vestigation into present conditions
and prices, the comparative value of
a dollar today with that of nor
NAL times is forty-fve cents; on
which basis the salary of your Fire
Chief of $4,000 today is actual val
ue only a salary of $4,000 and the
salary of your fireman of $1,000 to-
day is in actual value on salary
of $3.50; this, as you know is not
a living wage.
Ask Policeman's Rate
"Your Honorable body has seen
fit, and very properly we think, to
fix the salary of your regular po-
licemen at $4,000 per month; we
ask that the salary of your regular
firemen be fixed at the same amount.
The policeman is on duty twelve
hours during the day, while your
firemen are on duty twentyfour
hours; while there are always dam
gers attendant upon the duty of the
policeman, there are equally as
great if not greater dangers con
stantly confronting the firemen in
the proper performance of his duty
he must, at high speed and on great
