Co. would disband in the summer had
threatened the eligibility of Mr. Tazewell,

Friendship, it was stated today, had given

All the fire companies, except the
Brandywine, have appealed To City Coun-
Gil for nm increase OF Sl 300 on the amount
To be paid the city next year for fire
service. The year starts in August. All
of the companies now receive 81 500, ex-
cept tho Phoenix, which IS paid an adj
ditional sum for it's truck. While the
Brandywine Co, which is located Mt
Twentv-ffth and Market streets, states
that il is not in need of additional funds,
all of the others say they are, and Council
has promised To take the matter under
consideration
"What will happen if Council don't
grant the Increase member oh one OF
the companies was asked today.
"The companies will go right ON, bor-
rowing money and discounting their
notes" he replied The Wilmington Fire
Department will never leave the city IN
the lurch
In the matter of expense, he said, il is
much less here than IN any city IN the
country having paid department. He
cited Philadelphia, as the lowest paid fire
department. expense per company, which,
he said, is SlS, 900 year, while IN lren-
ton, \. j., it is S21 900, as compared with
81 500 in Wilmington II must be con
sidered, however, that the only men paid
here are the drivers and operators OF the
machines, one or two men IN each com
pany. In paid department, OF course,
the whole fire fighting force Is paid, and
in some cities there are rs many rs three
shifts n day. which adds to the expense.
