stall such a shift. The system VIII
be put on without any change in the
location of the fire stations for the
, present, at least. Several more men
will have to be secured by the de-
partment, however, before the double
shift can be made effective.
The new shift will allow the fire
men to work in day and night shifts,
instead of being on duty for twenty
four hours at stretch, as they are
now. The double platoon system is
in vogue in many Iowa cities and is
proving very satisfactory both to the
men and in the efficiency of the
system.
The hours for the two shifts have
not been completely worked out as
yet
! It has been decided to maintain the
two stations, one at Sixth and one
at Tenth street, as they are now.
The original plan was to consolidate
these two stations at Sixth street.
West Keokuk will be maintained in
its present quarters. The consolida-
ton would have permitted the douDie
system without additional men.
Commissioner Kenny OF the pub
lie safety department is attempting
to secure men to fill the new places,
and is in hopes that he will be able
to get several additional firemen as
soon as possible.
