MARKING TIME IN
FIRE SITUATION
Awaiting Report of Underwriters
Engineer Before Taking
Further Action.

Members of the Conservation and Fire
Prevention Committee expect TO learn this
week, what ]. H. Howland's opinion is
regarding the FIRE fighting situation IN
this city. Mr.. Rowland is the engineer of
the National Board Of Fire Underwriters
who spent three DAYS last week confering
with city council and the fremen and
Others interested, and trying 10 shape up
some solution for the present city needs.
MIR Rowland upon leaving here Wednes-
day night. expected to prepare his re-
port immediately which would then be
submitted TO the executive committee OF
the Underwriters:
A member of the Conservation and Fire
Prevention Committee said today, IN
commenting on conditions, that he hoped
the fire companies would make public
how the money they obtained from city
council was spent He believed that might
help clear up things considerably. For
instance, he pointed out that the members
of Ph9nix Company had announced
they would withdraw their ladder If
council did not give them sufficient money
10 maintain it. This committeeman point
ed out that a ladder truck was needed
more than an engine and asked the ques-
tion why the ladder is withdrawn and the
engine kept in service. 1T Is because the
Phpnix. has not young men capable oil
manning the ladder" he queried?
IF the FIRE companies will lay then
cards on the table-show how many men
are capable of doing ladder duty or other
detailed work will show how they have
spent past money given them, and why
they need more money and for what pur.
poses, this year, and other details that
would accompany a plain statement
much better Roadway would be gained,
this man stated.
Members of the fire companies, it /:
said expect to mark time pending meeting
of each company to be held early mex
month. At these company meetings, thu
fremen will vote on paid ire depart
ment Following these meetings, IT rs th'
plan Of the leaders of the fremen to hold 9
general meeting and learn at that time
lust as Engineer Rowland asked them Il
do, how each company stands on a pait
department When that decision has beer
announced, if the fire companies as
majority want paid department, coun
ell can be approached with more definit
demands.
In the minds OF these leaders as ais
those who want paid department, Their
is danger in delaying this announcement
If the question is put off too long, it nigh
result in arrangements for a paid depart
ment being made and the firernen nigh
be left with lot of apparatus on thei
hands that would not be of much valu
| to them.
