IN BUDGET IS URGED
Research Bureau Would Have
Council Appropriate Money
to End Mandamus Evil
WOULD SAVE BIG SUMS

Inclusion in the city budget of an
amount which would approximate that
which the city would be called upon to
pay through damage suits was suggested
today by the Bureau of Municipal Re
search as n means toward abating the
mandamus evil.
Writs of mandamus are writs issued
by the courts where judgment has
been obtained against county. The
amount of the judgment with interest
and costs.
The obvious way for the city to
avoid paying costs of suit and interest
on mandamuscs. the bureau asserted
is to satisfy claims as soon. as their
amounts are definitely fixed and il is
certain that they must be paid. But
suits cannot be avoided unless appro-
priations by Council are available to
pay claims ms they fall due: and in
cases where it is impossible or imprac-
ticable to avoid suit. interest on man
damuses cannot be saved unless appro-
priations are available to pay judgments
when rendered, or when the manda
muses. are presented to the treasurer
The city suffers most of it's mandamus
losses in negligence cases. land con :
demnation cases, and cases in which the
city is committed TO expenditures by
officers and agencies other than the
Council. Can Council make appropria =
tions that will avoid mandamus losses
in these cases?
''No one can do more than speculate
as to the amount for which the city will
be liable within given time by reason
Of the negligent acts and defaults of It's
employees. Such liability is not deliber
ately incurred. and it is therefore i'm
possible to make an appropriation that
will surely cover it. Nevertheless. .wher
the city's budget is made up, provision
could be made for such cases on thu
basis of the experience of previous
years. and mandamuses would b,
avoided to the extent that the appro
priation proved adequate.
Council should have less difficulty
in determining in advance the amount
which must be appropriated to meet OBJ
| legations which it deliberately incurs
Yet the city suffers its heaviest man.

CHIEF CARTER BACKS PLAN

This evening the Camden firemen will
present to the fire committee Of Camden
City Council their request for two

of that now in force. which requires the
men to be on duty twenty four hours a
day.
Camden Is greatly concerned over the
efforts of the firemen to get better
schedule Of hours. All the business men
and business mems associations are
standing behind the fight Of the firemen
for easier hours. Yesterday the Cam
den Ministerial Association indorsed the
firemen's plea at their meeting and
passed a resolution asking Council to
grant the request.
The case of the fremen will be pre-
sented at the committee meeting by a

On Duty at All Times
The present system prevailing in the
Camden fire department requires that
the men be on duty at all times, ready
to respond to fire calls day or night
The men themselves find IL hardship
physically, as they rarely can remove
their clothing for good nights rest
and their families complain bitterly
that 1t makes the head of the house O
stranger in his own home. At present
every fireman is given one day off ir
! five,
It Is desired to introduce a two bat
talon system, under which the men vii
be twelve hours on duty and twelv'
hours off in every twenty four. 1t Il
estimated that to do this will require
an extra force of between fifty ant
seventy men, and will cost the tax
payers from seven to eight cents extr'
on the hundred.

Camden department, said today tina
