ton Of the things on which the law is
silent.
COUNCIL STANDS PAT.
City Council last night received COM
munication from the Friendship Fire Co,
announcing that it would not sign another
contract for fire service after it's present
contract expires. The company states its
appropriation is insufficient. Resolving
itself into committee Of tho whole, Council
accepted the Friendships resignation.
General discussion followed.
Councilman Mulvcnn believed n paid
fire department is coming, but he said it
would cost three times M much as the
volunteer fire department. Estimating
three pieces of apparatus for each com
pany, with n men on three shifts and
paid at the rate Of $50 per week, he oal-
culated the expence per company at
$42, I20 per annum.
Councilman Lyon stated IL companies
would not be required and each fire house
would not contain three pieces of APP
paratus.
Councilman Mulvena suggested that
each company be granted an additional
appropriation Of 81 500.
Councilmen Forwood and Lyon said
appropriations could not be increased be
cause Councils budget has been made up
Councilman Mulvcna thought the sum
appropriated for the Friendship would
provide the additional money asked for
by tho other fire companies.
Councilman Forwood and Lyon de-
clarcd the Friendships appropriation
would not cover the requested increase.
Councilman Lyon favored spending the
Friendships appropriation on new auto
mobiles for tho officers Of the fire depart
ment.
Council adopted motion to let tho
budget stand and invite the president ~
each fire company 10 appear before the
committee Of the whole prior to signing
new contracts for fire service.
CHIEF Lurz's COMMENT.
Chief Lutz, in commenting this MORN
ing on the conditions within the depart
ment, said that the next week or ten DAYS
would undoubtedly bring some new
wrinkles in the matter.
'If the report that the city will give
the companies no more funds Is true, he
said, "the companies will be forced TO take
some decisive action. Just what 10 will be
and how serious IL will be we must wait
and see, but it will surely come.
Speaking Of the statement made last
night by Councilman that eight com
panies are all that are required in VIII

teer fire companies will not do the work

extraordinary fire hazards, which require
great human risk and technical training.
Council last night accepted the Friend
ship Co. 8 notice of withdrawal at the end
Of the present contract period, August 81,
but left the rest Of the question in un-
settled shape.
TAzEwELI's UNIQUE PoarTloN.
Because of the withdrawal Of the
Friendship Co, Of which he is member,
Harvey Tazewell, who last May was
elected first assistant chief Of the Fire
Department, will, after August 81, oc-
cupy a unique position. He will be "a
fireman without a company" unless some
other company should admit him to
membership IL does not appear, how
ever, from a casual reading OF the law on
the subject, that the officers Of the de-
partment even have to be hrcmcn, or
members of any companies. The law
merely says that "the several companies
are directed to assemble at their
respective engine houses on the second
Tuesday in May every second
year . and hold an election for
chief engineer and first and second as
sistants of the department for

cept that the officers must bc at least 25
years old and shall have lived in this
city FIVE years. 1t is all left with the fire
companies Council at one time passed
an ordinance requiring the officers TO be
elected from the companies by rotation,
but it was fought by the iircmcn and the
court held the ordinance to be void and
decided the firemen could elect whom they
pleased, and that Council had nothing
to do with it, The officers, apparently,
need not be members of any companies.
Council is required To canvass the vote.

This seems 20 be rather weak. but it

That being the situation. II looks ms If.

To serve, If he SO desired Council being
