FIRE SERVICE DEPENDS
ON BOND AUTHORITY
City Solicitor to Consult New
York Attorneys Before Move
is Made.

City Solicitor Reuben satterthwaite,
.Ir., win go 70 New York tomorrow to
have conference with Reed.
Dougherty a Hoyt. attorneys. relative
TO the bond issue for the Depart
n,cnt of Public Safety In their work Of
establishing a paid fire department.
The purpose is to determine whether
there is any plan whereby the city
can Issue bonds for n fire department
that viii be legal and that viii be
unquestioned despite the recent court
proceedings against the safety direc-
tors and the last bond issue. which
has been held up.
IL il should be found that the city
can authorize a bond issue for the
purpose the safety directors viii be
authorized to proceed with the work
Of establishing the new department.
They will make up their plan and esti-
mate and submit IL 10 City Council
for approval and the Council. should
it approve the plan, viii proceed TO
authorize bond issue for a sum suf-
ficiently large to meet all the expenses
as set forth in the departments esti-
mate.
This opinion from the New York
attorneys is the only thing which is
now holding up the work of proceed
Ing with the establishment of the
department. Should they find. how
ever, that there are legal restrictions
against a bond issue at this time, then
the probability of having a paid fire
department in this city soon is remote.
The whole project would have to wait
until the case now in the Court OF
6'haneery has been disposed of and
1t may even be necessary to wait
until the case has gone through the
Supreme Court before final settlement
has been reached. and this would re-
ouire at least six months.
