 Negative Report.
 The report of Commissioners Elmer B. Stone and William c. Kranowitz against recommending the installation of the wo-platoon system at the pres ent tune. was presented as follows:
 His Honor the Mayor and the Com mon Council:
 The two-p1atoon system should not be installed at the present time in the face of existing serious conditions.
 Why the system now with such business depression about us, now and for months to come?
 Why the system now. with so many unemployed here. and so much pow erty to care for now. and in winter months to come7
 Why the system now. when taxes are slowly coming in. and most tax payers are straining thepselves to meet their municipal obligations?
 What is tho answer to those ques- tions, gentlemen. not from the point of view of politics. but from the dol lar and cents standpoint of the tax payer,
 Cnn't Afford Plan Now.
 we can only answer those questions as the thinking taxpayers in New Britain this evening are answering them, and say to you:
 NO. we cannot afford to have the two-pl ttoon system at the present time!'
 How can you gentlemen. who ara supposed to represent your constitu- ents, take any other view than to op- pose the system at the present time?
 If you investigate. as we have in- vestigated, your constituents will tell n their They will tell you. as they have told us:
 Hold off. now is not the time for the two-platoon!"
 What has Chief Noble told us at our board meetings?
 'tNothing Is wrong with our fire lighting fore. The number is ade- arsto. The underwriters have put us ir Glass B.
 Thon why more men? So he answers: NO more men arc needed. although M flow moro might be added to strengthen a company here or there. Brt certain number of men are needed. according to system. to make tho freman's life better"
 We. too, should like to give the iramcn more ideal working conditions but in better times!
 Bremen Contcntcd.
 Have you found any of the pres cat firemen and they are among the best paid in the state-desirous of giving up their work if the system is not installed Were they to go. we already have so men and more on the civil service list anxious to find places in the department! Gentlemen, as commissioners who are charged with looking after tho fire department for the public safety and interest, we cannot conscientious

There can be no middle ground in
