FIRE FORCE ON
new BASIS AT
7 A. NJ. SUNDAY
Double Platoon System Inaugurat-
ed-Whistle Blasts In Case Of
Big Fires.

AIT o'clock Sunday morning. the
Rock Island fire department will
20 on a double platoon basis.
There will be IL men working on
each shift, which are OF 24-hour
periods. Only one new appoint
ment is necessary to allow for the
double platoon system under the
MANS that have been worked out
by Commissioner William H F1tz-
simmons and Fire Chief August
Schmidt
Curtis Crane, who has had ex-
perience as an extra fireman, will
be the new man on the depart
ment. The personnel will then
number "a men. Two men will
be on duty at all times at the five
outlying stations and seven men
will be on duty at all times at the
central station. Every morning at
7 o'clock the shifts will change.
Fire Whistle to Blow.
In case of large fires the water
works whistle will be sounded as
signal for all firemen off duty to
Join the regular platoon in the
work OF fighting the blaze. In
these cases the water works whis-
tie will blow two blasts. but will
not be sounded only upon notice
OF Chief Schmidt or others OF the
firemen in authority at the time.
On first alarm the men on duty
will respond, and it is not believed
that many calls will be made to
the men off duty to return. How
ever, the 24-hour period that the
firemen are off they will be expect
ed to stay in the city unless per-
mission is had from the chief to go
out of sounding distance of the
waterworks whistle. which permits
will be issued sparingly. it is said.
Commissioner FitZsimmons and
Chief Schmidt are confident that
their plan will work out perfectly.
The system will add only the wages
of an extra man. A new state law
made it imperative that double pla-
toon systems be inaugurated in
cities of this size.

COUNCIL WILL
HEAR PROTESTS
ON INCINERATOR

Next meeting of the city council
Of East Moline will be held Tues
day evening instead Of Monday.
The change Of date has been au-
thorized that the city might off,
cially conform with the custom of
observing New Years day on Mon
day, inasmuch as the holiday falls
on Sunday.
Indications are there will be con-
siderable discussion regarding the
location OF the proposed municipal
incinerator. One or two persons
who reside near the site designated
for the moderator. it is said, will
enter objections to locating the
plant there. Their objections, it is
understood, are due to their not
being acquainted with the particu-
lar type of incinerator the city
plans to install Claim is made
that the odor of the smoke from
the incinerator is offensive. Prob
ably this is true of a cheaper and
less modern type of plant, but the
East Moline moderator is guaran-
teed not to give out offensive
odors.

ON SOLDIERS DENIED
Covenor Explains About 81
Receiped for Disabled.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Sept 2S.-Gov.
Miller addressing the third annual con-
yention Of the New York State Depart
ment of the American Legion spoke at
length on matters in connection with the
care of disabled soldiers, and In this con-
nection sought to correct what he termed
as certain misunderstanding.
Discussing the charge that the State
was profiteering at the expense OF the
service men Gov. Miller said: "A good
deal was being said few weeks ago
that the State got 50 day man from
the Government and that the average
cost of maintaining man was ninety
cents. That ought to have aroused in
digna.ion IL II were true. But what
were the facts? That was figure
given out every year by the hospital
commission of the out of pocket expense
Il mean an immediate payment out OF
the Treasury for personal service for
maintenance.
"It included nothing whatever Of the
capital expense, the interest and the
large investment to house the people in
the hospitals, nothing whatever of the
depreciation of these institutions, and at
the very lowest possible rate of depre-
ciation. At the very lowest interest
charge that the State can get the money
for, and less than the State can get the
money for to-day, the actual average
cost was $1.35, and not ninety cents"
