REVISE RULES
OF FIRE DEPT.
Burroughs Must Begin January
5, Forcing Many Vacations
During Winter Time.

Revising fire department regula-
tions for the first time since 1914,
George s. Watson, chief engineer,
today made his first move to in
crease the efficiency of his men. The
new regulations contain several i'm
portant changes and many minor re-
visions.
FURLOUGH DATE CHANGES.
Most important of the new regula-
lions is the one which provides that
furloughs in the fire department must
begin on January 8, instead OF March
I as heretofore, and that not more
than one man may be absent on
furlough from one company at the
same time.
This means that many fireman
must take part OF their vacation In
the winter months. Decision to
change this regulation was made by
q committee OF five deputy and bat
talon first chiefs. with the approval
of all officers of the department, also
the District commissioners
Each fire company must nave
sufficient number of men on duty to
handle it's apparatus properly said
Chief Watson today, The chiefs have
realized for many years the need Tor
remedying the existing conditions.
MAY REVISE AGAIN.
"while the department hesitates to
order the men to take furlougs in the
winter time, we feel that such action
is our duty to the taxpayers who de-
pend upon us to protect their prop
erty Within year there may be
another revision of this regulation. l
have several plans in mind and one
of them may result in enabling us to
grant all furloughs during the summer
months.
Regarding furloughs, / believe
now, as 1 have believed since becom-
ing a member of this department..
that District firemen are entitled 20
thirty days leave. the same as any
other Government employe."
Another regulation changed was
that with reference to saluting. The
new regulation provides that mem
bers of the department when on duty,

of superiors, shall. IL seated. rise, and

No saiutes at fires are required.
DRESS Is REGULATED.
Another regulation provides that
members of the department. desiring
to sit in front OF the engine house in
the winter time. must wear their
coats. In the summer 1t Is permitted
that the fireman may remain in front
of the company clad in a shirt. FRO
vided he presents q respectable APP
pearsnce.
Objections to these regulations are
expected by the fire chief. He states
that he believes, however, that these
objections will soon be forgotten
when the men become more familiar
with the changes.
"All of the changes were made with
view to being just and fair to the
men," said Chief Watson.
A change in the running book"
providing that both deputy chiefs
attend each second fire alarm. was
made. 1t is the practice at present
for deputy chiefs to attend fires only
to which battalions under their charge
are called.
The regulations were revised by a
committee comprising p. w. Nichol-
son, deputy fire chief, and Battalion
Chiefs James keliher, Thomas O'Con-
nor, c. w. Gill and Peter X. Davis.
