She strenuously objected yester-

TRAININGFOR
EVERY Fireman
Even Chief Must Take Ex-
animation; No More Men
Needed
NO REDUCTION
IN DEPT. COST

There has been practically no re-
duction in the estimate presented
City Council last night. by the De-
partment OF Public Safety. over that
OF the original estimate presented as
many seem TO think" said Samuel
X. Smith, president OF the Depart
ment OF Public Safety, today.
I'm our first estimate we did not
specify how much should be OBJ
tanned through a bond issue. We
simply asked for the amount we felt
confident would be needed, for the
purchase OF real estate and equip
ment and there has been no mate
rial reduction in these figures.
I'm our estimate submitted in
June, we figured on an approximate
amount Of scare for real estate
and equipment. and allowed an extra
$4,000 for depreciation OF bonds,
contingent fund, etc. making a total
of s6s7,0OO
In our estimate OF S515.000, sub
mitted last night, we did not include
$4,000 of our estimate for other
+ expenditures than that for real es-
tate and equipment, and this latter
amount may be even greater as we
propose TO properly equip the
housts for firemen with shower baths
and other conveniences. which will
run into a considerable amount Of
money. as there is a good bit Of
necessary plumbing to be done.
I'VE are also planning 10 put up
private rooms for the chiefs and his
assistants, at the Friendship house
when our alterations are COM
pleted / should not be at all sur
prised II II amounts to $15O.000, but
at this timo II is impossible to give
any accurate figures as much OF this
work is yet TO be estimated for and
we have no way OF knowing now
just what the work will cost"
/ Another matter that Mr.. Smith is
especially anxious should be COR
rected is the impression that has
gotten out that the FIRE captains and
4 llieutenants do not have to take the
training required or their men.
Every man in the fire depart
ment from Chief Lutz down VIII
have TO go through the prescribed
course OF training at the school,
This order will include the stenogra-
pher 10 Chief Lutz. and the only ex-
iception made to this ruling is in the
case OF Miss Skelley. the stenogra-
pher for the Department OF Public
safay"
The following men were selected
by the department yesterday after
noon and ordered to report to the
school for training. bringing the
INT 'he~ in school now up to 63:

: No more applications will be re
ceived at this time for positions II

will supply all that are needed {,

names were published last Monday
there are just 73 so far named.
Others will be named as fast as the
directors receive the recommends
tions OF Chief Lutz and his assist
ants.

The Bakers have long been known as

that she can make more raising
chickens than Mr.. Baker can raising
fine hogs. So far this year she has
sold 5000 worth of chickens and
eggs. Has 200 chickens Matched ahd
IS hens setting. incidentally she is
old fashioned enough to believe that
the hen beats the incubator and she
has given the incubator a fair trial at
that. In her locality the crows usually
manage to get a bit more than their
share of the young chickens and Mrs.
Baker finally devised scheme 20
beat Mr.. Crow. She stretches few
lines of string, binding Irvine pre-
ferrcd. above the chicken lot and the
crow thinks it some sort of trap and
gives that yard wide berth.
