What looked like a perfectly good
agreement and arrangement for ironing
out the troubles of the fire department,
which troubles were to be no more after
Thursday night, seems to have flivyered,
or at least struck a snag, for on Friday
the entire proposition was up in the air
again. and may remain there for some
| time to come.
It appears that the proposition to en-
tirely disband the fire companies now in
| existence and reorganize the department
| under the newly appointed chief and his
assistants cannot be accomplished except
/ possibly through the vote of either the
| common council or through action by a
special city meeting.
| Chief Ralph E. Thurston is not favora-
| BILE to the proposition that the No 1
! company, which is the chief bone of con-
| tention, he disbanlded and new COM
| pany organized from among the present
| membership and from among the mem
| bership of the former No l company
! which retired about two years ago
| Chief Thurston believes that a fireman
| who has regularly performed his duties
| and against whom there are no charges
| should not be elected from the depart
ment without cause. His attitude is that
| the men in the department should have
! d square deal-honest all around.
Chief Thurston is perfectly in accort
with the proposal that men who have no.
| attended fires, or who have been other
| wise negligent or inefficient, should BIZ
| removed from the department-but in thu
| proper manner, by preferring charge;
| against them and filing them with tht
/ common council for action by that body
For the present, at least. the situation
| in the fire department is likely to remain
unchanged. Chief Thurstons ambition il
to build up a department that will b,
| the pride of the city, but in achieving
that en- dhe is decidedly unwilling to d,
| an injustice to anyone, and he feels tina
| injustices would be worked by wholesaI
dismissals of fremen numbers of whom
have good records and have renders
faithful and efficient service. Chic
| Thurston said Friday afternoon that h
was perfectly agreeable to the reorgan
| izing of the non-eXistent No. 2 company
with a membership of efficient men agree
able to those most interested in tina
particular organization.
It was learned Friday that forme
members of the department have pre-
pared lists of the membership of the Pre-
