stand how the rumor regarding Nj,
resignation got abroad. He be.
lieves, however. that a remark
made by him at an informal dis
cussion with several aldermen and
others perhaps led to the rumor
At that time the chief stated that
if there was to be a general cut in
salaries of iremen in order to pro-
vide part of the money needed for
the double platoon system, he
wanted to be notified in advance
of such action.
The chief is now eligible for re-
tirement on half pay, and while
he does not plan to retire at pres
ent he would probably do SO il
necessary TO keep this half pay at
its present level.
A special meeting of the council
will be held Monday evening for
the purpose of discussing the dou-
ble-pfatoon system. The fire COM
mittee at the last regular meeting
recommended that the system be
put in operation not later than July
16.
The law requires that the system
be in operation by January l,
1922. The firemen are growing
restless over the delay. The city
officials are racking their brains
to find a way to provide the addi-
tional money needed.
The firemen declare they have
the law on their side, and that if
necessary they can force the in
stallation of the system. They al
so declare they can force the pay.
ment of wages due them under the
double platoon since the first Of the
year Approximately $3.50 is due
each private in the department for
his services since January l, they
say.
The councilmen call attention to
the fact that with the double pla-
toon system the firemen would moi
be entitled to their vacations with
pay, and for that reason it might
be to the advantage Of the employees
to wait until fall.
