ALEXANDRIA, June 22-The let
ting out of Fire Chief E. ]. McDer-
mott, effective July 1, was brought
up in city council at its meeting yes
terday afternoon by Councilman Z. F.
Ticer, who presented a resolution set
ting forth that the chief engineer of
the fire department is a recognized
and experienced f1reflghter. and also
an automobile mechanic and 1t asked
that he be afforded an opportunity to
answer any charges made against
him. 1t also provides that the city
manager be directed to withhold ap-
pointing any other person in the ca
pacity of assistant chief, deputy chief
or otherwise. until investigation is
completed.
Mr.. Ticer said the letting out of the
fire chief has stirred considerable
feeling, and that he. was afraid the
action may finally mean a paid fire
department. costing $4,000 a year.
City Manager Rich declared he did
not think it necessary to adopt the
resolution. inasmuch as the office of
nual budget was prepared.
He read the letter written to Fire
Chief McDermott, dated June 16

needed after July 1. Mr.. Rich also
stated that the duties would devolve
upon the director of public safety for
the present.
Refers to Politics.
Mayor Smoot stated that there are
more or less fire department politics
in this city Continuing. he said. in
part: "I know that under the new
form of government council spent
three months in trying to secure the
services of a city manager, and the
question is whether the city manager
is going to manage or not Mr.. Rich
has got to make good, and 1 move the
resolution be laid on the table.
In reply Mr.. Ticer declared he was
fully aware of the powers granted the
city manager, but why wait, he asked.
The citizens he declared have had a
siege of watchful waiting and now
have begun to ask questions concern
ing the new form of government
Mayor Smoot told Mr.. Ticer if coun-
Gil entered into this they might as
we'll not have a city manager. Con-
cluding, the mayor said. Until such
q time as Manager Rich demonstrates
he Is not capable I am going to back
him"
Manager Rich explained to council
that there are no charges against
Fire Chief McDermott, and he said
the job of deputy fire chief will be
open for candidates. He further add
ed that the office simply had been
abolished.

termed investment. bankers" and
certain of the so receivers in charge
of failed banks in Nebraska, had de.

There are bankers in Nebraska
who have capitalized failures by fore

banks and there are so receivers and
attorneys for receivers collecting
thousands who are naturally per-
turbed over the creation of a commits
sion of bankers to supervise this busi-

itial meeting of the new commission
held in his office.
Before the commission went into
executive session the governor called
newspaper men In to listen to an ad-
dress he made to members of the
commission. The governor dwelt in
particular on the costly and lengthy
receiverships of the failed banks and
the immense attorney fees charged
against these banks.
He urged the commission to do
everything in its power 10 terminate
receiverships, dispense with costly at.
torneys' fees and attempt to consoli-
date management of failed banks.
The governor also urged that the
commission use 1000 annually from
its appropriation granted by the legls-
