ffREMEN HEAR
REPORT OF THEIR
DELEGATE MONDAY
Local Street Commissioner and Mar.
shall Attends State Convention
And Gives Results

A regular meeting of the Filler
Volunteer Fire department Monday
evening was featured by the report
OF L. d. Allen, who was delegate
from here to the state convention OF
firemen at Burley last month.
Because of its interesting and In
structive features, The Record here
with prints the report OF Mr.. Allen
in full:
arrived at Burnley about 1880
o'clock a. m. on the morning OF the
18th but did not report at the meet
ing until the afternoon session
from which learned that the meet
ing had been called to order at 10 a.
m. with President Bob Stewart OF
Bull presiding An address OF well
come had been delivered by the
Mayor and all of the other custom
airy formalities had been gone over
and the deck cleared for the great
rush OF business that was about to
be thrust upon il, whereupon the
president called the attention OF those
present that the hour of ~ had
anu lAOAAOh ~ aAJOaAA
would be in order.
During the afternoon session the
first subject for discussion was
Question by Dad Burrows OF Jer-
ome) is the State Firemen's Assoc
alton worth while? After consider
able tayk without much being said
1t was agreed that it is really worth
the effort.
Next was the subject of fire drills
and the teaching of fire prevention
in the public schools After due
consideration the Legislative COM
mitee was instructed to draft bill
and introduce the same at the next
meeting OF the state Legislature,
which, il it becomes a law will make
II compulsory to teach fire proven
ton in all public. private and poroc-
HAL schools in the state OF Idaho
where 10 or more pupils are enroll
lei
Then came the subject of bill
to create an office of State Fire Mar
shall. similar to that of California,
Ohio. Illinois, New York and several
other states; also a separate Dill 10
provide for pensioning disabled fire
men and firemen who have served
number OF years and have become
retired on account OF service. This
caused a great deal of discussion
whether or not the fire marshal ana
pension should be asked for at the
same time, to which ! expressed my
opinion as follows:
ct will be impossible to get any
ting In the way of pension at TINS
time for the reason that nearly all
legislators will be pledged to stand
on a platform of &c )nomy. and as II
will take an appropriation of some
thing like $4,000 a year to handle
the fire marshals office, the very
tbopght of a pension will kill both
bills"
favored the appointment OF IRE
Marshal and pointed out that II an
efficient man should be app 9inteu,
much good can be done In the next
two years in the way Of removing
fire hazards. which should reduce
,ha number OF fires throughout the
state and II this can be accomplished
mtybt bring about a reduction OF
insurance rates. after which the
work Of the firemsn might begin to
he appreciated. but ] strongly ad-
wise against introducing both bills
at this time.
