 , Reconsideration Of the wage in- crease recently granted to the local Bremen will take place at the meet ing of the city council on Tuesday
 night, when a recomme ndation will be presented by the fire board, asking
 that s2 extra be given to the men a 1 week instead of the si.50. which was granted. The original request was for
 s2 week more but the salary com- mittee Of the council pruned down
 the amount q half dollar which action did not meet with approval on the
 part of the tiretighters. who are con- fined by their posts and could earn more money in other lines. Because of the efficiency Of the department as shown at the recent fires. the fire board is anxious to keep the present personnel on duty and for that reason. the council will be earnestly request ed to grant the original request. Skeleton companies man the houses at the present time. making duty at all hours of the day and night com pulsory on the part of the men. There is no time off except for meals and when men are away eating, the equip ment is left practically unnamed. Discussion of two platoon system to relieve this situation is now taking place.
