 T don't believe this move would be fair to the captains and lieuten- ants. If we must have third dep uty chief, let's pick him from among the officers after a test, and get a man who deserves the job" the ald- erman said in conclusion.
 Next to speak was Councilman Sablotsky, who declared:
 T am not opposed 10 creating this position If it is to be a benefit to the city. But when the fire board lies to the common council. as happened 'n this case, then l object and ] refuse 70 permit them to cram if down my throat.

 Boyle and Judd Clash
 An attempt al this point to cut off the discussion was made by Alder man William II. Judd and a lively exchange of words followed with Councilman William D. Boyle de manding the parliamentary pro- cedure be followed after the mayor had ruled Sablotsky out of order. The mayor claimed that discussion of the amendment permitted only argument on the striking out of such parts of the ordinance as now relate to the position of the master mechanic. Councilman Boyle insist ed that to intelligently discuss that phase Of the question a discussion of the main question was necessary. After the mayor had ruled to the contrary, discussion went on as be- fore with no attempt to enforce the ruling.
 Alderman Frank Zapatka declar- ed against creating the new job. He admitted the need for mechanical department, but felt, he said, Q higher ranking might be a blow against efficiency.
 Councilman BEle thanked Coun- cilman Bartlett for Stealing my thunder" on the alleged misstate- ment of Chairman ,Dehm with reference to the vote by members of the board. II also appreciate the fact that an effort Is being made to take the sting out of this appoint ment by claiming we are merely creating the job. There is great dis content among the members of the fire department over. the mechan- cal end and we will have more of it If we go through with this idea. It is merely cloak to say he will be in charge of mechanics, and he will be allowed to drop out year from now and make someone else should CT the burden"
 Dehm Contradtcts Bartlett
 Chairman Dehm was given the permission of the floor and he re- iterated his claim that the vote was unanimous and that the records will show 1t to be so. Councilman Bart lett corrected him with reference to the records.
