Fire Commission Not in Harmony
On Discharge Of Substitutes at IS

Information from the school de-
partment showed he was receiving
sos a week. When he began work
for the fire department part Of his
school department salary was de-
Quoted, but 1t was replaced by
the fire board so that his salary re-
manned at SIS although both de-
partments were contributing.
Some Of the matters which We're
to be investigated were a report that
he was receiving two salaries. one
from each department. and that he
purchased the lumber for the floor
ing OF the department without
authority. Before he would talk he
insisted that the statement of the
school department relative to his
pay be entered in the minutes Of
the meeting.
Commissioner Lange defended
Kunz declaring that Kunz was act
ing In good faith. that he hired la
Dor when he thought he would save
the city money and that he purchas-
ed lumber when he found he could
get it cheap. In doing these things
he did not realize he was taking
authority which belonged to some
one else. LANCE said.
Dispute Becomes Warm
| The discussion became heated at
one time when Commissioner Beck
with declared: You are an en-
ploye of the board and should
! answer questions when they are
asked"
To this kunz replied: You won't
answer my questions and don't see
Why l should answer yours"
Finally kunz explained his work
in the fire house and in conclusion
he declared the floor was not laid
properly by L. Anselmo, who was
also present at the meeting.
An argument between kunz and
Anselmo followed. Anselmo claimed
he has laid floors in this city for Is
years and he never heard a COM
plant Of his work before.
Both men we're dismissed from the
meeting. AS he was going out kunz
was assured by the board that it was
not antagonistic when he was asked
to appear, but that 1t wished to be-
come acquainted with the work and
check up on 1t. 1t was found that
$1,000 was left to complete the re-
construction.
Appointed Substitutes
Frank J. Swiatell, 81 years old. Of
60 Trinity street and Stephen Wis
cavage, S3 years old, Of $50 East
street were appointed to the sub
stitute force. Their term of service
began this morning at Z o'clock.
Rudolph Foraeur and Frederick
Macker were rejected because they
failed to pass the physician require
ments.

cal examination and they will be re-
quested to again appear at the next

Il can't see the justice OF dis
charging man after he had been
substitute for many years and has
always shown a willingness to work
even if he has passed the age limit
which would make him ineligible for
regular service" Commissioner Will
liam +. Lange declared at a special
meeting of the fire board last night.
His statement came during a dis
cussion concerning the advisahility
of dropping six substitute firemen
who were over 35 years old and who
would never be eligible for regular
appointments.
The men who have reached the
age limit are James H. Coffey who
was appointed July 10. 1926: Walter
Thurston. appointed April ?, 1928;
Joseph kogelman, who was appoint
ed in 1924: Edward Like, appoint
ed May IS. 1925: John Is. Peterson,
appointed July Is, 1926, and John
TOUGHER. appointed June 10, 1924.
1t was decided to table the matter

existence of a ruling relative to the
retirement OF firemen after they
reach the age of So years.
speaks For Younger Men
| Commissioner Harry Bsckwith
agreed with Mr.. Lange, but Com
missioner James n. Passerini felt
that by keeping the older men on
| the force the board will reach the
limit of IS men and many of the
younger men who try for places on
the substitute force will be turned
away. He pointed out that the
young men will soon become dis
couraged and it will be difficult ia
get good substitutes when they are
needed.
! Commissioner Lange expressed the
opinion that other departments have
consideration for their older ems
ployes. Again he expressed himself
against what he called the injustice
j Of putting men out of the service
after they had been willing to work
whenever called upon.
Chairman James j. Butler sug-
sested that the board recommend an
ordinance which will make it neceA
sary for all substitutes appointed in
the future to retire at the age of s5
years.
The discussion was brought to a
close by Chief Noble who said he
thought a ruling prohibiting men
from serving after they were 81
years OF age was already In effect.
Kunz Appears Before Board
John A. kunz, a contractor In the
service OF the school department
who allotted part Of his time to work
at No. I fire house which is now be-
ing reconstructed. came before the
board In answer to a letter sent him

clerks letter was read in which he
asked that, before he appeared, he
wished an investigation relative e
