FIRE HOUSE BARRED
 FROM RUSSwIN PLOT
Land Deeded for Park Closed to New
 Station

Plans of the board of fire com- missioners for a fire station in the western section of the city were giv- en a setback today when Chairman James J. Butler of the fire board was informed by Treasurer I. D. Russell of the Russwin Land O.. that the West Main street plot view ed as a possible site. has been deed- ed to the city for park purposes only, and cannot be used for a fire house.
 The fire boards request for $50.- 900. already favorably voted by the board of finance and taxation, did not contain an item for land. but it was explained by the commissioners that there is some latitude in the estimates and that economies 'n construction are planned which will afford funds for a site in the event the city's property is not available.
 MT. Russell expressed regret that he could not see his way clear to raise the restriction. but felt. he said that it would be unfair to persons who purchased home sites from the Russwin Land Co.,, with the thought in mind that this plot would be pre- served at all times for park pur- poses.
 Several protests were made to the land company's treasurer after 1t became known that the site was under consideration.

 The payroll signed by Alderman Walter R. Falk as mayor pro tenn. yesterday, was used today by City Engineer P. A. Merriam as part of a general refutation of the alder mans statement that economy is not being practiced in the depart ment and that common labor is be- ing paid more than foremeh.
 The alderman, speaking to col- leagues at a meeting of the finance committee of the common council last night said he had discovered that laborers are being paid more than the men who direct them and gave as a possible solution the fact that the council fixes the salary of foremen but does not have jurisdic- tion over labor.
 A study of the payroll today. it is said. shows but one instance in which person not a foreman re- ceives as much as a foreman, this being the case of the catch basin eductor operator who works seven days . week. while foremen work but six days.
