Bremen in Future to Be Publicly Commended For
 MeritOriOus Service

Waterbury f1remen who disting- uish themselves by their conduct while on duty in the future will be cited and commended, as the result of a vote yesterday by the board of fire commissioners. The plan was sug- gested by Commissioner Frank Hea- ley.
 The chief of the department will report any extraordinary meritor- ious service on the part of any fire man to the board, and the citation will go on record.
 Commissioner Frank English, named by Mayor Frank Hayes to succeed Commissioner Frederick w. Chesson, was sworn in. Commis- sioner William Verricker, named to succeed Commissioner Thomas Me- Carty, did not appear at the meet ing.
 Commissioner Healey told the board that the committee on men and discipline is still studying the request of firemen for additional time off each month and is not yet ready to report.
 The board voted to allow the fire marshal and his staff to establish their quarters in the meeting room of the police and fire boards. At present the marshal has tiny office adjacent to the chiefs office. Permission was given Chief Thom- as F. Cavanaugh to attend the state chiefs convention in Stamford Sat- urday.
 The board referred to the chief an offer from the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Go. to turn over to the city the cross arms and feeder wires on poles on the old South Main street trolley line.
