Tin.' overpowering heal of last niglit did"
u-t have nmeli ellect upon the attendance
at tin! staled meeting of city councils,
there beinj ;i large turnout in both
brunches. It was the expectation upon
all hands that business of importance
would be transacted, in view of the fact
that the special committee en the reorgan
ization of the lire department, had iiuished
their labors and prepared a long report
upon t lie subject, which is reproduced in
full te day upon our fourth page. As will
be seen from the proceeding-, reported in
detail below, council, after a spirited de
bate, iu which buth the paid and volun
teer systems had their staunch .supporter,
resolved te cling te the present .system iu
a revised form and with a reduced number
of companies. The proposed lire alarm
telegraph met with very general favor,
and the special committee in charge of
the subject is centini ! with authority te
flirt Iter inquire in! : he feasibility and
cost of its establish .i -lit here, and also te
draft rules for the government of the re
organized department.
During the interval since last meeting
of council the chamber of the select branch
has undergone some decided and long
needed improvements. The stairway
leading from the lower main entrance has
been handsomely painted and the walls
kalsemiucd, while within the chamber it
self a handsome brussels carpet has taken
the place of the dilapidated and ragged
old rag that formerly did service iu that
capacity, while the walls had been
adorned with a paper of a pretty
pattern, and the whole place new pre-
scnts an appearance ei chcerlnliiess that
hitherto has been foreign te it. Chairman
Zecher, of the finance committee, we be
lieve, proposes te carry the geed work into
the chamber of the common council and
t'ltis redeem that room also from the deso
late condition iu which it has been se long.
Select Council.
The following members weie present :
Messrs. Uarr, IJergcr, Deorr, Franklin,
.ludiih, G. W. Zecher, Philip Zecher, and
Evans, president.
Mr. Franklin's motion that the reading
of the minutes be dispensed with was car
ried and the clerk .smiled his thanks.
Mr. G. AV. Zecher moved that action be
taken en the reorganization of the lire de
partment. It was a matter that needed
council's immediate attention. Several
systems had been proposed, but te bring
the matte;- before councils he would move
that the "call" system be adopted. He
was for no particular plan, but
wauled something done. The examples of
the last few weeks proved this, lie would
like the matter freely discussed.
Mr. Fniukliu thought, tee, that the
"call" system "was the best, provided
suitable arrangements could be made with
the companies as te renting their houses
and apparatus, and would like te sec a
cemmittee see the different cempanic; and
ascertain their terms.
Mr. G. W.Zecher said he had rcceiwd the
terms of a manufacturing company with
reference te tenting apparlus for one or
many years. The speaker then rehearsed
the most serious defects in the present
system the water lights, the refusal of one
company te lend another hose, the fre
ipteney of lire.-', and the disobedience te the
chief's orders.
Mr. Franklin agreed with Mr. Zecher
en the latter subject. If councils would
pay a chief they would getter belter work
from that eilieial.
Mr. Zecher iu calling for the " question "
stated that if .some did net like the " call "
system let us retain the volunteer system
with a reduction of engines.
The vote en the adoption of the " call "
system was put and carried unanimously.
Mr. Franklin asked that, the com
mittee be continued ; that they
see the seveia! companies about their
terms of rental and report at next meet
ing ; also what an alarm telegraph can be
purchased for. Carried.
Mr. G. W. Zecher presented a petition
for the guttering of Plum street, from
Orange te the railroad, and moved that it
be referred te the street committee with
power te act ; the motion was agreed te
but common council refused te concur.
Mr. Zecher presented the monthly re
port of the city treasurer. The report
showed the receipts for the month of Au
gust te be 9,801.59; the expenditures
$17,1(31.88; balance en hand 19,250.51.
Mr. Zecher presented a message from
his 'honor the mayor, which the clerk
read. It was en the recent changes in the
police, in relation te the suspension of,elli
cer Jehn MeDevit, of the Fourth ward, for
non-perferinanco of duty, and officer Cas
per Weitzel, of the First, for being found
in a private dwelling during duty hours.
The document was, en motion of Mr.
Zecher, referred te the committee en ex
ecutive appointments.
The report of the water committee was
read and approved.
Mr. Gee. W. Zecher, when the action of
common council in refusing te concur in
the matter of lire reorganization was
transmitted, moved that a committee of
conference be appointed te consult with a
similar committee from common council,
for the purpose of adjusting the differences
between the two bodies. Agreed te, and
Messrs. Gee. W. Zecher and Franklin
were appointed.
Mr. Gee. W Zecher presented the report
of the beard of health ; a communication
from the same iu regard te the defective
sewerage ; and a communication from J.
D. Pyottte him as chairman of the finance
committee with reference te the number
ing of houses e:i West Orange street.
The clerk then read the several docu
ments. The beard of health was working
admirably ; the ether paper denounced
the defective drainage of Seuth Water
street near Andrew. Mr. Pyett-jn a letter
told of the improper way iu which houses
were numbered in West Orange aud in the
new streets iu that section, disarranging
the numbering of that entire section, ail of
which were rcfcrried te the preper com
mittees, as was also a resolution providing
for the numbering of houses in West
Orange stfect, in the manner suggested
by Mr. Pyott. Common council con
curred. The ordinance known as "Common J
Council Ordinance Ne. 2," in relation te
street excavations passed the select council
unanimously. It is printed in the pro
ceedings of common council.
City Solicitor Stcinmctz presented a
communication legally answering a ques
tion as te whether the city is responsible
for the expenses of the beard of health in
the purchase of blank books, documents,
etc. He was of the opinion that the city
must assume all debts of such a charac
ter, and. quoted from the digest of city
ordinances te sustain this view.
Mr. G. W. Zecher; taking advantage of
the "rest" in which councils had stepped
te "cool off, wanted te knew ii the lire-1
business hadn't better be settled.
Mr. Evans, who has been favorable te
the present system and of the opinion that
a paid lire depattment will eventually
come of itself, told councils he understood
their feelings, no one was ready te name
the company or companies te be ordered
out of service.
Mr. G. W. Zecher said he was ready te
take his r-tand and name the companies.
The committee of conference retired
and iu a a short time returned. Mr.
Franklin said the conference committee
had agreed te report en a volunteer sys
tem and he would move that councils re
consider their former action iu regard te
the adoption of the "call" system. It
was seconded by Mr. Zecher aud carried.
Mr. Franklin moved that council amend
their action by the adoption of the volun
teer system as prescribed in the commit
tee '.s plan, the rest of their endorsement
standing. AH voted iu its favor except
President Evans.
Adjourned.
Ceimiiuu Council.
The following named members answered
te the clerk's call of the roll :
Messrs. Albert, Barnes, Heek, Drewn,
Cormeny, Cox, Everts, Fisher, Franklin,
Hays, lluber, Jehnsen, MeMullen, Mid Mid
dleten, Ostermayer, Smeyeh, Stene,
White, Yackly, Lcvergoed, president.
Mr. Jehnsen moved that reading of the
minutes be dispensed with, te which prop prep
osition the swe'tcring solens gratefully
acceded.
Mr. Jehnsen presented the petition of
property holders en Plum street between
East King aud Orange, asking for the lay
ing of a gutter, which went te the street
committee.
The same gentleman presented a peti
tion for the vacation of an alley running
between aud parallel with West Chestnut
and West Walnut streets as laid out iu
the city plan adopted by the court in 1877,
the subscribers explaining that the own
ing of said alley would prove only an in
convenience and burden, in view of the
fact that there are new open two alleys
supplying tire place of the same. Referred
te the street committee.
Mr. Ostermayer presented a petition for
the erection of a lamp en Market slrect
betwecil Liberty and Clay. Rcfeircd te
the lamp committee.
Mr. Jehnsen presented the petition of
the American Rapid telegraph cempauy.
signed by Edwin Reed, the president of
that new corporation, asking for permis
sion te erect aud maintain a line of tele
graph wires and pests en the following
.streets of the city, viz.: Commencing at
city limits en East King street,
te Middle street, thence te Church,
tlieuce te Conestoga, thence te
Filbert, thence te Lafayette, thence te
Maner, thence te Charlette, thence te
turnpike, or such ether streets eralleys as
may iu the judgment of the city councils
be te the best interests of these concerned.
Mr. Jehnsen moved that the prayer of the
petitioners be granted ou condition that
all pests erected by the same be painted.
Mr. Hays was opposed te granting any
new privileges te telegraph companies un
less the city nere te derive some revenue
from the same, ami Mr. Albert moved te
amend Mr. Jehnsen's motion by reference
of the subject te the street committee with
directions te report upon the same te coun
cils. Mr. Jehnsen explained that any de
lay, iu the matter was ve y undesirable
from the circumstances of the case, aud
hoped the street committee would be al
lowed te exercise its discretion in treating
with the petitioners en this important
question. After some further talk upon
the matter it was placed in the hands of
the committee, with power te aet, under the
stipulated conditions that all pests put up
by the company shall be painted, and the
same erected under supervision of the
street commissioner ; in which action select
council concurred.
Mr. Middlcten presented the report of
the committee en printing aud stationery,
stating the approval of various bills.
The report of the treasurer of the Amer
ican lire company was prescrnctl by Mr.
Cox, chairman of the firccngine and hose
committee, setting forth the financial
condition of said company, from which it.
appeared that the debts of the organiza
tion amount te about $:)00.
Common council ordinance Ne. 1, being
a series of regulations for the government
of the beard of health, which passed first
reading some months since, was en motion
of Mr. Franklin referred back te the com
mittee with which it originated, for amend
ment. Consideration of common council ordi
nance Ne. 2, providing against injuries te
roadways from excavations therein was
resumed. At the last stated meeting its
sections were severally adopted, with the
exception of section 2, te which certain
amendments were proposed by Mr. Mid Mid
dlceon and Dr. Davis, and this section, as
amended, was new taken up aud passed
and the ordinance adopted as a whole. It

Mr. Cox presented a communication
from the chief engineer of the lite depart
ment, wherein he informed councils that
he had imposed a fine of $25 each, en -the
American aud Friendship companies, for
indulging in the recent water fight ou
Plum street, and $10 en the Shi tiler for
their refusal te lean their hose te the Hu
inane company at the lire en Love Lane,
when requested te de' se by Assistant
Engineer Jacobs. Council approved
the chief engineer's action. Select cenn
cil concurred.
When the report of the special commit
tee en reorganization of the lire depart
mcut,as printed entire en our fourth page,
came ever from select council with the
action of that body adopting the "call" sys
tern as reported above, Mr. Barnes moved
te concur, and Mr. Cox moved te amend
by non-concurring. Mr. MeMullen thought
it a geed idea te empower the committee
with authority te confer with the several
lire companies te secure information as te
what arrangements could be made with
them for the purchase or rent of their ap
paratus, aud also with the manufacturers
of fire apparatus, with the object of attain
ing the end of the project adopted by
the select council, namely, the establish
ment of the "call" system en the most
advantageous terms.
Mr. Franklin regarded the action of se
lect council as premature and hasty ; they
had adopted a plan which had been very
imperfectly and loosely explained by the
special committce fhaviug the subject in
charge, and with the details of which the
great body of council and of our citizens
generally arc totally ignorant net, he
explained, that he desired te east any re
flections upon the manner in which the
committce had performed the work con
fided te them ; he believed, en the con
trary, that they had done their best. It
is proposed, however, te abolish a system
new in operation, aud substitute therefer
one which wc knew nothing about. Mr.
Franklin openly avowed that he was an
advocate of the volunteer fire department,
and drew a parallel, in which he com
pared it with our volunteer militia system.
Ne oue disputes that our militia is au
effective organization. It is, te be sure,
under the strictest discipline aud subject
te iullexible rules ; why cannot we carry
the same species of discipline into the
government of our volunteer ('fire depart
ment, and, while maintaining the volun
teer system, subject it te the rigid disci
pliue of the municipal authorities ?
Mr. McMulIen, while conceding that it
was a little het te make a speech about fire
at this time, though the subject presented
by the report of this committee one of
such magnitude as te demand earnest and
immereate attention. The yards of peti
tions that have come before councils bear
ing en this theme of reorganization of the
fire department .sufficiently attest the pub
lic interest felt therein, and admonish
councils te deal with it in no half-way
manner ami without needless delay. He
disputed the parallel sought te be estab
lished by Mr. Franklin between a volunteer
fire department and our militia system.
The latter is net by any means run en the
vehlntccr theory. The state owns all the
property and appurtenances of our
militia organization, aud they are
under the absolute command aud
disposition of the commonwealth. Is
this se with fire companies as con
ducted under the volunteer system'.'
Net at all. Yeu may prescribe " rules "
for the government of a department
operated upon this principle, but if the
companies don't like them they can treat
them with contempt and tell you that they
own their houses and their engines, hose
carriages and elher apparatus, and with
draw them from service at any time they
please. The plan of a paid lire depart
ment has been found absolutely indis
pensable iu cities of the size and import
ance te which our own is rapidly attain
ing, aud this "call" system which has
found favor with select council and
which is se fully explained by the special
committee, despite Mr. Franklin's criti
cism te the contrary is an approach te the
paid system that it is desirable should be
cordially approved by councils aud put te
the test of practical experience, premising
as it does the gradual acquirement by the
city of necessary apparatus aud the ulti
mate establishment of the paid system.
A vote being taken the motion te concur
with select council appeared te be lest,
and the chair se declared, there being no
disposition te call for a division.
Te select council's request for a com
mittee of conference common council
acceded, aud Messrs. Cox and Rees were
appointed en the part of common council
te confer with Messrs. G. W. Zecher and
Goe. M. Franklin, representing the ether
branch. It was subsequently announced
by the clerk of select council that the con
ference committee had agreed te report in
favor of the volunteer system as outlined
by the special committee, said committce
te be retained and te report at the next
meeting of councils the probable cost of
sccuriug a fire alarm telegraph ; also that
select council had rescinded its former
action in adopting the "call" system and
acceded te the recommendations of the
committee of conference.
Mr. McMulIen thereupon again took the
fleer in opposition te the action of the
committee of conference in recommend
ing the volunteer system. He contended
that the volunteer system se-'callcd in op
oration in Reading and ether "cities was
net at all similar te that here proposed.
In these places the city owned the appar
atus which was consequently under the
complete control aud management of the
municipal authorities. The volunteer
plan as contemplated Mr. McMulIen des
ignated as vicious and no improvement
upon that new in operation. By its ad
option, he said, councils would threw
themselves open te the suspicion of pol
itical or ether unworthy motives. He
would 'net say that the disposition se
strongly manifested by some of his fellow
members te retain the volunteer system
arose from the fact that they were presi
dents, treasurers or influential members
of volunteer companies, nor from
the circumstance that the men who
compose these companies have votes
that can be used with effect in electing or
defeating cettncilmcn, but he weuhT'say
that this proposed retention of a volunteer
system was in direct contravention of the
wishes of the citizens of Lancaster as can
be amply attested by the abundance of
petitieus that have poured iu upon coun
cils asking for a change. Mr. McMulIen
said he would never vote te appropriate a
dollar for the support of a fire department
that did net eventually leek te the estab
lishment of a paid svstem.
Messrs. Cox and Barnes indulged in au
intercharge of opinions, the former for and
the latter against the volunteer plan, and
then Mr. Franklin took te iloer te deny
the soft impeachment made by Mr. Mc
MulIen that his action in contending for
a volunteer system was in any way in
tluenced by his relation- with the present
department, andhetl'cleclared, " I won't
allow auy gentleman te impugn my
motives or the motives of ethers, who are
advocating with me the same side of this
discussion." He concluded with a vigorous
defense of the volunteer system aud its
sujierier virtues ever any ether plau.
A vete was taken and the action of
select council in appreviug the report of
the eenimitttce of conference in favor of
the volunteer plan was concurred in.
After action upon the several ether mat
ters, sent ever from select council, as re
ported in the proceedings of that body,
common council adjourned, after a session
that may be truthfully described as
"warm " in mere senses than one.
