VOLUNTEER SYSTEM TO GO
Ordinance Being Prepared and Kill
Be l'ussed Before Jan. 1, und in
Time to Be Included in the City '
Controller's Estimate for the
Fiscal Year 1895 Fre
quent Consultations Have
Been Held Latelv.
Scranton will probably have a paid
lire department,' the change from the
present volunteer service to go into
effect the first of the next fiscal year.
For several weeks Chairman Wade
M. Finn and Charles Schadt, of the
select and common council lire depart
ment committees," respectively; -Chief
H. F. Forber, of the Ore departmtht,
several prominent councilman atid city
officials have been in consultation upon
the matter. The result of their consid
erations la that the time Is ripe for a
paid fire department und that the In
novation will not meet with any oppo
sition. The plans of the prime movers of the
idea have progi tssed to the extent that
an ordinance providing for the change
of the present volunteer system to u
paid department is now being drafted.
The ordinance will be presented to
councils 'immediately and passed be
fore the city controller submits his
estimates of needed appropriations for
the fiscal year 185.
Leading 1 p to It.
It now appears thnt the unusual ex
penditure of extra money upon
the fira department during the
present year was with the pre-ar- i
ranged understanding of the council-
men and others now Interested that the
way for establishing a paid department
next year wonld be attended with re
duced expense and made easier from
an appropriation standpoint. Two
fteamens and a -chemical engine were
purchased, horses und permanent men
added, supplies purchased and repnlrs
made. All this required the passage of j
extra appropriations to the approxi
mate amount of $9,000 In addition to the
$37,000 general appropriation for main
taining the department.
Whenever any of the special appro
priations were advocated by the coun
cilmen now the ardent advocates of a
paid department, considerable opposi
tion was offered. The measures for in
creasing the efficiency of the service
were, however, passed with the result
that the way Is now more clearly open
to securing a paid service at a greatly
reduced exipense.
Details Not Arranged.
The details of the ordinance have not
been fully prepared, but The Tribune
has ascertained the text of the measure
and the obstacles which will have to
be overcome, and Is able to outline the
plan of action proposed by the city of
ficials and councllmen immediately in
terested. .
While many questions have been, en
countered which ml lit hamper a radl
cul and successful change from the
volunteer service, all have been prop
erly met, Including the question of ex
pense, which has been considered the
most important item. It is admitted
that the change will incur a compara
tively small Increase In expenditure
small In fact, nnd small when com
pared with the benefits which will fol
low the change.
Based upon the current year, the ex
penses at the end of the year will ap
proximate nearly $50,000. It Ib esti
mated that the highest possible expen
diture per year for a paid department
will be $75,000, and that If the present
list of sixteen companies Is reduced to
thirteen, the expense will be proportion
ately curtailed, in several sections of
the city two vr more companies are Jo
cuted unnecessarily close to ench other,
while other sections are left unpro
tected. It Is the Intention to at lenst
distribute the compunles and possibly
reduce the number.
Will Enlist Call Men.
Following the example of other cities
of the size of Scranton, It is proposed
toemploy permanently the least possible
number of men, and enlist what are
termed "call men," who will be paid 50
cents per hour for actual fire duty or a
nominal salary of $150 per year. At
present there are twenty paid men; the
majority of whom ure paid part time
while six receive permanent salaries of
$000 a year. The chief of the depart
ment Is Included In the number ,und Is
paid a salary of $1,200. According to
the present understanding, und if all
the existing companies are maintained,
the entire department will contain
ninety-five men. There will be five
engine compunles of eight permanent
men each on salaries of $600, a total of
$24,000; eleven hose companies, five
men each, $33,000. The number of
special, or "call" men, has nut been
specified.
Estimates by the city controller for
the fiscal year 1895 must be presented
In council and referred to committee
not later than the first Monday In Janu
ary. It Is expected that before this date
the ordinance providing for a paid de
partment will have been passed by coun
cils, though one or more special meet
ings may have to be called In order to
get the measure through on time. The
ordinance will be presented by Mr.
Finn.
What O City Official Says.
In commenting upon the proposed
change, a city official prominently con
cerned In the Hutlim said to a Tribune
reporter yesterday:
"Citizens generally are firm in their
belief that Scranton has one of the most
efficient volunteer departments In the
country. This Is undoubtedly true; but
It Is also true that a volunteer system
cannot by any kind of management be
as capable as a paid service. Other
cities of the size of Scranton, and many
of them smaller, have adopted paid de
partments of necessity and the change
in this city has been particularly urged
In view of several recent large fires,
notably the September fire on Lacka
wanna avenue. v .
"The fact that the present depart
ment Is completely equipped, does not
argue that our fire precautions could
not be better. There are occasions
when catastrophes can be averted by a
properly trained force of men who fight
fire as a vocation. A paid department
conducted under competent manage
ment will probably reduce Insurance
rates and Indirectly every resident of I
Ifhe city will feel the benefit of .Increased j
" 1 'i --" :
protection. Another argument, and not
the least Important, is, that a paid fire
department will increase the stability
and standing of the city as a municipal
ity." What Fire und Water Says.
The gentleman said that In connection
with his remarks an extract from Fire
and Water, an authumtive magazine on
fire matters, contained a weighty and
Interesting reference to the recent
Lackawanna avenue fire. The extract
Is as follows: ."It may be argued that
her department Is singularly well
equipped and, therefore, equal to more
than ordinary emergencies, but of what
avail is the most complete equipment to
a department that cannot be handled
with that precision which Is absolutely
necessary under trying circumstances,
and which can be attained only by
training and discipline. Courage and
zeal are necessary qualities for fighting
fire, and under certain circumstances
they are very effectual, but courage and
zeal, supplemented by training and dis
clpllne are far more effectual, and tin
der other circumstances as, forinstanc?,
In the case in point,' these supplement
ury qualities become almost a necessity.
The volunteer service is an excellent
and estimable Institution In its proper
place, but In a city as large as Scran-
ton it Is out of place."
DEATH OF THOMAS LIVF.Y.
A Much Respected Resident of this City
Has 1'utscd Away.
About noon yesterday, Thomas Llvey

ubout two weeks. He wus bom In the

END OF A USEFUL CAREER
Death of Attorney D. . Connolly ut
His Home on Washington Avenue
HAD BEEX1U POROYEK A YEAK
It Was Less than a Month Ago, However,
That Ho Was Confined to Ills Red.
Sketch of the Uusy l ife
' of Mr. Connolly.
A busy, useful life closed yesterday
morning at 4 o'clcok When death ended
the Bufferings of Attorney Daniel Ward
Connolly, who 'for twenty years had
been a prominent figure In the public
life of this city. He was a resourceful,
able man and filled with much ability
the publlo positions to which he woa
culled.
Mr. Coiiupliy suffered an attack of
the grip two years ago, and since then
his health was not robUBt. For the
last year he had been practically an
invalid, but heroically continued to at

the hope of recruiting his health.
OnNov.9he wus stricken with paraly
sis of the side: nnd wus confined to
his room since under the care of Dr. W,
10. Allen. For two weeks past no hopes
were entertained of his recovery and
his death yesterday morning was not
a surprise to his family or intimate
friends, although the news came in the
nature of a -sad shock to his many
acquaintances: and members of the bar
with whom, he had been long and Inti
mately ussoclnled.
The Career of Mr. Connolly.
