current Issue has this to say:
"The city of Scranton, Pa., with n
population of 110,000, still clings to the
seml-pnld and semi-volunteer lire de
partment This would bo bad enough,
but It is not half the talo of woe. Un
til within the pnst few weks It has
had only about one-fourth nn adequate
Bttpplv of hose
"When recently Inspected by a repre
sentative or "City Government," the
department was found to lnck disci
pline, thorough organization and ttnln
lug among lit paid momWs. Threo
now hook nnd bidder trucks and 0110
now engine were also badly needed.
Tho flro alarm telegraph Is contracted
out to the local telephone company
and frequent mistakes occurr. Tho
chl"f Is powctless to chnnge this condi
tion of things becnuso the service l-
not under his management.
'"Knotigh money has been spent on
the department annually to make It
equal to the full paid service of Klmlni
but no one seems to know howi the
wretched condition of Its nffalts camo
to pnss.
"The present chief Chnrles Walker,
hns only been nt the bend for a. few
months, but has taken hold of the work
with a vigorous hand nnd is thoroughly
rp-organlzlng the service from tho
ground up. If be receives sufficient co
operation he will soon make the Scran
ton department second to none In tho
state of Pennsylvania."
