VOLUNTEERS PRAISED.
Chief Zlzelmann Not so Complimen
tary in Referring to the Paid
Men of the Department.
I'hlef K. V. .Irelmann, of the flic
department, In n report on the big
Lackawanna avenue lire, whlrh was
sent Into Holeot council last night by
Mayor Molr. sajs some vcty compli
mentary things about the volunteer
firemen and some very uncompliment
ary things about tin; permanent men.
After detailing at some length the
origin of the fire and Its spread, he
aiiHners the criticism that he had
spent, nnarly all the time nt the tire
running the Nay Aug engine by say
ing that he aiose from n sick bed to
respond to the alarm and that he be
came so rhllled that he was obliged to
go to the engine to get himself watm.
Among other things he says the fire
nhows the need of having the labyrinth
of deadly electric wires in the central
part of the city burled underground,
and the necessity of the Immediate
putchase of a new hook and ladder
truck to take the place of the present
ramshackle piece of apparatus which,
he says, the most expert fireman In
the city could not raltc In less than
five minutes.
The chief asserts In the teport that
the fire In the building at 3-'S Lacka
wanna avenue, owned by K. Morris,
w?s "almost certainly of Incendiary
origin," and he recommends that coun
cils direct the chief of police to order
a thorough Investigation of the case.
He refers to the fact that there Is
need of the Immediate adoption of
more stringent Miles governing the
conduct of the permanent men of the
department Under existing rules lie
hap very little rontrol oer them, ho
sa. and continues: "Some of the
permanent men realizing this take de
light In doing Just what they should
not do." The reort concludes as fol
lows: "In conclusion, 1 beg leave to state
that while It I n he regretted that
belter work was not accomplished dur
ing the enrly singes of the fire, the
volunteer firemen deserve great credit
for the noble manner In which they
sacrificed their health during the en
tire afternoon and all of the night of
February S. With the thirty perma
nent men which the eitv boasts of and
two of them rendered hc1plct,p at once
by falling ladders, it can he seen at a
glance that whatever was accomplished
was the work of the volunteer fire
men." Mayor Molr accompanied the chiefs
teport with ii letter of recommendation
of bis own. He leferrcd to the f.ict
that th water pressure was entirely
too low nt the outset of the fire, but
it lucieased at the end. he said. He
stales thai the fire showed the need of
nurrhasliig a new hook nnd ladder
liuek, a new No. 1 engine and a big
supply of pockets to cover the break
in the hose. The firemen, he says, aie
deserving or the highest praise fur
their conduct. He further states that
he Is firmly Impressed with the neces
sity nf reorganizing the department
upon paid lines.
