FIRE DEPARTMENT NEWS
The new rules for the government of
the lire department, which have been
compiled by Dliector of Public Safety
P. L. Woimser, and which are now
being printed, are not to go into effect
until October 1. This decision has
been arrived at on account of a pro
vision In the rules regaidlng the re
moval of members of the depiitment.
This provision provides that no
member of the depaitment shall be
removed after the uile.s go into effort
unless fcpeclfic charges have been pre
feired against him, and then not until
these charges have been heard and
passed upon by a couit ot inquliy,
to consist of five of his equals or su
periors In rank. This will pieclude
the posslbllty of any lemovals for po
litical purposes.
Dliector of Public Safety AVormser
said yesterday to a Trlbuno man that
the rules would not go into effect until
October 1, in order that the depart
ment might be put on a proper plane
ot efficiency before they became oper
ative. "Before this provision for a court
of inquliy goes into effect," said he,
"I want to be assured that the mem
bers ot the department aie competent
and efficient men, and It will take two
moie months to do this. Before that
length of time expites It might be
found necessaiy to lemove someone.
You can say, however, that If any
body Is removed before these rules
go Into effect, It will bo solely and en
tltely for Inefficiency, and for no
other leason."
The director has been largely guid
ed In arriving nt this determination by
reson of the fact that none of the
present members of the department
were nppolnted by him, and he ac
coidlngly has no other means of ar
riving at a knowledge of their fitness
for their positions than his own ob
servations. Director Wormser is exceedingly
anxious to have councils ratify the
contiacts for the hook and ladder
ttuck and new flro engine on the
giound of expediency Ho believes
that If common council passes the res
olution recently adopted by select
council, piovldlng for a re-advertisement,
that the city will be sued by
tho two companies with whom con
tracts have been entered Into, and
that endlefcs litigation will icsult.
Tho new hook and laddei tiuck Is
alieady in the city, and the consump
tion of the flro cnglno has been nearly
completed, so that in case the con
tiactH aie latllled, the two pieces of
nppaiatus would bo ready for uso al
most at once. The fact that llecoider
fConnell has been from the tit st In
favor of latlfylng tho contiacts, and
that tho members nf select council
were mistaken In thinking otherwise
will, It Is believed, soon icsult in the
passage of a second tesolution legal
izing the whole tiansactlon.
The select councl file department
committee Is to consider the question
as to the advisability of the city pur
chasing that part of the flre alarm ss
tem owned by the Gamewell Fire Alarm
Telegraph company and opeiatlng tho
entire system on its own hook. All of
the voluminous cortespondence on the
subject between the company and the
department of public safety has been
turned oer to ths committee.
This correspondence Includes an offer
from the company to rent Its thirty
six Arc alarm boxes to the ilty for n
period of five yents for tl.OnO n enr,
or for a period of ten yrats for the
same figure, with nn agreement to turn
over the boxes to the clt nt the expir
ation of the contract. The company

STUDYING: THE RIVERS.
Important Work Undertaken by tho
United States Geologicnl Survey.
It is not geneinlly known that the
government, thiough the United States
Geologicnl Survey, has been making a
cnrotul study of thu tlveis and tho
linden giound waten supply of the
tommy. So Impoitant has this woik
become, nnd so helpful to ninny widely
ellveislllcd Inteicsts, that a special
branch, known us tlu) division of
hydiography, has been organUed to
conduct It. This division has been In
existence since 1SSS, and Is pushing ltd
Investigations ns rapldlv cs the ap
piopilatlons will admit.
Bioaelly speiklng. Its woik consists
of a caieful Inspection of the habits
and behavior of llveis, I. o., thu vaiia-
tlon of the amount of their tlow
throughout the jenr nnd from jeur to
year. This entails a Jtudy of their
drainage basins and nn nee mate mens
moment of tyielr dlLhnige. The
knowledge thus obtained. Is tho neccs
N.iiy foundation on which all entei
piles contemplating tho uso ot llveis
must depend. In the east many rlveis
valuable as a souue of water supply
are under examination. In the west
for these puipotes alo and for lirl
gatlon they me being measured. Tho
veiy Impoitant matter of river pollu
tion Is one which demands the same
initial Investigations, and the govern
ment Is rendering Its assistance to
clcik nnd save Its gi owing evil.
Out on the gieat plains, wheie tho Uv
ets aie few and tho lainfall Is light,
the undeigiounel well wntets, so neces
sary to the inhabitants, mo mapped
nnd thus made available,
A number of states In different parts
of the country have seen the value of
this woik and have made nppiopila
tlons to have It continued within their
own bordcis moie lapldly and fully
than the government alone could at
tend to conduct It. The county's
water rcsouices, which ate among the
gicatest It possesses, are pi.ictli.illy
Inexhaustible nnd have but Just begun
to be developed.
