FIRE DEPARTMENT
There now seems to bo no question
but that select council will concur In
the icsolutlon adopted by common
council on Thursday night providing
for a ratification of the contracts for
fire appatatus enteted Into on the day
that Dlieotor of Public Safety F. L.
Wormser nssumed olllce. This will
save the city an Inconceivable amount
of bother nnd will place the llic de
partment In splendid shape before a
month elnpses. The sentiment of tho
majority of the coiincllmen on the
matter Is perhaps best crystnllzcd In
the remarks made on Thursday night
after the council meeting by Com
mon Councilman Luther Keller, who
said:
'I don't believe that It was right to
award the contracts to the highest
blddets, but on the ground of expedi
ency I think It Is best to ratify them.
If we don't we'll get the city Into a
law suit which would probably be
decided In our favor, but which
wouldn't be finished for over a year
and perhaps two jears.
"What wo want now Is to get our
Insurance tates lowered and If we can
do this by securing the new hook and
ladder tiuck and new engine, ns I be
lieve we can, why It's to the advan
tage of eveiy citizen In the city to
get them Just ns soon as possible, even
if we have to pay a little more for
them than wo should."
Theie are some who contend that If
the matter ever did come up In court
tho city wouldn't have things ns much
Its own way ns sofne people Imagine,
alio fact that tho city solicitor ap
piovod the contracts. It Is aigued,
would relieve the lompany from nny
loss In case they wete found to be
Illegally aw aided.
Director of Public Safety Wormser
has gi anted the captains of all the
lite companies a nine clays' vacation,
cc one day mum than the permanent,
men, who arc this e,ir being allowed
eight dajs. Substitutes who nie recom
mended by the chief of the bureau ate
appointed to take the places ot all
men who are off on a vacation.
There seems to be no deaith of ap
plicants for places In the Hie depait
ment. Until he went away a few das
ago, Director Woimser's olllce lescin
bled dally the outer olllce of a poli
tician on the day before election. This
wns all because two men have teslgned
their places ns permanent men, The
director. It Is uiidci stood, is cletei-
nilned to live up to the pioml.se made
by his predecessor. Col. F. L. Hltch
inck, and will appoint none but bunk
or call men, who have pioved them
selves woithy to (ill the vacant places.
Chief .Izelnian, In a iccent com
munication to Director , Wionnser,
pointed out the danger which constant
ly exists by teason of the closeness of
the vviies of the die naitn system to
live electilc light nnd other wlies, and
the diiector has under consideration
seveial plans for the removal of this
danger.
ii nie nie aiaim wue is mown up
against a live who during n tain or
snow stonn It tempoiarily throws the
whole cluult out of older and theie
are several cases on record w here en
tire cli cults have been rendeted use
less for u whole night by this nosslng
of w Ires.
The two ways In which this dlfllculty
could be aveitcd would each entail
much expense. One would be the
stringing of all the circuits with In
sulated wires and the other tho plac
ing of the wlies tindei ground. The
iouuer plan would be much less ex
pensive and will probably be adopted,
If any.
The rcpalis to the C.olmbla hose
house, which will piobnbly be made
by Kvans and company, who are the
lowest bidders, but who have not et
been awarded tho contract, will in
elude new llooiing on each tioor and n
