had fallen down, but Mr. Herring did
not amend his original paper. To

mentioned days whereupon the com
pany's counsel asked time to look
up weather conditions and other in
formation at those periods. Chair
man Ainey granted the continuance

John P. Guyer and Norman Graham,

ed to ride on front platforms, that
cars were off schedule, overcrowded
and had flat wheels. He charged
various other things showing poor

sel rejoined that weather conditions
were abnormal this winter and ma
terials hard to obtain. The company

FIREMEN'S UNION
ASKS FOR LIGHTS
Members Placed on Commit
tee to Prevent In
cendiary Fires
At the monthly meeting of the
Firemen's Union, held tyst evening in
the Friendship enginehouse, a red
light in front of every tire com
pany house was again asked for, as
notice at night of the intending de
parture of *.he Are apparatus. ,
The subject of smoke helmets was
again brought before the union, and
•Commissioner Gross urged to hurry
up their delivery. They could have
been used to much advantage during
the Hotel Lenox lire Monday night.
Every member of the Firemen's
Union was made a member of the
committee on prevention of fires by
incendiarism. This by request of the
stale lire marshal.
The parade of the
Harrisburg tire departtnent at Lan
caster, state Jire convention week,
was increased from five to fourteen
members, one from each company.
Initial steps were taken to form a
Dauphin county firemen's associa
tion, and every company to be repre
sented in the Lancaster parade.
The Cumberland county authori
ties will be urged to improve the
roads on the west shore, that fire
apparatus from Harrisburg can pass
over them safely when called upon
to help in emergencies. Several of
our fire engines weigh nearly live
tons each, and one was badly handi
capped by ruts and mud while going
to a fire and nearly wrecked.
_ The delegates to the Firemen's
Union are to report at the next
monthly meeting in the Hope house
on the sentiment of their companies
relative to the request of the city
commissioner to take from their pri
vate company funds moneys to pay
debts of the city—moneys obtained
by the volunteer firemen from dues,
fines and *>ther personal contribu
tions to the company personal fund.
A demand for information as to
why there is so much delay in pro
viding a permanent home for the
Citizen and the Mt. Vernon com
panies, one now housed in the
Friendship, and the other in the
Hope enginehouse.
The men reported that they had
numerous congratulations* and
thanks on account of the prompt
response to, and the very efficient
handing of the Hotel Lenox fire. A
man from another city, room
ing in the Metropolitan Hotel, and
who saw the blaze coming through
the roof of the Lenox, declared on
the moment ,that no power on earth
could prevent the destruction of the
entire building,' and probably the
whole city block. The work of the
Bremen was so rapid and effective
that every room in the Lenox is opin
for the comfortable reception of
guests. ,
TO PLAN' FOR RAISING
OF MORE POULTRY STOCK
Plans for distributing free chicks
