STEELTON AND FIREMEN DO NOT FAVOR NEW PLAN Move by Which Borough Can Save Money Will Not Be Taken Up by Council Because borough firemen and of ficers of the various companies are very much opposed to a move to place the truck drivers to work in the Bteel plar.t, suggested by Quincy • Bent yvhen he was general manager the local plant. Council will take no action, a member of Council de clared to-day. Frank A. Robbins, Jr., general man ager of the local plant, at a meeting of citizens and taxpayers held recent ly at the home of President Nelley, emphasized the fact that the company would be only too willing to give drivers positions in the plant so that they would be situated close enough to the fire houses to answer a call at any time in a few minutes. Mr. Robbins brought out that this method would be much better than when the horses were used. The men. according to Mr. Robbins, would be able to get to the fire houses before the firemen, who work at the plant can answer the call. Save llorouKh M.iKIO A move of this kind would save the borough more than $:!,000 a year. It is understood. Even with an advance of three and one-half mills on the tax rate ibis year, not enough money is available at the present time. To make a saving of several thousand dollars this year would be timely, in the opin ion of prominent taxpayers. A large number of firemen of all the companies are employed in the steel plant. When an alarm is sent in before the driver, leaves '.he fire house he must wait a short time to A thousand miles without changing cars; freight from coast to coast; fast express from afar; —all are the outgrowth of a great princi ple first applied by . WESTERN UNION when it brought under one system the early unconnected telegraph lines. On this principle of "through connections" all freight, express and sleeping car service is based today.

The question taxpayers are trying to solve now is: "If the firemen can get to the houses In time to answer an alarm, why can't the drivers?" The problem has been debated t>ver and over again since suggested by Mr. Bent and agitated by Mr. Robbins, and it appears the move is unpopular among firemen. That Council will not take any ac tion to-night was emphazled by an official. He declared that the move is not favored and would not be taken up at this time.
