SAYS CHEMICALS NOT INJURIOUS At the city council meeting Mon day there was some discussion as to the use of chemicals in fire fighting and the fact of their abandonment b7 the fire department of Omaha be cause of damage that they did to property. In speaking of this mat ter, E. J. Weyrich, who was for sev eral years chemical man for the local fire department, states that the chem icals used in the large tanks here was not injurious. When mixed and placed in the tanks for use Mr. Wey rich states that the fluid is like a combination of soda and salt3 which will not stain or eat any fabric or material and is perfectly harmless in that respect. This is the solution that the local department used, altho some of the smaller fire extinguishers that may have been secured had an acid fluid. In the opinion of Mr. Weyrich the Omaha department prob ably' decided - to do away with the chemical apparatus for other reasons than that of the damage of the fluid.
