Crippling llic Fire Department.
A reporter from the Hii : : met Mayor
Hrontch yesterday iiiul tisltctl him what
truth there was In n report eoncurtiliiK un
overlap In the money Intended for the iiru de
part incut.
"Thuro is n great deal of truth In the
report , " Bald the mayor. "Tho police and
lire commission Is now engaged In Investigat
ing the subject. Wo met last night , con
sidered u number of bills , looked back over
past accounts , saw what had been p.iid out ,
what had been ordered and about
what the levy would place at our dis
posal for the lire department. Wo did not
conclude our labors before adjournment was
talien. We did not , consequently , got nil the
facts that wo required , but wo gleaned
enough to know that there will bo u great
overlap In the 11 ro dcpaitmcnt fund. The
exact amount of this overlap wo have not yet
been able to determine. Weaio still work
ing on the subject and arc satlsllcd that it will
require the discharge of one-half of the mem
bers of the lire department and ticlng up of
Bevcrul of our hose carts. "
"What has orc.isioncd the overlap I"
"Well up to the present time , a great deal
of attention has been bestowed upon
the police department In ttio at
tempt to get it in condition.
Thai department has now been brought to u
pretty satisfactory condition. During this
time , the lire department has been permitted
to run along , receiving only such attention as
It could reasonably expect owing to the pe
culiar condition of atTairs consequent upon
the misunderstanding which existed be
tween the council and police and lire
board. Articles were purchased and ma
terial was secured , not in u necessarily ex
travagant manner , but in such a way as will
require the cutting down of the membership
mid the machinery of the department by at
least CO per cent. The levy for the support
of the organi/ation is not adequate for the
purpose.
"Hereafter , " continued the mayor , "the
possibility of n recurrence of this unforlu-
.nnto stnto of affair will never take place , at
least , during my administration. Our com
mission has just emerged from all its difll-
rulties and wo now feel that we can run the
departments committed to us without the in
terference of oilier parties. Wo are now
getting our reports into shape , opening books
for the keeping of our accounts and wo sys
tematizing the affairs of the ottleo that not u
cent will bo expended which is not
within the limit and demanded by
the circumstances of the case. After
this no purchases will bo allowed
to bo made by anybody , except by the board ,
nnd both departments will bu run witli 'busi
ness attention and on business principles. "
The reporter then called upon Chief fal- !
llgan , and was told that ho had heard the
commission had arrived at ttio conclusion
ubovo detailed. Ho of coin-so regretted that
It was necessary to take the step referred to.
It would have an injurious cITcct upon the
city , to say nothing of the danger which
would result from depriving the town of its
present , by no means too largo lire organi/u-
tion , Sornp way , ho thought , o'ught to be de
vised to maintain thedepartment , even though
there was nn overlap , because nobody could
tell what lire might take place to destroy a
dozen times moro than the levy provides
lor.
lor."What
"What is the levy ? "
"For the police force , I think , " said the
chief , , , it is Hvo mills on the dollar on : i
valuation of $ lC.tWX)0 ) ) ( ) ; for the lire depart
ment four nnd one-half mills. "
"What has been the expense of the de
partment for the last ycarl"
"It was fclO.OOO for the last nine months.
That included the pay of men , purchase and
Hiipport of horses , imrchaso and repairs of
npjmralus and improvement to houses. "
J'How largo n force have you now ! "
"There are llfty-two men , includ
ing lino-men. supcrintcndcnls , chiefs
nnd everybody ; six two-horse carts ami u onc-
liorso curt , two hook-and-hulder trnckstwen-
ty-ono horses and three steam engines but
two of these are no good , having become
used up by long usage , " .
"Is the city well supplied now with flro
apparatus and men I"
"If every section of the town had what it
ought to have , the present equipment should
bu increased by one cart at Walnut hill , an
other at ICount/o place in the northern part
of the city , and a third in the southern part ,
say Vlnton and Twenty-third or Twenty-
fourth streels. "
linker's Salary Slopped.
Mr. linker , suporinlendenlof the construc
tion of the city hall , sat easily and comfort
ably In a chair in the ofllco of the board of
public works jesterday. Ho was greatly
enjoying a litlle excursion in lliu history of
this city which was being taken by Chairman
liulcombe.
The lin ! : reporter disturbed the supcrtn
tcndent to the extent of asking him if ho had
yet been not Hied by Mayor Hroatch that ho
was no longer lo consider himself in the cm-
ploy of the city.
"I have had no notification , " said the gen
tleman , "except what I got in the HII : : . "
Ho smiled and again turned his attentive
car to the chairman's story.
The reporter later questioned Mayor
Uroalch about Hakcr's salary.
' I have not yet notified him , " ho said , "but
lie will probably receive the notification to-
iluy. I wrote it out last night , but did not
Rend it. I forgot his llrst name and some-
body'stolo the directory out of my oRlco. Hut
It makes no difference. 1 have already given
orders that no voucher must bo made out
for liis salary and my note will tell him that
ho is not under pay of the city. "

A GAS FAMING.
Councilman I < cc Wunt.s to Have Sucli
n I'OKHlhlllty Removed.
Councilman Lee was seen yesterday and
asked \\luit , in his mind , would conduce to a
"gas famine , " which was contemplated by a
resolution of his introduced into Iho council
a couple of weeks ago.
"A big lire , such as the works experienced
a short time ago , " ho said , "or an explosion ,
such as is liable to occur at any time , would
deprive Iho city of light. "
"How could this be remedied } "
"Hy establishing duplicate works or erect
ing another reservoir in a different part of
Iho city. Tills is the only city of its si/c in
the country which lias but one gasworks. "
"What has been done with your resolu
tion {
"The committee on gas nnd electric lights
has failed to report and at the next mceling
of Iho council I'm going to bring Iho matter
up again and have some airing of it' "

CLEANING UP !
Our patrons , who at the opening of past seasons , have examined
our stock of men's and boy's clothing , will endorse when we state that
we enter a second season with new goods only. Our spring goods are
already on the way , and we must make room for them. We have not
the space to carry over a heavy stock of winter goods as is done by
most clothiers. Our largely increased business compels us to utilize
every foot of room in our establishment for the transaction of our
daily business and we are therefore comDelled to close out every hea
vy weight garment on our counters. To do this we make any necessa
ry sacrifice in pricess. The reductions we have made on overcoats
and suits , and the values we are offering , will surprise everybody. To
bargain seekers this is the greatest opportunity , as the pri ce of every
garment is about one half what other houses ask for same qualities. ,
To make a clearance of a large lot of all wool scarlet shirts and
drawers , we offer them at 35c. This is an immense bargain , as they
are good , heavy goods and would , in the early season , be cheap at 75c.
What little there is left of Fur , Jersey and Knit Caps , is offered at
one-half what they are worth. Closing out odds and ends of gloves ,
furs and mufflers , at greatly reduced prices.
b
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
