1 misstonsr; Soon Eligible
to Pension.
George Simpson, battalion chief of
the fire department, who tendrred
his resignation yesterday to Chief
falter, was promoted last spring by
Charles H. AVithnell, former city com
missioner, under circumstances which
caused considerable comment in the
,re department.
On the lay before Withncll went
imt of office in May, he elevated
Simpson from the position of cap
tain to battalion chief and dated the
appointment as of April 14. Simp
son's promotion was made over, the
heads of several members of the fire
department who were entitled to
1 promotion head of Simson. ,
; A week aRO the police morals squad
raided, the Simpson apartments at
609 South Seventeenth street, arrest
ing Mr. and Mrs. Simpson on charges
of maintaining a disorderly house and
took several inmates. Mr. and Mrs.
'j. Simpson forfeited their bonds by
nonappearance in police court. Two
; of the alleged inmates were dis
charged and one was found to be
, afflicted with a , social disease and
sent to the detention hospital.
V Simpson tendered his resignation
rather than take .advantage of the al-
. tentative of asking for a hearing be
fore the city council V .
Simpson had been t member of the
fire department nearly 19 years and
nad only m years to serve before
being entitled to a pension on half
pay. Chief baiter stated that he was
one of the most efficient fire fighters
of the deoarttnent
The manner in which Simpson had
oeen promoted last soring prompted
City Commissioner Zimmtn to post
at all hre houses lists of 25 firemen
who are in line for promotioorc
cordinsr.to their seniority. Promo
tions hereafter will be made on the
basis ef seniority with a requirement
that ability must be shown within six
months before the promotion is made
permanent. ...
