FIREMEN NEED MORE MONEY.
State Association Spent $1,200 for Ben-
efits In 1900.
The Connecticut State Fireman's As-
sociation Is evidently finding It difficult
work to cure for its sick and injured
members. widows and orphans, and 1111
a result It calls upon Its members
throughout the state to seek. through
their representatives to the General
Assembly. an increase of the annual
appropriation of 88.000.
This Is a matter that vitally concerns
many firemen of New London.
John S. Jones. secretary of the seed
elation, has issued this circular letter.
“You are evidently aware that our '
association will be compelled to ask
the legislature at its coming session.
for an additonal appropriation. I11 or-
der to meet the sick and death claims.
and also the large number of orphans
on our list. and that in so doing we
need the cooperation of every them
her of the association.
”Therefore we desire that In all sec
tions of the state. the. members make
it their duty to talk the subject over
with the members of the. legislature
In their several localities. and request
them to stand by the firemen when
their claims are. brought before the
general assembly.
“The $8,000 11 year has proved entire-
Iy inadequate to meet the demands for
the sick and dying. as during the last
year the amount paid out. was ovcr
$l2.000. When the present appropria-
tion was made the association had
about 150 companies. now the number
is two hundred and fifteen. Then we.
had nine orphans on our lists. now wt-
havc thirty-one.
“it Is also proposed to have the law
firemen. from poll and military tax
after a service of five consecutive
years.
“Our assoeiation now represents be
tween seven and eight thousand fire-
mon throughout the state. and should
therefore impress the members of the
legislature with the fact of our growth.
and cause for our demand for Increase
of appropriation."

NEW YORK. December III—Thomas

thought that the suggestion was a

My object was to show that any one
