us iiiil l Will" PRESENT

The. Matter wm Over Until July.
Whoa it is Expected That All the
Members of the Board Will he
Present and Vote.

 

 

The South Norwalk Common Counv
oil came together last night and wres-
tled with many problems. the chief of
which was concerning the fire depart»
ment. as to who would be chief. ‘ After
an hour was taken up with parleyiug,

, it was found that no action could be
taken, as there was not a quorum to
vote on the measure.

The matter was brought before the
Council through a communication from
the the department, stating that at a
meeting of the department E. V. Baker
had been nominated as chief of the fire
department. The meeting ran along
rather smoothly until this came up,
then there was a bitch. for it could be
plainly seen that very few of the mem-
bers wanted to place themselves on
record as being in favor of Mr. Baker
or Samuel McGowan.

Councilman Frederick H. Quintard
was not present. and Councilman Les
ter J. Waterbury had to leave the
Council chamber early. ‘Before he
wont be stated that he was in favor
of accepting the resignation or Mr. Mo
Gowan as chief of the fire department
and placing Mr. Baker in his place.
He wanted to havo his vote stand that
way, but he was informed that he
would have to be present if he wanted
his vote to count. As Councilman
Henry C. Sharer was in favor of pine-
ing Mr. McGowan back in the position
at increased salary, Councilman Wat-
erbury asked if he would not pair off
wi .hlm. Dr. Sharer consented. This
lot ‘nly three members to vote. and it
was not until a whole half hour had
been taken up that it was found out
a vote could not be taken. if it was a
possibleithiu‘g‘ that a’vote‘c‘oi‘lld have
been taken, Mr; McGowanwould have
been placed back-in the position. as
Councilman John Paul and Charles B.
Stevens were in favor of him. with
Councilman Jesse M. Ferris willing to
vote any way that was for the best
interest to the city. although he was in‘
clined to. begin fhvlin '0}an Baker. '

lti'w'as‘brought’out quite vividly that
something must be done and quickly.
as the insuranco’wcompanies. finding
out that there was no chief at the
head of the department. had notified
the agents in South Norwalk that they
would have to increase the rates of
insurance. Christian Swartz, who was
in the Council room, stated that he
was notified that his rates would be
increased from 65 cents to $1.15. He
thought that it wasvery important
that the Council should take action im-
mediately. Everybody else thought so.
and they were a little dismayed when
they found that it will be impossible
to do so.

When the matter first came up
Councilman Ferris made a motion that
the communication of Mr. McGowan
asking for an increase in salary. which
had been laid on the table at the last
meeting be taken up. This was car-
ried, and then the petition which had
also been laid on the table. signed by
many citizens requesting the Council
to put Mr. McGowan back as chief.
was also taken up. 'After these had
been discussed freely. Councilman
Sharer moved that the resignation of
Mr. McGowan be reconsidered. Coun
cilman Ferris then made amotlou that
the communication from Mr. McGow-
an be acted upon. The letter was read
by the clerk. Councilman Waterbury
moved to not accept the conditions of
Mr. McGowan. and Councilman Ferris
accepted the mbtion.

“i don’t think that is a fair motion
at all." said Councilman Sherer. “Mr.
McGowan speaks in his letter about
$300 a year increase, but i know he
would modify that sum and govern
himself according to the discretion of
the fire committee. l hare had a talk
with him and he says that he would
not be arbitrary in the matter at all.”

The question then came up as to the
position of Mr. Baker. it was brought
out that he could not leave his position

in the electric light station to go to a
fire. if. his services were required
there. This made another serious
question to solve and it is not solved
yet. The electric light commissioners
have agreed to alloer. Baker to be
chief o the lire department. provided
that it does not interfere in any way
with his work in the electric light sta~
tioln This is rather broad, and a
great 113th times it would be a ques-
tlon as to what would. interfere with
his‘worlt. . .

The Question arose. if there was an
accidentior any serious trouble in the.
electric light station. while Mr. Baker
was it‘d fire. when all a matter of fact
he should be in the station. if the city
would nether liable for such accident
or trouble, lit was" thought thatit
would. and hiswss another this: that
made the councilman go slow.

basin would could between 850 and :75,
built of brick and connected with the
sewer. There is a large basin across
the street. The basin would cost more
than ordinarily because the newer is
shallow. and the pipes would have to
be coucreted. Mr. Grumman suggested
