To enable 3‘ stream to be supplied

was made. "The efficiency of the truck-

Secretary's Compensation and Duties.
As to the secretary of the Rhone-
pertinent, it does not seem just for
the various fire companlcs‘no be re
quired to, pay even the small sum of
310 perJyear for his services which
are valuable to the city, nor in it be
iisved that the people expect them
to pay it. The firemen get nothing
and expect nothing for their services.
On the contrary, it costs them consid-
erable money individually each year
f ruined clothes and to maintain
r companies. all of which they
cheerfully contribute to the city’s
good. it is therefore recommended
that the secretary be paid from the
Fire Department, appropriation at the
rate of $2.50 per month. That he, like
the chief engineer and assistsntcngl-
nears. be a fireman nominated for the
posilton of secretary by the members
of the Fire Department and elected to
oince by the Council, thus becoming
a. city ofllcer in fact, on being sworn
in. That it be the secretary's duty
in addition to keeping the tire record
and minutes of'the' Department, to act
so clerk to the committee name De-
partment and the acting use her of
the Boardof Engineers and can a
set of books with all Fire Department
funds and disbursements entered in a
systematic business like manner as
was started for the your just ended by
the Department's excellent secretary.
Mr. A_.C._ Kuorr. To facilitate this
arrangement whereby the, Depart-
ment's business can be iakencnre of
so that its details may be known with-
out a tedious search of the city ree-
ords, it is further recommended that
all bills against the Fire Department
be not only approved by the commit
toe on Fire Department. and the chief
engineer. but that they also be mark-
.ed "recorded" and ”initialed by. the
secretary before being ordered paid
by the Council as an evidence that
they have [been spread upon the Fire
Department records . and properly
