For 38 Years he has
Helped Protect
Fire
Norwalk from
GEORGE BOGARDUS
When Chief George Bogardus of
the Norwalk fire department tells
the City Council of the fire needs
of the city. the City Council should
weigh well every word he says. For
the chief knows whereof he speaks,
having been a member of the Nor—
walk fire department for 38 years.
A mere stripllng in 1885, he be-
came a volunteer fireman. for, as he
explained, “the excitement." But.
soon his love for excitement wore
away leaving only love for his work.
He was made captain of the volun-
teers and later chief of the volun-
teers of the Putnam Hose company.
In 1913. when the greater city of
Norwalk was consolidated. in recog-
nition of his faithful service he was
appointed permanent chief.
The chief has given much study
to his calling and kept abreast of
the time. Yesterday he left for
Richmond. Virginia. with the fire
chiefs of New York. New Jersey.
.Alsmchusetts and Connecticut.‘ to.
attend the convention of the Inter-
national Association of Fire Egin-'
ears. Here fire chiefs from all over
the United States will convene to
discuss the needs of its fire depart-
ment and suggest ways by which
they may offer better fire protection
to the public. No doubt. Norwalk's
fire chief will have some sugges-
tions to offer, for'thanks to this of-
fort and ability. Norwalk's fire de-
partment will soon rank with. the
best in the country. Chief Bogardus
was instrumental in having the City
Council approve the purchase of the
$12,500 Seagrave pumper. which
will be received shortly. It was also
at his suggestion that the 5.000 feet
of fabric 'hose was purchased.
The convention is in session five
days and following that the fire
chiefs will travel south to Florida
.and thence to Cuba. Chief Bogardus
is expected to return home Novem-
ber 6.

they will not have such smooth sails

known to be opposed to them. Elber-

ger of such a strike.

Thirteen hundred workers have been
