NATIONS’ FIRE
CHIEFS, DISCUSS
nudism
750_ of thém at Conven-
tion Stumped by Bo-
gardus— Chief Back
Praising Local Or-
gamzation . ‘ '
Norwalk had a. fire during the past
year. the origin of which stumped
the 750 fire chiefs. who were gath-
ered at the fire chiefs convention in
Richmond. .when they Were asked
by Fire Chief George ,, Bogardus.
what they would give as the cause
of the ignition. ‘
Chief Bogardus, who returned
yesterday. said that during *hc wound
table discussion he told. the chief-
tains. of a. fire in Norwalk. the ori-
gin of which was always more or less
of a. puzzle to him.
"This fire." he said. “occurcd in a
cellar. The house had just been re-
cently re-sbingled and' the man
placed the old shingles in a pile in
the cellar. Following this. he Went
out of town a few days and the
house was locked up. lhortiy after
his departure. neighbors saw smoke
coming out of the cellar and railed
in the fire department. We ound
fire smoldering in that pile if 'shing-
les. There was nothing in the collar
which would cause the shin-nos to
ingnite. so when the report was
made. I gave as the cause of. the
fire spontcaneous combustion.
"Later during an inspection tour.
when I visited another cellar. I
found a. similar pile of shingles and
I ordered the owner to do away wit
them. -
"Not one of the 750 chiefs would
agree with me that the fire was
caused by spontaneous combustion.
yet. what did cause those shingles
to ingnitc they were at a. loss to
say.
"One of the chiefs said that if he
had been the man that I ordered to
do away with the: pile of shingles,
he would have refused to obev. An-
other sald that a pile of shingles in
themselves could not ignite. giving
as his reason that lumber yards
pack them up in tight bundles and
they have never been known to
catch fire. '
“And continued the Chief with a.
chuckle." it took a lire in a. r rwn of
Norwal’k's size to stump fire chiefs.
who direct fire departments in cities
many times the size of Norwalk.”
Chief Bogardus said that after all
is said and done; Norwalk’s fire dc-
purtmcnt compares very favorably
with simlliar institutions in cities of
the same size.
"What Norwalk lacks most." he
said. "are drilled men. It is impossl~
ble to’ obtain the.same results from
volunteers as is evinced when drill-
cd men man your teanis."_
The convention in Richmond last-
ed four days and following Quit the
fire chiefs journeyed to Florida. and
thence to Havana. which is the city
selected for the convention of 1926.
Next year's convention will be held
Buffalo.
The weather all during his trip
was perfect. with the exception of
when they crossed over to Cuba.
Here they encountered a storm on
both trips.
Alt‘lough Chief Bogardus had a
wonderful trip. it was not with re-
luctancy that he returned home. He
was very glad to get back into the
harness and take bis-place as head
‘of the Nor-walk fire department.
“I am very proud of my or-mnina-
tion." he said. "‘but as I have said
we are handicapped by the lack of
a. sufficient number of drilled men.
I asked for the appointment of 12
more men and I was allowed only
five. Despite this. we compare very
favorably with other cities.
"‘And yes. I certainly was glad to
get back to Norwalk.” he conclud-
ed. for after seeing some other parts
of- the country. Norwalk is a. pretty.
good little town."

while crossing the street under the
“Washington street railroad bridge
last evening. walked into a Stam—
ford trolley car.
Britta was knocked to the pave-
ment 1nd was picked up by Patrol-
man Martin Lengyel. He was taken
to Dr. Tracey's office in West ave-
nue. ,
Mr. Brltto complained of pain un-
der h heart after the accident. but
it is t thought that he was seri-
ourly injured. j-Ie was taken to his
hr . after‘receiving treatment from
Dr. Tracey.
What came near being a. serious
accident took place on East avenue
yesterday afternoon when Roy Carl-
son, aged six years, dashed out into
the street near St. John's street and
quest from the Town Teacher's asso-
ciation that all regular; and substi-
tute teachers be given a month's no-
tice when they are to be relieved
from duty was referred to the sup-
erintendent of schools. Mr. Buchan-
an explained that the teachers now
received from two to two and one
half months notice.
Three important resolutions per-
talnlng to the new school building
were adopted unanimously by the
«Board. The resolutions were intro-o
duced by \Villlam P. Ward.
The first resolution requested the
Common Council to take the neces—
sary steps to make available the
$350,000 bond issue for new school
buildings. This is a. rather lengthy
process as the rate of interest must
be agreed upon: the bonds printed
and then disposed of. The entlre
8350.000. however. will not be need-
ed at this time, It was the opinion
of the board that not more than 850,
000 would be needed before March

The Carlson. boy was knocked to
the. pavement and rolled over twice
by the force of the blow that he re-
ceived. People who.were near the
scene at the time. rushed to the aid
of the lad as,they thought that he
was injured seriouly. ’ '
The boy was rushed‘to the office
of Dr. Brown where he received
treatment. but. outside .of a slight
cut on his face and minor bruises
about the face and body. it is not
thought that he was scriously‘in-
lured.
Mathers stated to the police that.
the accident was unavoidable and
that the lad dashed «out into the
street in front of his car before he
could avert the accident.

School Sites.
The second » resolution requested
the Common Council to appoint a
committee to confer and work with
the Board of Education relative to
the purchase of sites for the new
school buildings. This is in accor-
dance wlth the city charter which
states that a Common Council com-
mittee together with the Board of
Education committee must jointly
agree to the proposed school sites.
The third resolution proposed that
local and other ‘arcbltects submit
written suggestions and plans to the
Board of Education for the new
buildings. This to be done without
cost to the board.
“Architects have been camping on
my doorstep for the past few weeks."
declared Mr. Ward in introducing
this resolution. “I think that all or
the architects should have a. change,
to submit written plans as well as
appear before the board personally."
Other members or the board con-
curred. It was arranged that written
plans would have to be in by Nov-
ember 22 and that the board would
make amusements after that date
to allow the architects to appear per.
sonally before the board.
New Members Present»

school buildings took up most of the
evening. Mrs. Sara. E. Lane and
was Mary Rider. the two recently
elected members of the board who
assume office on January 1. were
