ANDRIA, June 1ing out of Chief E. J mott. effective July 1, was brought up in city council at Its meeting yes- 1erday afternoon by Councilman E. F. Ticer, who presented a resolution set- | ting forth that the chief engineer of the fire department is a recognized and experienced firefighter, and also | an automobile mechanic, and it asked | that he be afforded an opportunity answer any charges made against him. Tt provides that the city manager be directed to withhold ap pointing any other person in the ca- pacity of assistant chief, deputy chief or otherw until investigation is | completed. | Mr. Ticer sald the letting out of the | fire ‘chief has stirred considerable feeling. and that he.was afraid the action may finally mean a paid fire department, costing $50,000 a year. Rich declared he did | ry to adopt the resolution, as the office of fire chief ished when the an- nual budget was prepared He read the letter written to Fire Chief McDermott, dated June 16, notifying him that he would not be needed after July 1. Mr. Rich also stated that the duties would devolve upon the director of public safety for the present. Refers to Politics. Mavor Smoot stated that there are more or less fire department politics in this city. Continuing, he said, in part: “I know that under the new form of government council spent three months in trying to secure the services of a city manager, and the question is whether the city manager is going to manage or not. Mr. Rich has got to make good, and I move the resolution be laid on the table In reply Mr. Ticer declared he was fully aware of the powers granted the city manager, but why wait, he asked. | The citizens, he declared, have had a siege of watchful waiting and now have begun to ask questions concern- ing the new form of government. | Mayor Smoot told Mr. Ticer if coun~ cil entered into this they might as well not have a city manager. Con- cluding, the mayor said, “Until such & time as Manager Rich demonstrates not capable T am going to back Manager Rich explained to council that there are no charges against Fire Chief McDermott, and he said the job of deputy fire chief will be open for candidates. He further add- ed that the office simply had been ebolished | Resolution Withdrawn. Councilman Bryant declared that in the light of Mr. Rich's statement, it seemed that the resolution was en- tirely out of order. Councilman Fan- any one else had any statement to make. Cou cllmlln l;l'lem- thereupon withdrew the resolution. o detecation of automobile dealers and garage owners appeared before counoll, and, through ~A. M. Rem- schell, told the council they wanted section 14 of the traffic ordinance more fully explained, especially that part relating to the storage of Cars on the street. Garage owners do 4ot understand the meaning of “stor- ge.” 8o far as he knew, he sald, one of the automobile dealers are using the streets for storage. He .x- plained that the nearby farmers leave cars in front of dealers’ places. _Suggestiong also were made by Mr. Remschell for' parking cars on streets on which there are garages £0 as to be satisfactory to all. Another matter brought to the at- tention of council by the automobile dealers through Mr. Remschell was the tax of $25 for each standpipe furnishing gasoline to customers, which he said he thought was an unjust tax. None of the dealers, he explained, are making money on gas- oline and are simply selling it for the other business it may bring. Mayor Smoot declared that if the city s going to get its streets look- ing like anything it has got to get rid of some of the standpipes erected. It was stated by the mayor that the gasoline stations do not pay a tax on their sales like the merchants do. ‘Tells of Complaints. Manager Rich said that there had been " considerable complaint about garage owners that make repairs to cars in,the streets of the city.
