AUGUST BELMONT 'FIRE BOARD REVIEWS - WORK OF 1917-18 Service Auxiliaries, Fire Preven- tion and Recommendations The annual report of the board of fire commissioners was completed to- ! day and filed with the city clerk. This | is the first report of the commission since the separation of the fire and police department under individual commissions. The report reviews tha work of the year and contains recom- | mendations. The report follows: “By the provisions of the charter amendments of the general assembly of 1917 the management of the fire department was given to a board of fire commissione: consisting of four members. In accordance with the act this commission, appointed by His Honor, Mayor George A. Quigley, en- tered upon its duties last June. “Since the creation of this commis-~ sion it has had the support of His Honor and your honorable body and at this time we wish to express our appreciation for the sustaining action in its various recommendations. “At times during the year the abili- ty of the fire fighting force of the city has been tested and the men have met the situations in a creditable manner. The fire department is de- serving of commendation for the I work manner in which it met the difficult conditions confronting them. “‘Some changes in the personnel of the department were made during the year. Retirement of some of the vet- eran members of the force took place. Those leaving and going onto the reserve list are Richard Hartnett, William Forsythe, Thomas Clerkin, George Caswell, Frank Humphrey, James Tormay and James Egan. In recognition of their years of service they were granted pensions. “The entrance of the United States into the war has affected the fire de- partment. The city has lost the ser- vices of two members thus far on ac- count of the draft: Edward G. Burke, master mechanic. | Robert Smith, call man. Other members of the permanent | force dare eligible to draft in the na- tional army and ensuing months may see others called to the colo Members of the department have subscribed to the issue of Liberty Loans to the amount of $6,000. These subscriptions were taken through the department officials. Larger amounts are held, by purchase | through other channels. The amount does not include subscriptions of call- men. In addition, firemen have pur- chased $500 worth of Thrift Stamps to date. “To further co-operate federal government tho released the services of members, Hoseman who went to on the camp with the department one of its George Sparmer, Camp Deveng serving | fire force during the period of the construction of the camp.
