Mr. Prior is chief of the local company | and Mr. Downham is also an official. | It is the usual practice in civic jor legal matters for men interested in or connected with cither party to a dispute to refrain from sitting in judgment upen such questions.

Today the facling was apparent in scveral quarters here that the same practice should be observed in the ! settling of the dispute within the fire depaitment. Selectman Down- {ham himself stated this morning that he was not certain whether or not he had any right to pass on the mat- ter and that he would be willing to retire if any question were raised.
