NEW BRITAIN HERALD [~r+~] NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930. Conflict of Authority Rises Over Examination of Would-Be Firemen; Fire Board Has One Doctor! and Civil Service Com- mission . Another — Fire | Station Repair Contract% Rescinded and Will Be| Sent to Council- The question as to what will be | done about medical examinations of epplicants for appointment to the fire department was raised at the monthly meeting of the fire board last night when the members learn- ed that the civil service commission as well as fire board, has an exam- ining physician. It was the board's understanding that all prospective applicants for places on the fire department mus be examined by the civil service | board’s physician, Dr. E. J. Dray. At | present, it is the rule that they | must be examined by the fire board | physician, Dr. Frank Zwick. BEx- | amination by both physicians would | be costly to the men, according to Chief William J. Noble who said i would be especially disappointing if. after paying for the double examin- ation, candidates did not pase. Some of the members cxpressed the opinion their physician will be used only for treatment of the fire- men and the examination will be | done by the civil service physidian. | The civil service commission came | into existence last month when the | common council accepted a recom- mendation of Mayor Quigley that he be permitted to appoint a board of five members to examine applicants for appointment and advancement in the fire and police departments. No rules governing the organization of the board were adopted. City officials have expressed the belief that a set of rules including a clause authorizing the appointment of a physician and another repealing ordinznces ineonsistent therewith, would have disposed of the position, now held by Dr. Zwick Another view held is that Dr. Dray is authorized to examine appli- cants, only, but that injured or in- disposed firemen are to be treated by Dr. Zwick. This contention is not supported by the rules of the fire department, approved by the common council it is pointed out Contract For Repairs Rescinded In an effort to avoid a repetition ©of the situation caused when they voted to give the contract for the repair of No. 1 fire station without asking for bids, the members voted to send a request to the common council asking permission to enter into a contract with I. Wexler for the repair of the station Chairman Emil G. Hjerpe told ociates the board made a mis- when it voted to give the con- tract on a day rate basis. Commis- sioner Fred Coll voiced the opinion that the next step should be one that would prevent the board from getting into further trouble, Chairman Hjerpe said he took it upon his own shoulders to have the work stopped when he learned the beard faced considerable trouble Commissioner Charles . Dehm wanted to make certain the board would stay within its $2,000 appro- priation and when he was assured that Mr. Wexler had agreed to cover every expense for that he 1aoved that the recommendation for the contract be sent to the common conneil. other “rank sum Small Fire Loses Fire loses for June were $1,200 compared with $6.000 in June last according to the report of Noble. Members expressed ction. with the manner in fires are being checked re from the custom of names in connection with motion: e by members was in- eugurated at the suggestion of Com- missioner Collins who expressed the opinion that it would be difficult to | determine many details in a year or two if the motion could not be linked up with a name. On his motion the board voted in favor of this move. On Waiting List There are 30 applications for ad- mission to the substitute fire de-| partment ranks and the board voted to turn these names over to the civil service commission. ‘The substitute list is filled. A ghbstitute will be chosen to succeed the late Edward H. Parker in the regular ranks. Two more applications were re- ccived and placed on file. They were John Adams, 26, of 119 Cleve- land street, and Steven Siedzik, 28 of 19 Nash street Compensation It was voted to approve the granting of compensation to Fire- man Stephen Makowski for illness from March 15 to June 30. He re- ceived injuries to his leg and back at a fire.

S — NAVY SECRETARY 10 PILOT YAGHT Charlie Adams Will Skipped Yankeg in Race Off Newport Newport, R. I, July § (P—Charlie Adams, navy, and George law of J. P.

It is not the first time they faced each other over a stretch of blue wate: Ten ye ago in a what similar contest Adams sailed the Resolute and Nichols the Vanitie. Resolute won and A went out and turned back Sir g Shamrock fourth. In the two days' racing that has been sailed in the official trials Weetamore has two victories to her credit against the Boston boat's one. If Adams is to meet the fifth Sham- rock next September he must show the selection committee that he is sailing a better boat than Weetamoe nd that he is a better skipper than seorge Nichols. Yeserday's victory of” Whirlwind, sailed by Paul Hammond, over the Yankee, was not drawing a great amount of water with the observers as the four defense candidates went to the starting line tod Whirl- wind shunned the ocean course which is supposed to be her element and found a lucky streak of wind along shore.
