Today our organization' is looked upon with respect and admi- ration by the people of Connecticut, and to you men in the ranks much credit is due. As long as we firemen work together in harmony, just so long will our association prosper and flourish. During the past year, two of our brothers, Ernest M. Quigley of Hart- ford and Gedrge Madden of Bridge- port, have gone from us forever, hav- ing given up their lives in the pursuit of our vocation. Brother Quigley died as a result of sickness comtracted while attending a fire at Hartford on May 21. and Brother Madden’s death was due to pneumonia which he con- tracted after exposure while fighting the flames at Bridgeport on August 4. Your executive committee has held two sessions during the year, meeting at New Haven on November 24, 1908, and later at Hartford on March 12, 1909. A complete report of the doings of these sessions will be submitted to Jou by the secretary of the assocla- tion. 1 have appointed the following com- mittee on credentials for this conven- tion: George W. Bogardus, South Norwalk, Edward P. McGowan, Wa- tertown, and Richard M. Brockett, New London. In submitting to you this brief re- port of the business transacted dur- ing my term of office, I am indeed very glad of this occasion to thank you all for the splendid manner in which you have stood by me, and also for the efficient and excellent service rendered by my associate officers. I sincerely trust that the future will be a bright one for the association, and can heartily say that I am, and al- ways will be ready for any call you may make. Report of the Secretary.
