The fire was in the cellar and - was confined there, not being permitted . to - even burn through -the floors of the stores Just above. It was what is known to firemen as a ‘stubborn cellar fire, one of “those .flery, smoky kind, that sti- fles and suffocates. The conditions were such that the fire could not have been handled successfully with a small body of firemen, which would be the.case were there a small de- partment of paid firemen, instead ‘of the competent force of volunteer fire- men.. The mayor pald just tribute of the general efficiency of the depdrt- ment in every {nstance when called to duty. The _great majority of the people .of New -London "are fully “satisfied with the present system of fire department. As the firemen are willing to risk their lives to save the lives and prop- erty of others, as volunteers, the ob- Jectors of the present system ought not to object, just for the sake of ob- jecting. Simply that and nothing more.
