One Mont! «NO. 18,887 DON’T DEGRADE THE FIREMAN. VOLUME 0 SERVICE is a greater credit to this city than its present Fire N Department. Why weaken it? | All that Fire Commissioner Johnson hae to eay against the two platoon system is true and just. By dividing the personnel | ef the department into two shifte alternately on duty at the fire, heases, such a plan would pat the whole fire-fighting machinery in| two sets of hands, making it a difficult matter to fix responefbility for seglect. Changing platoons would work endless confusion. A fire- man in the thick of a big fire cannot drop hie hove line and slide down the ladder when the whistle blows. As the Commissioner says: “The Department is engaged in battle with « foe that never sleeps. Neither battles nor fires oan be fought upon limited hours of service.” Besides increasing the expense of the Department without any corresponding increase of good to the public the whole idea tends to put the fire force in the labor union class, forever involved in the etruggle for fewer hours and higher pay. As the Commissioner re out: “With a fireman such an ambition is totally contrary to e instincts of his profession.” The Commissioner might have added that the hardness of the service will always be one of its best features in so far as it attracts Gesirable, stout-hearted volunteers. We do not want men entering our Fire Department because it looks like a soft snap. The etand- ards of New York firemen are too far above that sort of thing. Men who fight for hours with smoke and flame, who apend their last ounce . of strength and endurance to save the life and property of others, | who perilously grope their way through choking, blistering death to rescue a suffocating baby in an attic as cheerfully as soldiers parad- ing in the sunshine—these are not men who think how many hours they have worked or how soon they are to be relieved. The Malone Two Platoon bill has passed both houses of the Legislature. Let Gov. Sulzer veto it and leave to New York the/| honor of being served by the finest force of fire-fighters in the world.

NEW STAGE LINE is seeking permission from the Board of Estinvate to operate electric coaches on the main avenues of the city. . This company professes to be ready to have one thousand "buses running hefore the end of the summer on three avenues from One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street to the Battery. The "buses are described as noiseless, seating eighteen passengers, adnvtting no strap-hangers, heated by electricity in winter and open in ewmmer.- ‘The same company has also a plan to supply the city with cheap taxicabs run by the same motor system es the "buses. Last Saturday night the Aesembly at Albany passed the Pollock bill putting all ’bus and stage lines under the direction of the Board of Estimate and the Public Service Oommission. Gov. Sulzer urged the passage of the bill and will sign it. ‘The city hes already ap- proved it. ‘The monopoly of the Fifth Avenue Stage Company, backed by the Interborough and the B. R.

Monopoly of public carriage service has had its turn of extortionate retes and cramped service.
