Then President Riegelmann reas- sured the “greasers”. that “two platoons” was here to stay and never would be changed unless for some- thing better. What could be better he did not say, for every speaker had declared that two platoons was the best ever, Mr. Riegelmann sald he Wag an ardent fire fan and always battled for the Fire Department appropria- tions. He said he strongly favored the new $8,000 red fire wagon recently voted for Chief Kenlon, because he felt that Chief Kenlot should have the same kind of an automobile as he Is a Chief. THE KELLYS VERY MUCH EVIDENCE, Then came “Billy” Kelly, the Court Clerk of Brooklyhf. He is another fire enthusiast. In fact his family cornered the market for attendance —all infected with the same “bug,” for there was his brother Frank, fireman and another brother “Tom,” a Lieutenant in one of the Brooklyn fire companies. Sticking close to the “great” that was being handed out by e speaker, Toastmaster Perry in duced Chief Kenlon as the gngineer of. engineers. Chief Kenlol, who stil holds his license to engineer on any vessel of unlimited tonnage, and who always has a warm spot for the fire engineers, for he was one of them some years ago, said some very com- plimen things to the engineers and called them his comrades, He said New York wasn't going to burn up, and declared the depart- ment to be the greatest in the world only because of the character of all the men in it, for it has been built up In such a way, he sald, that there are from fifty to 100 trained men ready to take his place any day at the head of the force.
