Show I L I. Sees Benefits in Firemen's Dismissal Editor The Telegram I have been Interested In the present controversy which is being waged in connection with the dismissal dismissal dismissal dis dis- dis- dis missal of ot the members of ot the Salt Lake county fire tire department and I think it would not be amiss at this time to state a few of ot the facts of ot the case cage These very cry men played the the po political political po- po game last a t fall tall and were very active at that time Now they come forth with the cry that they are being sa sacrificed to allow tho the Democrats Democrate Demo Demo- crate to take their places It has been said that each and every everyone one I of ot these firemen were members of ot the Secret Order of ot Sevens and their actions during the past five months certainly justify their dis dis- dis- dis missal The chief and his men have stubbornly stubbornly stubbornly stub stub- and defiantly refused to consider tal taking any of ot the men working in the county shops into their organization org They would not allow anyone to go to a fire tire with them not even the assistant superintendent superintendent super super- of ot shops As a matter of fact tact they refused to teach any of the men in the county shops the lire fire fighting business I The thief chief himself has made the remark that if it any anyone one of his men was let out the whole organization would quit in a body Then there I ia another thing which shows what a fine patriotic fire department bait alt Lake county has One day during the past week weel they sent a petition to Commissioner Howe asking him to his order of dismissal signed with the tle names of twenty-nine twenty members of their o organization with the threat that if he did not retract Ct the dismissing order older they would refuse to fight any fires in Salt Lal Lake e county That alone showed their true colors in my opinion Fait Lake e county will be a lot better off ote without them Th The per per personnel sound of or the new organization of ot the fire department is composed of ot ottine fine tine j young oung men They are excellent mechanics who will be able to do doall doall doall all of the repair work on the fire Ire firefighting firefighting fighting equipment without calling on regular shop workers to help them That is something that the theold theold theold old department could not do This Is true economy which was never known in the county shops until Jam January ary 7 1 of this year jear ear when Commissioner Com missioner Howe took office S HAR lONY |
