WILL REORGANIZE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
AND NAME CHIEF
The Volunteer Fire Department of
Seward will be reorganized and there
will be a fire chief whose duties will he
limited to the one department. *
This is believed to be the concensus j
of opinion of those who attended a spe
cial meeting last night at the fire hall.
The fire boys will meet tomorrow
afternoon, members of the old Depart
ment and those who care to join the
new, at 3 o'clock in the fire hall. The
question of recommending a lire chief
and disposing of re-organization mat
ters will be discussed. The recommen
dation for lire chief will then be pre
sented to the city council, presumably
at a special meeting to be held Mon
day night.
At last night's meeting Councilmen
Sauers and Crawford, special commit
tee, met the fire boys: Councilman
Sauers asked for immediate action as
fire protection is a paramount feature
of every city. Councilman Sauers is
also a strong believer, as othe.s of the
council are, that the fire chief should
be separate from any other officer, and
this was the view taken by the fire
boys.
SNOWING AT MILE 52
If it keeps on there will be nothing
but snow at Mile 62. The weather re
port from here this morning showed
the temperature at 15 above, snowing
