A special meeting of the Firemen’s Relief association learned the tax bill was killed. The measure would have allocated four percent of insurance company revenues to the state relief fund, replacing the old one half of five percent. Senator Vaughan prepared an amendment to restore the allocation, and the association urged district representatives to back it. The local executive sent a telegram urging Vaughan to proceed. Chief Hickey, a state official, will miss today’s Philadelphia committee meeting, though the local group informed the committee of last night’s action.
