Keller Objects to Fire Ordinance Delay
Common Councilman Luther Keller of the Seventeenth ward disputes Beleet Councilman Chittenden’s claim that the council is stalling a fire department reorganization ordinance. He says the measure has passed one reading and can be finally passed soon, but resignations and other interferences delayed final action. Keller favors a paid fire department and argues the volunteer system is flawed, praising volunteers’ past efforts yet urging disbandment for order and discipline. He supports funding for permanent men and seeks an investigation into the Thursday fire spread to apportion blame for Jim Hames.
