Too much can not be said of the excellent work of this \zoluno teer the department. These eleven men are paid the small monthly wage of five dollars with an additional bonus of one dol- lar a fire. It can readily be seen that they are working for the public good. and not for any monetary consideration. Their hearts are in the undertaking which has been entrusted to their care. and they have discharged their responsibilities with credit. During August and September the fires, owing to the forest and. Skokie fires, numbered about twenty each month. That means these men were called from their business and from their-homes in the middle of the night. It means that they handled hundreds. wf feet of fire hose, endangering their garments: from fire. water and chemicals. It means that they took valuable time from their business in the middle of the day. Aside from their duties .st tires they have practice drills every Thursday night. They mm in the alarm. choose an objective, connect up the fire hose. run up the ladders on public buildings like the high school, for- distance. and proceed with all the despatch which they would ob- 4erve in case of actual fire. In this way they are able to disâ€" m‘er the working condition of every hydrant so that, when fire .loes occur. their efiiciency will not be retarded by leaks or other faulty conditions. Anus”... fig? T71..?XIX!(??X:XAxuxanquxt? Commissioner Huber exercises jurisdiction over the fire deâ€" A>artment of the city, but the organization is under the direct management of Fire Chief Hoskins, the local manager of the North Shore Gas company, and it is his organization ability which the peOple of Highland Park have to thank fo'r their present fire protection. But the actual work, we must not forget, is perform- ed by the eleven men of the department. Their devoted service lll rigorous weather. at all times of day or night, is a. thing that an hardly be spoken of in measured terms of praise. But all this is changed. and Highland Park‘s present system ot tire protection is second to none. There are eleven men in the department to-day who have volunteered to attend every tire, day or night. These men live, for the most part, near the tire sta- tion. A large gong connects their residence with the station. and they are subject to calls both day and night. In case they are at their place of business in the day-time. there is always some one at home to give them the call by telephone. Aside from the eleven volunteer men, there is a night driver and a day driver of the tire truck. these men being in charge of the station by day and night respectively. The addition of the new Ford-Howe truck will facilitate the efficiency of the tire de- partment to a marked degree. The city now has two truckS. both of which can be rushed to a fire at different periods of time. Be- tore the purchase of the second truck the firemen who were first. :0 report at the station were compelled to wait for the members. at the department who lived farther away, but now they can go to the fire in two installments. The new truck is also equipped with a pump which enables the firemen to raise the water pres- sure from forty or fifty pounds to one hundred or one hundred :md_twenty-five pounds. It would be interesting to know just how many people of Highland Park are fully informed on the very important question of fire protection. The past history of this tOWn shows no very cheerful record in this respect, and with the result that the aver- age person today is not very optomistic on the matter of fire protection.

(2) Suburban and local transportation schedules shall be reduced immediately to the least number of runs that will accommodate necessary travel re- quirements. As every ten degrees by which the temperature is lowered during zero weather on surface andvelevated cars will save between 350 and 400 tons of ’coal per day, the temperature of cars and ‘ stations at all times should be reduced to the lowest possible point consistent with public health and safe- ty.

(4) Retail establishments of all kinds in the down- town districts shall receive service not to exceed six and one-half hours a day. namely from 11:00 A. M. to 5:30 P.

Inas- much as motion picture houses consume very little light. they are excepted from regulation as to hours but required to effect all possible economies in the use of light and heat. Use of service by theatres. vaudeville houses, and motion picture houses outside of hours of operation shall be only sufficiently heated to safeguard against freezing. Drug Stores, meat markets and grocers. bread bak- ers. hotels and restaurants are not restricted as to hours of operation, but are required to exercise all possible economy of heat. power and light.
