Abolishing Job of Assistant Chief May Prove Expensive Economy. Hammond manufacturers and property owners received with misgivings today the news that the city council ' last evening ordered preparation of an 'ordinance abolishing the office of assistant fire chief. ! If the saving of $13.i a month salary of the assistant chief results in even the slightest increase in fire in- ! surance rites it will prove costly economy indeed, one rroperty owner told 4 i reporter, end added that he considered ! it ill advised to tamper with the splenjdid fire department which has cause! 1 Hammond to have few had fires and j very reasonable fire insurance rates. j There should be some on, second in ; command, to take the plaee of the 'chief in the absence of that individual, . th landlord said. ! The passing of the motion which mav ' lead to doing away with the job of j assistant fire chief in order to settle the quarrel over the candidacy of Jas. Ryron for the Job. was net without event last evening. L. C. Smith, one of the most capable members of the council and one j whose word carries a great deal of : weieht with the body, reported that the committee of three couneilmen assigned to determine why Ryron should not be appointed had disagreed and had no report to make. "Tn March I recommended that th board appoint William Nill as chief.'' stated Mayor Frown, "and at the sa:n time recommended James Ryron as ass;iant chief as Captain Peters had, declined. The board asked time to consider Ryron's appointment. My recommendation stands. I have nothing against Ryron's appointment" Councilman Reilley and Heokelrna advocated abolition of the job and Frank Martin made an individual report es a member of the committee of three. He said thst the citv having raided its ftr department to the highet point of efficiency should take no back step and th?.t the economy dodge was offering support to a petty politician w h - had held up Ryron's appointment. Councilman Hopman Jumped to his fpt when the vote was being taken "I'm tired of having it said I'm oposed to Ryron." he declared, "and beir blamed for this. I've asked the mayor time and time again to appoint the assistant chief and (pointing to the mayor). You d say 'Don't be in a hurry, wc'i-p saving that much money." Hopman's statement, putting up to the mayor full responsibility for holding up the appointment of Ryron as assistant chief created a stir in the council chamber although the msvostated tho councilman was wrong an1 that his letter of recommendation still stood.
