Mr. Filr: I regret vary much to see this resignation, but would like to approve his
aueaeetion of a man from the department for his successor, otherwise the men in any of
the eepartments haver nothing to work ahead for. The ohisf knows more•about the matter
then we do as to who is best fitted for the place.
Chief Chase: I can hardly eay more than I have said in the letter. I consider Mr Coleman
the losical man to put in the position and am sure if he receives that confidence of oouno
he will make you an energetio and trustworthyofficial. I stand•readyeto help in any manna
I can and if he is appointed chief it will be my pleasure to assist hem in any manner
poeeible, if he or the council desires it.

7r. Wharton: I believe that is the proper action to tate. 'The Ch..eis anxious to get
ewey, he has somet dng better offered him, and justnow the fire committeeman is away and
I believe it well to postpone definite action on his successor until mr, Hefty returns:
1:),e sonally I am in favor of Coleman but thinkeve had better wait until the fire commis00
is nere. Coleman is the logioal man,- he is assistant chief now.
Chief Chase: The position I ex7act to take is due to changed conditions in the last day
or two and I am obliged to go at onoe, but if you don't accept my resignation to tight I -
we willine to ,tey and secrifioe my job - in fact I will do so if you oan not accept my
resiznatiOn, but if 5/-.:u can put Coleman in as acting ohief I would appreciate that. Not
that I Aart to run off and leave but I would like to leocetft the now position. I think I am
bettering myself, receiving a bigger salary and it loots like a better future, .
rr Bredy: I don't think we had better stand in hie way and have alwaye bandied my bueites
in the san..e manner,- when one of my boys hae 4 better offer or decides to $o no hasinees
for himself I have always gladly helped him along to better.Prospacts.
