Members of the volunteer fire bri gade appeared at the meeting of the board of city commissioners last night and requested that action be taken to provide a chief for the fire department succeeding Charles Murchison, who left the position the first of the monfh. Members of the volunteers have been taking turns at the fire hall the last few days, while the city manngcr has been endeavoring to secure the . ser vices of a new chief. The city manager, John Collier, stated that he had a man in sight, but he was at Camp Lewis an had not yet jbeen able to secure his discharge. He therefore appointed Lot Snotlgrass to net as chief temporarily. The volunteer members also urged unon the commission tfiat tbev nav their fir0 clli(,f a sufficient salary to in5Ure tnat when they got a good man in the position they would be able to keep him. It was hinted that the late chief would have remained had a rea sonable wage advance been offered him. With the cxceMn of froutine busi ness, there was nothinp else of im nortance at the board mcctlnp. A. O.
