CHANGES TO BE IN 'MARCH
Second Step in Reorganization ol
Tiro Bureau as Contemplated by
Commissioner Bigelow Is
j Announced.
Twenty-five more firemen. 39 more
fire horses and three fire stations are
to he cut out of the city's fire service
at a net annual savins' of $42,840. A
programme for motorizing and reor
ganizing the fire service with these re
sults was made public yesterday by
City Commissioner Bigelow, who has
charge.
The deductions are in addition to the
recent cutting out of three other fire
stations, a large number of horses and
68 men. Of the 58 men eliminated
under the first step in the reorganiza
tion plan, 40 were retained because of
the need for additional men to enable
the granting of firemen one day off
- Jn four in place of the old plan of one
day off in six.
The stations to be discontinued are
Engine Company No. 33 at Mississippi
avenue and Shaver street; Engine
Company No. 26. at 329 Twentieth
street North, and the station in Monta
villa. Mr. Bigelow proposes to pur
chase six 1000-gallon automobile pump
ing engines to be established in sta
tions so as to increase fire fighting ef
, ficiency throughout the city.
Machines Will Cost $59,000.
The six machines will cost about
$59,000, according to Mr. Bigelow's es
timate. One will be placed at St.
Johns, where it is badly needed as a
protection for mills, shipyards, dry
docks and other property. The nearest
apparatus, outside hose wagons, now
is at Union avenue and Alberta. A
steamer is located there, but cannot
reach St. Johns in much less than 30
minutes.
This change at St. Johns will release
. motor hose wagon there, which Mr.
Bigelow plans to place at Kenilworth,
adding to the protection in the south
eastern part of the city. These changes
will add one man at St. Johns and cut
out two horses at Kenilworth.
The second pumping engine will be
fit Engine Company No. 8, at 303 Rus
sell street, eliminating the need of five
horses and one man. This station, with
the motor engine, will take care of the
district now covered by the horse
drawn apparatus at the Mississippi and
Shaver street station. This station,
with seven men and two horses, will
be discontinued.
The third motor engine will be placed
at Kast Seventh and Stephens streets
and will add one man. This apparatus,
Mr. Bigelow says, will cover the south
east part of the city more efficiently
than it has ever been served before
by co-operating with the auto hose
wagon at Sellwood and the auto hose
wagon to be transferred from St. Johns
to Kenilworth. The auto hose wagon
now in use at the East Seventh-street
station will be transferred to another
station. Engine 14, Union avenue and
Alberta street, saving one man and five
horses.
Increased Protection Promised.
The fourth pumper will be placed
with engine N. now at Twenty-first
and Nieholai. Mr. Bigelow proposes to
move this station two blocks, to prop
erty owned by the city, and discontinue
the station at L'29 Twentieth street,
shifting the auto hose wagon to en
gine 12 at East Twenty-eighth and
Edwards, with a saving of nine men
and nine horses.
The fifth pumper will to Fourth and
Montgomery streets, releasing three
liorses now attached to horse-drawn
apparatus. An auto hose wagon at
this station will be transferred to en
trine 5, releasing five horses and one
man there. Mr. Bigelow says this ar
rangement also will greatly increase
protection ' in the district formerly
served by engine 16 at Sixteenth and
Montgomery streets, which was 'recent
ly discontinued.
The sixth pumper will go to Mount
Tabor, where it will serve Mount Tabor
and Montavilla, cutting out the Monta
villa station with seven men and three
horses. The pumper at Mount Tabor
will release one man and five horses
there.
Mr. Bigelow says Montavilla now has
no pumper or steamer, the nearest one
being a horse-driven steamer at Mount
Tabor. The motor pumper at Mount
Tabor will be able to cover Montavilla
much more effectively than the present
horse-drown hose wagon now in Mon
tavilla. The present horse-drawn en
pine at Mount Tabor cannot pass over
the hill to Montavilla at faster than
a walk, Mr. Bigelow says, whereas the
motor machine will be able to make
the run very quickly.
Changes "Will Occur About March 1.
The changes are to be made as soon
as apparatus can be purchased, which
probably will not be until March 1 of
next year.
The motorization and the other
changes will leave but 16 horses in the
iFire Bureau, whereas a few years ago
there were several hundred. The 16
liorses are in the outlying sections.
Mr. Bigelow says the same course is
being followed in other cities where
stations are being cut out because of
the ability of the motor-driven ap
paratus to cover the ground so much
more rapidly.
In addition to adding protection to
the individual districts the changes
will enable the assembling at any
point in the city wthin a very short
time of all the new pumping engines.
This will afford much protection in
event of a conflagration.
To add to this part of the city's
protection, Mr. . Bigelow has arranged
a system where the present steam en
gines will be so placed that in case
of their need on a long run they can
be attached to motor trucks and towed
to the scene of the fire.
The pumping engines which Mr.
Bigelow proposes to buy are of a large
type. There are only three steamers
in the service now with the pump
ing capacity of the new type of ma
chine proposed.

In the women's committee of the
Council of National Defense a depart
ment of naturalization has been started
by the Nebraska division. They felt
that such a department would do incal
culable good, arousing in women the
feeling that there should be no alien in
America. They are securing zealous
workers of each nationality represented
In the state to interest women in nat
uralization. "These spread the news
among the men." writes Miss Hrbkova,
the Nebraska chairman, "and Nebraska
already shows some good returns in
applications of men for naturalization,
for it appears that they do not want to
be outdone by the women in making
good their chance at American citizen
ship."
In several other states the women's
committee Is either initiating a plan of
Americanization or is allying itself
with work already started. Thus, in
Maryland the division is interesting it
self in the data gathered by the general
census board. They determine the
number of foreigners who attend the
night school and from the Court of
Common Pleas and the United States
District Court are finding out the num
ber who have taken out tirst and sec
ond papers. They also are using the
special census lately taken in Maryland.
Altogether Maryland's job is to win
about 104,000 foreign born.
In Seattle they are co-operating with
a Federal association, planning a sur
vey of the county.
The slogan of this department should
be: "Every foreigner in the United
States should speak English."
