D., held Mon day, Jan. 28, 1S95: Resolved, That we, the Board of Del egates of the Astoria Fire Department, In regular session assembled, respect fully ask our honorable senator and representatives at Salem, to oppose the hill Introduced by C. J. Curtis, namely: 'Making tho Astoria Fire De partment a paid department and nam ing a committee of three as fire com missioners. Our reasons are as follows; The charter of the city of Astoria l the present time gives the council the power to make the department a paid one when they deem It necessary, and we "believe the council to be composed ol good business men who have the best Interests of the city at heart, and when they conHl'fW It the 'best for the city they will do so. We further believe the bill Introduced by Hon. C. J. Cur tls to be a political Job, put up by some parties who desire to get into office, and turn the department into apolitical machine, which we believe Is detri mental to the best interests of the city. The resolution was forwarded to Sa lem last night to Clatsop's delegation, and Hon, J. M. Smith was especially requested to use his greatest endeavor to kill the bill In the senate.
