4 <br /> 28 <br /> 4 <br /> 4 Report of the Fire Department <br /> 5 1 <br /> E <br />,Y To the Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> c I hereby submit my report for the year ending December <br /> 3 <br />' 31, 1959. <br /> There were sixty-seven calls for assistance during the <br /> j I year. The loss to building or dwelling was very small. The <br /> a z a majority of calls were for flooded oil burners improperly in- <br /> j stalled. I would like to remind the public that only by ob- <br /> taining a permit as required by law they may be sure of get- <br /> ting a safe installation equipped with the necessary safety <br /> > devices for their protection. <br /> I have requested that firemen who have trained and at- <br /> N <br /> rk ;f tended meetings with the welfare of the public in mind, and <br /> given as much as 150 hours of their time training, be paid at <br /> j, the rate of two dollars for the first hour and $1.50 for each <br /> t hour thereafter. <br /> The fire department is definitely not an over paying job. <br /> I <br /> In the past year there was not a man who was paid over <br /> ` fifty dollars for fire fighting, and there were only ten who <br /> ` !I were paid over fifteen dollars during the year. <br /> y`I Our firemen do not stop to change their clothes when <br /> they are called and many good suits have been ruined. These <br /> r �Amen have never complained in any way but feel if a raise <br /> in wages for other labor is granted they should be considered <br /> z <br />` also <br /> All a call fireman receives from his job is the satisfaction <br /> f of serving the public in every way possible. <br /> t <br /> A � f <br /> r( <br />
