Firemen have been plagued more than ever recently by drivers who follow the fire truck to a fire and park in such a manner as to seriously hamper their efforts to get the fire under control before it reaches dangerous proportions. The city laws prohibit all traffic within a block of a fire, but these thoughtless fire enthusiasts rush straight up to the scene of action, leave their cars out in the middle of the street or anywhere handy and rush over to the fire as if they were members of the fire department.

Then they proceed to stand squarely In the way of the firemen, not only hampering their efforts but endangering their persons as well. This must stop, Chief Montgomery says, and henceforth persons violating the fire laws will be arrested the same as any other transgressor. day. Mrs. Henry Bartehnei Dies Unexpectedly Mrs.
