THE RETIRING FIRE BRIGADE SUPERINTENDENT.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—l see by a late issue of your paper that the Auckland City Council are about , to dispense with the services of Superintendent John Hughes, of the Auckland V Fire Brigade. I, as an old fireman, would ! suggest that before Auckland's old chief :;' retire that all the local and country brigades get up a firemen's demonstration : for his benefit. lam sure that the public and his many friends would make it » big success. It would also show that hi 3 . ■.;, twenty-five years' services in this town as Chief of the Fire Department has been „ appreciated by all. If the local brigades, take this suggestion up I will do all I can l? to help.—l am, etc. JAMES WRIGHT ANDEKSON, Late Captain Grahamstown and Coro- , , mandel Fire Brigades.
