FIRE BRIGADE INQUIRY.
TROUBLE PROMPTLY QUASHED. [by TELEGRAPH. association.] CHP.ISTCBT7RCH, Monday. The Fire Board completed its inquiry into the charges made by the men against Superintendent Warner, of the fire brigade, on Saturday, and decided that the charges had not been substantiated. Seven men were dismissed this morning, and the remainder were warned that if they were dissatisfied the Board was prepared to accept their resignations., Two others left to-day. The charges were held to be trivial, and the evidence in support was given by men of little experience. One man who was dismissed had three years' service in Christchurch. * The rest were, newcomers to the brigade. The vacancies were filled by the Board at- once, and no further trouble is anticipated.
