Boston Post Host to Firemen
American Legion Post No. 94, composed of firemen of Metropolitan Boston, were hosts to more firemen during the convention than any other organization in Boston. They opened a “Dug Out” on Rowes Wharf, but the crowd was so great that an appeal had to be made to the Building Department to make room for the new comers. Many thanks went to Frank Marr, the Post Commander, and his committee for a splendid show and get-together, and to Commissioner W. A. Reilly. Chief Samuel Pope of the Boston Fire Department, and to Chief Bowers and President Mine of the Boston Protectives for their work in housing so many homeless firemen.
The largest single organization of firemen was the New York Department. Post 930, with more than five hundred members in charge of Deputy Chief Harold Burke.
