Montana Firemen Given Day Off by Law
When Governor John E. Erickson, of the state of Montana, affixed his signature to House Bill No. 2118, he wrote finis to something that no other governor of any state in the United States ever did for the fire-fighters.

The legislative committee was instructed lo draft a bill amending the two-platoon law, whereby a day off was given to firemen of the cities of first class.
