Chief James H. Screws, of the fire department of Montgomery, Ala., having resigned his position, has been succeeded by John F. Browder. The late chief was the last head of the volunteer department of Montgomery, and was appointed three years ago by the mayor of that day to organize and instruct the present fire department—a task in which he succeeded admirably. The connection of Mr. Screws with the fire department of the city dates back sixteen years, and he has served with credit in every position up to chief.
At the requestof the Havana authorities, FireCommissioner Scannell, of this city, has obtained leave to go to that city for the purpose of organizing a fire department there upon the lines of the New York fire department.
