To The Board of Works
City of Richmond
Richmond, Indiana - - 1
Gentlemen: -
The Fire Inspection Bureau has grown to the extent of needing additional help; there—
fore, I recommend taking a man from the fire fighting force and placing him in this
department. He will have a Captain's rating. After much deliberation, the Fire Marshal
and I have selected Harold Personette, -whom we think has the proper qualifications to
learn this job and do it well.
IIIThis man has good character and personality and above—average intelligence. At the
present time, this man carries the rank of Captain.
1
To replace the Captain that was moved into the Fire Prevention Bureau, I will have to
promote a man from the ranks. Again with deliberat r;t.onsideration, 1 recommend Edward
Kenney to fill this post.
This iiian=,i..s a veteran of 15 years. He has progressed well as time passed and has
never caused the Department any trouble. I wish to add here, he is the son of a late
Fireman, who died in the line of duty nearly 40 years ago on a fire at Earlham College.
Respectfully,
/s/Ernest Fredricks,Chief
