A clipped (at the top) clipping from the Seattle Times for Octobert 1, 1905 posing and naming the members of the Ballard Fire Department, with Chief H. Roberts third from the right. We have placed below this a letter from Roberts to Ballard’s mayor and council that they fire Assistant Chief L. Roberts (no relation) for violating the rules and regulations, of the department we assume. The letter is dated Nov. 10, 1903, and we can find no posing L. Roberts in the 1905 crew portrait, nor the recommended successor M.G. Mabbuth (spelling?)
