I . RSTIRSMSNT. 1. In accordanca with h i s own request, under chapter 800, acts

of 1913, Chief of Department John A. Mullen i s hereby r e t i r e d to take effect as of 9 P.M., Thursday, 5 March, 1914:

2. John A. Mullen entered the department as a c a l l member 12 June, 1874. He became a permanent man 9 May, 1876. His promotions were as follows: To captain, 8 August, 1881; to d i s t r i c t chief, 20 August, 1885; to 2nd as s i s t a n t chief, 12 November, 1897; to as s i s t a n t chief, 29 March, 19ol, and to chief of department, 23 Bebruary,. 1906.

3. The f i r e commissioner f e e l s that he voices the sentiment of the entire department i n regretting the retirement of Chief Mullen. For eight years as i t s chief he had a record for fighting f i r e s unsurpassed i n the department. During that time no f i r e under h i s charge got beyond; his control enough to send i n a general alarm. His reptitatlon i s not only l o c a l , but coimtry-wide. He has been a f a i t h f u l , enthusiastic, courageous andp^i?nscientious public servant. The c i t y of Boston owes to hili-niore than i t can ever repay for h i s work at the head of t h i s department,

4. He was not only a f i r e fighter but an administrative o f f i c i a l of rare a b i l i t y . Much of the administrative work of the department was placed on h i s shoulders by different commissioners and the work was ably performed. He was a man of s t r i c t I n t e g r i g l t y and s t e r l i n g character. He always stood for the right even when i t worked^hardship on him s e l f . He leaves the department i n a state of high d i s c i p l i n e and e f f i c i e n c y due sol e l y to his e f f o r t s as i t s leader,

I I . PERSONAL STATfiMSNT, 1. On leaving o f f i c e I desire to express my sincere thanks and

appreciation for the cordial and hearty cooperation of the off i c e r s , members and employees of the Boston F i r e Department with me during my administration as f i r e commissioner.
