if 'Dr. LeFur-;y is his own physician, in order to submit to a :Medical
exmaination, the purpose of �+rhich is to ascertain if he will be able
to resume his duties as a gaid fireman, ard. if so, when. The Board
desires a report of this examination signed by the two doctors .
And further, the Board suspends its consideration of his request
for the appointment of Louis Testa as a temporary driver, until the
retort of the examination of ,r,. Gibson has been received.
