Any member who shall neglect or refuse to obey the command of
the Chief, First or Second Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, Captain,
Lieutenant or any acting line officer, or refuse to comply with the
regulation of the Company, shall be liable to expulsion from the Company
by a two-thirds vote of the active members present at the next regular
meeting.
Any active member who has not attended at least three of the
regular meetings during the year, beginning with the annual meeting,
shall be dropped from the rolls; except if he be made a member on
or after the sixth month from the annual meeting, then this section
shall not apply until the following annual meeting. If he be excused
after the first six regular meetings, he must have attended three
of the six or be expelled. A member working a shift that prevents
him from attending meetings shall present this excuse, in writing,
to the Secretary, and at such time as he is again able to attend meetings
shall so notify the Secretary in writing. Written excuses shall be
renewed each year.
