suscitated since the war, although it is OF more
importance nov than ever. In other cities when
ever fire occurs it is thoroughly investigated by
Fire Marshall, who has full power to arrest any
parties suspecteu Of arson. With us this duty is
assigned to the Detectives, and though admirably
performed thsy are not regularly employed and
get no remuneration for their services. By estab-
fishing regular system Of surveillance at fire
the Board of Underwriters would find that their
expenses would be greatly diminished, and thepay
of the officers employed would be far less than
tho sums now lost through neglect or theft.
This question has already been considered by
the Board, and they have taken the init tive steps
by purchasing tarpaulins fourteen by sixteen feet,
which will be used at fires to protect the stocks
from water. This duty will probably be assigned
to the detective force, as they have heretofore per-
formed 1t. a protection or safety company
should be furnished with wagon containing the
tarpaulins and canvass bags to carry off the goods
il necessary and they should also have control of
the lines in connection with the police. At pres
ent, notwithstanding the able management OF the
department, thefts are not unusual, and it is ex-
tremely difficult to keep outsiders from the ropes,
but under the proposed arrangement this could be
effected, and the city and insurance companies be
both saved from immense losses. The Board of
Underwriters have the matter under earnest coll
sderaton, and thero is little doubt that they will
gladly aid in the rnlation of such company, for
thoir own interests are at stake, and an efficient
protective forco would soon repay the small amount
necessary to support them.
