Fourth of July and Fires.

The fact that the Fourth of July has here
tofore been 50 fruitful of fires. causing large
losses to the Insurance Companies, has in
duced the Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwater to issue
the following circular which explains itself
New EoRk, JUNE I, 1873
In view of the approaching National Holt
day of the Fourth Of July, and the very gen.
eral celebration OF the day by Displays of
fireworks, the Executive Committee take this
occasion to call the attention Of exercising
at that season more than ordinary vigilance
In guarding Fire Insurance interests.
1t is not supposed that fires can be alto
gether prevented on that occasion, but such
precautionary measures can be adopted in
every locality as TO warrant the hope that
such shall not lead to destructive conl1lsra-
tions.
Every one interested in Fire Insurance at
any and every point in the country, would
do well to consider himself, 10 a special man.
ner, the guardian of its interests. He can
urge upon the proper authorities create r
caution and watchtulness, and upon the
Fire Department, where such exists, a more
through discipline, and an immediate readi-
ness to spring to the note OF alarm. y La
towns and villages where engines may be
seldom used, examination OF the condition of
both apparatus and hose should, without de-
lay, be made, and the same b. put in good
condition for prompt use. Let the vigilance
now called for, extenl also to bo.h the St0r-
age and the Sale Of all FirelCorkS, and in this
the attention of agents is espec-
tally called to the rule OF the Executive Con-
mlttee enclosed herewith, calling for a
charge of at least 50 cts. pr mon h, tor the
privilege of selling fireworks.
