property. Then rigid inspection laws
should be adopted and most carefully
enforced. Firemen should not be al
lowed to get the blame for things they
have no voice in regulating, and when
fireman knows that burning build

Inc paper recommended that the oil be
stored in building at a distance from
any other buildings, and it was recon-
mended that legislation he secured to
that end. The oil was just as dangerous
as gunpowder, and there was no good
reason why people should not take the
same care in handling it as was used in
handling gunpOwder. An adjournment
was taken until 7:30 p. IN.
In view of the fact that the delegates
were very tired from their journey no
evening session was held and adjourn
ment was taken to this morning, when
the reading of papers will be resumed.
In the afternoon it is likely that some
OF the apparatus now on exhibition will
be tested in the vicinity of the West
hotel.
