law provided for such matsers-after
fashion. An ordinance is now pend
ing before the city council prohibiting
the erection of buildings over 100 feet
in height. This measure is being OPP
posed by the real estate men, while
the Builders Union is in favor of it.
He could not say whether the bill
would become a law or not. Tall build
ings were a problem, however. There
is great difficulty in getting into them
when the fire is in the top story, es-
peciaily if it has spread to any great
extent. The aerial ladders do not an
swer the purpose and the pompeir sys-
tenn has to be resorted to i'm many
cases. When flames are rushing out Of
all the windows, this is a hard task.
Chief StetSOn of Minneapolis believed
the owners of buildings of this char
acter should provide themselves with
the protection against fires which the
merits of the case demanded. He call
ed attention to a, fire which he had in
the twelfth story of a building. Wls<ch
began in the elevator shaft and work.
ed both ways The flames were rush
ing out of every story when he got
there. He sem one company into an
other building across a twelve foot al
ley and another inside. The company
on the adjacent structure had the fire
under control ere those sent inside
could get good action. He advocated
standpipes inside the building to be
used only by the fire department when
a fire was taking place. He advocated
this for every building of the charac-
ter alluded TO.
Chief Hale of Kansas City joined in
this view and advocated the standpipe
inside and outside. Then, too, the aut-
omaric sprinkler was a, good thing.
Several fires had been held in check
by the use OF this device in his city
and much property saved thereby The
automatic sprinkler kept the fire from
spreading, pending the arrival of the
department.

PRIVATE FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
Topic Nc. l was the first one taken
LIZ: How are private fire depart
zFents to be properly organized drilled
and made a useful adjunct to city fire
departments?' This was handled BIZ
Herbert Heston, fire marshal Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company at
Philadelphia.
MIR. Heston's paper set out that pri-
marty the head of a private fire de-
partment must be a. man qualified TO
ora inize a department and hold the
same together. The organization
should be composed of young, active
and intelligent men. The head of the
department ought to work in conjunc-
ton with the regular department and
acquire a thorough knowledge of all
the latest improvements. He should
thoroughly understand all apparatus,
so that he can teach those under his
command. Drills should be held at least
once each week, and not at stated
times. InaSmuch as fire alarms come
in at all hours, the men Should be call
ed to drill at any time On,a point in
portance is the educating of the men
sSaat they are employed to check fires
81 their incipiency, and not to eXtin-
guish great CONGREGATIONS. True they
will of necessity be compelled to work
in conjunction with the regular de-
partments. IN all cases where it is
apparent that the fire cannot be check
ed easily, the regular department
should be called into service.
The paper was the subject of a brief
discussion. Chief Heinmiller of Column
bus, o., being the first speaker. He
believed there was little to add to what
had been said in connection with the
subject but wished to state that the
idea of imprornptu alarms for drill was
a good one. In his experience he had
learned that the members of private
fire departments were not drilled thor
oughly, and in order 10 attain the pro-
dciency desirable it was necessary that
the men oe given frequent instruction
sn the most practicable manner.
Chief Burris Of Columbus, Ga, spoke
of the work of the volunteer companies
at home, and cited instances where the
volunteers fed at the time they were
most needed. Drills We're needed and
the men should be instructed thor
oughly in all their duties. A well or
ganized and disciplined fire depart |
IEent could do much toward aiding the |
sIaid firemen.
Chief Dickinson Of Cleveland, O.,
volunteered the suggestion that all in |
sdpient fires handled by the private de- |
rartments ought to be reported to the |
chief Of the paid department This
was accepted by Mr.. Heston, who de- /
clared that he would adopt the prac- /
tice upon his return to the City of |
Brotherly Love.

A NEW TRUST IN GEORGIA.

We learn from the Atlanta papers that
the grocers of that city will soon or
game a Retail Grocers Protective Assoc
citation, whose object will be TO take such
steps as may be necessary TO protect the
merchants from customers who will not
pay their debts. We are told that the
grocers believe that ''in union there is
strength and that large number Of
them have signihed their intention Of
joining the association.

Merchant Boyles. ut would be Of in
