At the request of MIR. John b. Larner,
chairman of the committee on reviewing
stands the District Commissioners have
directed that four firemen, equipped with
fire cxtinguishers, be detailed for duty on
the stand at 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue during the time it is occupied next
week on the occasion of the ceremonies at
tending the reception to Admiral Dewey.
The stand is built of wood and will be
decorated with bunting, and as 1t Will be
wired for electric lighting, there is a
chance of course, of its lighting next Mon

bic that every possible precaution should
be taken to prevent any accident which
might be caused by fire on the stand.
