INCREASE IN FIRE DEPARTMENT
Favorable Report Will be Made at the
Next Council Meeting

All the next regular meeting of the mayor
and board of aldermen a report will be
made by the fire committee, recommending
an increase in the Birmingham fire depart
ment. This report was not submitted at
the last meeting as all members of the
board were not present.
1t is strongly urged that the fire depart
ment should be increased as it would con-
siderably lessen insurance rates in the city.
Not many weeks ago a prominent merchant
of the city gave out an article on this SUBJ
ject ard he showed that the decrease in
insurance rates would more than pay the
amount necessary to put the fire depart
ment On a irst-class basis. AS 1t is Bir-
mingham has one of the fastest depart
ments in the country, but on account of the
small force allowed them they cannot be
ranked higher than third class. One of the
prominent firemen said last night that the
birmingham department covered more ter
ritory to the size of its force than any
other city in the United States.
