The Raleigh Fire Department Deserves
the Praise

The Greenville Reflector gives deserved
praise to the Raleigh Fire Department
in its Monday issue. 1t says:
'The city of Raleigh has a remarkable
fire record for the fiscal year ending with
the last day of February. A recent re-
port of the chief of the City Fire Depart
ment shows that there were thrty-six
fire alarms in the city during the year.
The total loss arising from all these
amounted to o. on which insur-
ance was paid amounting to $1.197.03,
leaving a net loss of only SAT to property
owners in a whole year. Such record
speaks well of the efficiency of Raleigh
fire department"
