NOT WORDS OF PRAISE.
What an Insurance Paper Has to Say
About Our Fire Department.
Suggestions Made.

The fire insurance underwriters Of
the city are very much concerned re-
garding the condition of the Scranton
fire department. and it will not be
surprising if some concerted action
is taken in the near future. At pres
cnt the basis rate Of fire insurance is
thirty-two cents on the dollar, which
is determined according to the eni-
cheney of the hre department, but in
asmuch as the present system is con-
sidered to be very deficient, the rates
may be increased.
In the current issue of The Review,
dated July 20. which is an insurance
financial weekly, published by the
Journal of Commerce, New York, ap-
pears the following:
"An expert who has been in Scran-
ton. Pa, for some weeks reports that
what the Scranton fire department
needs is, first, two new first class
steamers. 1t will it says, be the poor
est economy to only have such steam
ers as the Franklin and General
Phinney' repaired. The old steamers
might be repaired and held in reserve;
but the need of new steamers is i'm
perative.
Second, not less than 5000 feet of
high grade 2la inch hose.
Third, at least 500 feet of hose for
chemical engines and combination
carts.
Fourth, drying towers and hose
cleaning apparatus. This would prove
economical in the long run. Hose
should be thoroughly cleaned and hung
up after use. Hose in drying towers
to be in reserve.
Fifth, promptness in reporting to
the chief the need of repairs to ap-
paratus from each company.
sixth, (and the greatest need, n
full paid fire department, with at least
100 men, the chief to be in absolute
control.
with the fun paid fire department
secured, the chief should institute n
weekly system of inspection of the i'm
pOrtant mercantile blocks, and this
inspection to be continued until every
man on the force is thoroughly famil-
lar with all openings in fire walls, all
means of access to each building and
the general conditions as to construc-
tiOn of each building. A knowledge
of the location of weak walls will
greatly lessen the danger to the men of
the department, and a knowledge of
the contents of the different buildings
will give the chief and his assistants
some idea of the possible seriousness
of fire in any building"
When the above is brought to the
attention of the officials of the various
companies doing business i'm this city,
there is a likelihood a demand for
explanations from them, and in the
event of such a thing, the Under
writer's Association will undoubtedly
meet and take some action.
