Accidents Caused by Gasoline.

Accidents Caused by GasOline.
During the past year there were ninety
three fires, or about 10 per cent of the total
number, caused either directly or indi-
rectly by gasoline or like fluids. The use
Of gasoline, particularly as fuel, is increas-
ing yearly, and the traffic in it correspond
ingly increases. 1t is admitted to be one
of the most treacherous and dangerous of
inflammable oils, ii being contended that
Its explosive power is double that of gun
powder. 1t is earnestly recommended that
its storage in large quantities within the
fire limits be not permitted except under
such conditions as will insure, or tend to
insure, the highest possible degree of public
safety. 1t is no less earnestly recommended
that dealers in gasoline and gasoline
stoves and other like appliances be re-
qulred TO FURNISH to every purchaser PRINT
ed instructions as to the care and proper
use of this fluid and such appliances, for
there Is general and surprising ignorance
among those who use them of the danger
Gus nature of the oil. As has been said:
"If q detailed account of the number of
such fires occurring annually in the United
States, with the injuries and deaths caused
thereby, could be obtained, the record
would be appalling. If to this were added
the records of such accidents throughout
the civilized world for just one year, it
would be difficult to believe that in this So
menace to life and property could be per-
mitted to exist with practically no legisla-
tive safeguards to individuals or commu-
nifty
HiEh-Pressure Water Service.
"This department heartily indorses the
proposition Of the water department to es-
tablish in the business section of the city a
high-pressure water service for the fire.
fighting branch Of the municipality. Such
a service would be of immense value, for 1t
would enable this department to practically
do away with steamers in the territory COW
cred by the proposed service and replace
them with combination chemical and hose
wagons, the steamers being then sent to
the residential section, where the need for
additional ones is yearly increasing.
Use of Electricity.
1.-The rapidly growing use Of electricity is
believed to be responsible in no small de-
gree for many fires. During the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1901. twenty-six fires in the
District were known to have been caused by
electric light wires, and OF the 146 fires for
which the fire marshal could discover no
cause many were probably caused by cleo
tricity. Defective work is believed to have
originated great majority Of these fires, Il
not, indeed, all of them, and IT is earnestly
recommended that Congress be urged to
provide an electrical inspector, whose duty
it shall be to inspect all such work, and that
the municipal authorities be empowered to
enforce such regulations as may be deemed
necessary and proper TO insure the public
safety IN such matters"
