CHIEF MULLIN OPPOSES
CORRUGATED IRON HOUSES

will enter a vigorous protest against the
city allowing any more buildings to be
built of corrugated iron. He will base
his protest on the troubles experienced
at the fire yesterday morning, when, he
says, the loss was almost entirely due
to the fact that the building of the
Birmingham Stove and Hardware COM
pany was made of this material.
In speaking of the matter last night
Chief Mullin said:
1.-THE corrugated iron gets red hot, sets
fire to the entire inside of building at
once, and is a great drawback to the fire.

men in fighting fire. 1t is impossible when
it gets hot, to put off sheet from the
side of a house, as the hook will tear a
small hole and do nothing more. When
the roof is made of this material it falls
in and acts like blanket to the fire I'M
derneath protecting it from the water.
THE firemen have to go in and pull the
sheets of iron off the top. one piece at a
time before the stream of water will do
effective work underneath. That fire this
morning was one of the meanest ! ever
had to fight, as there was no way to get
at it. Had it been a brick building
think L could have saved it without any
loss.'

reaching, than the Delano bill. which
requires all railroads in Iowa to is
sue passes to live stock shippers to

The Bruce bill requires the railroads
to exercise exceptional care in the
shipment of all kinds of freight, but
relieves them from extraordinary pre-
cautions when they issue passes to the
consignees.
Like the Delano bill, it requires
shipments Of freight to be carried at
the rate of twenty miles an hour, prop
er equipment of cars and good sta
tion facilities along the line of the
shipment. The railroad lobby has an
nounced its intentions of fighting the

the same proportion.
During the discussion it transpired
that Columbia county was the first
