 According to the report of the Clerk of the Fire Department. Bisbee has been very fortunate in the past in re. spect to fires. But approximately S2,o00 damage has been done to prop. erty in this city on this account. Of this amount but little was covered by insurance, being due to the fact that insurance rates in Bisbee are higher than other cities. Better fire protec. ton will probably be provided for in a few months when. it is expected, the insurance rates will be lowered and more people will take out insur. ance.
