City Electrician

The appointment OF city electric
ian, again and again recommends
i by the Cairo underwriters, contem
plates such an arrangement as exist;
generally the employment of a com
petent electrician to examine and ap
prove all electric wiring now in exist
ence or as ii is placed in buildings In
the course OF construction. In Other
cities fees for such inspection, 1T
least in the case of new work, are
paid by the direct beneflciaries, the
property owners. These fees are paid
to the city. not to the electrian
who, necessarily, is employed on sal
airy and not subject to influence BY
individuals, and | have been inform
ed. are usually more than sufficient
to cover the expense OF the office
While the fees are in individual eases
small and work no hardship on the
owner of the new building, they Az
gregate a considerable sum and are
paid very willingly by the owners OF
buildings who thus have an official
and positive source of information as
to the condition and safety of the wir-
ing and electrical apparatus of PROP
erty in which they are interested.
Chemical Engine
The purchase of a chemical engine
is an important one In the hands Of
the experienced fire fighter to whom
reference has been made, treme1.
deus saving can be effected by the
use of such apparatus. 1t is general
~ known, | think, that I'm what are
termed partial losses, where only a
part of the building or other property
is destroyed the loss by water usual
ly exceeds many times the damage
by actual fire and smoke A chemical
engine is powerful factor in Incl
lent blazes, in holding the loss down
to the minimum.
Only Standard Equipments,
The recommendation as to purehas-
ing hook and ladder trucks and addi-
tional hose were, of course, made as
o fthe date October 81. 1904 II would
be necessary for the state authorities
to re-inspect TO determine the condi-
