Insurance Agents Of the City May
Seek To Secure Auxiliary
for Fire Department
TO STOP BIG WATER LOSSES
Plan Has Been Adopted With Success
in Other Cities and Agents
Will Consider it at Their
Next Meeting

Insurance men in the city are being
urged to take some action to secure the
organization of an insurance patrol as
an auxiliary to the fire department eff
the city, The matter has been brought
prominently before the insurance men
as a result of the fire at the home of
Thomas B. Jeffrey on Durkee avenue
on Sunday afternoon and it is under
stood that the matter will be taken
up at the next meeting Of the organiza-
ton of the insurance agents. Several
cities in the country even smaller than
Kenosha have regularly organized in
surance fire patrol companies which 90
to every fire and take steps to protect
property against damage by smoke and
water At the Jeffrey fire on Sunday
| it is admitted that the loss from water
will be as great or greater than the
loss by fire. This is no fault of the
fire department. If a building is on
fire the department is forced to put
water on it in order to get the fire I'M
der control and it is impossible for the
fremen to prevent this water going in,
to other parts of the building and do
ing damage. Had there been an in
surance patrol in the city they could
have gone into the Jeffrey home on
Sunday and saved considerable of the
loss by the proper arrangement of tar
paulins to prevent the water going
! through to the floors below the one
on which the dremen were fighting the
fire. The local fire department has no
apparatus for this sort Of protection
and they insist that it is the duty of
the fire insurance companies to pro.
vide such protection While the sup
| port Of a permanent insurance patrol
would be an expensive matter to the
insurance men Of the city it is posi-
BILE that the amount saved in fire losses
in year would pay for it's support.
At any rate the agents for the various
companies with the support of their
companies could provide tn fire de-
partment with suitable equipment to
prevent this class of losses. The fire.
men might not have time to handle this
equipment in case Of big fire, but
there are always plenty of men about
fire who are willing to volunteer for
this sort of work and it is thought that
the equipment could be handled with
minimum Of expense.
Tt may be that the insurance com
panies will be slow to adopt the sug-
gestion of providing this equipment,
but it is certain that such a step would
add greatly to the efficiency of the
Kenosha fire fighters
The idea of having an inspector of
all work Of an electrical kind has also
been suggested by the insurance com
panies and it is possible that this win
be taken care of in the proposed build
ing ordinance which will be submitted
to the City Council in the near future.

sented to the jury showed that Schwan

tents of the contract at the time he
signed It and the jury promptly re-
turned verdict in favor of Schwan.
The plaintiffs in the case did not APP
pear in court, but the case. was handled

MANY STAMPS TO BE SOLD
More Than a Million Stamps Must be
Sold in Ten Days

More Than a Million Stamps Must be
Sold in Ten Days
At least $4,000 Red Cross holiday
greetings stamps must be sold between
now and Christmas day to make the
campaign of the Wisconsin Anti Tuber-
culosis association to sell 100000
stamps at one cent each, the object be-
ing to raise money for carrying on a
crusade to stamp out consumption in
w isconsin, q success.
The association now has representa-
tives in nearly every city in the state
and if they cannot supply the demand,
applications should be directed immedi-
ately to Stanley A. Douglas, All Gold
smith building, Milwaukee, who is in
charge of the campaign Tt is impera-
tive that the good work be pushed at
this time, because the dread white
plague is growing worse and worse
every day and the best and easiest way
to assist is by buying one or more of
the Bed Cross stamps.
Inc stamps, besides adding a penny
to the fund to stamp out tuberculosis,
are useful in sending the compliments
Of the season on Christmas gifts, pack,
ages letters, and every person who
buys a stamp is not only aiding high
" commendable movement but is get
ting Christmas stickers at no more
than retail cost
There should be no delay in buying
stamps, for the quicker the 100000
stamps are sold, the quicker can the
fight to wipe out the terrible disease
be started.
