.HARBOR TO HAVE
FIRE PROTECTION
CHIEF LIPS RECOMMENDS TWO
AUTO HOSE CARTS
WOULD UTILIZE SALT WATER TO
PROTECT CITY
When Modern Improvements Are ln-
stalled, Insurance Rates in San
Pedro and Wilmington
Will Be Reduced

In the eyes of the insurance under
writer's San Pedro and Wilmington
have been without fire protection, for
they have maintained the rates at the
harbor identical with those in Los An
geles county ranch districts. This will
be changed and insurance rates will be
materially lowered because of modern
fire protection improvements to be in
stalled by Los Angeles.
Fire Chief Lips, following his in
spection at Wilmington and San Pedro,
filed yesterday with Mayor Alexander
letter of recommendation which con-
templates the establishment of reg
ular department station, offering pro-
lection to the harbor end of the city
night and day. In addition, he pro-
poses to utilize salt water protection
in a way that will afford immediate
relief.
The proposed extension of fire pro-
lection to the harbor will be before the
city council today. Chief Lips reported
he found the apparatus inadequate and
the pressure too feeble, and met the
problem with the recommendation that
a salt water pipe line be run from the
harbor through the business and resi-
dence sections, with tireproof pump
ing station at the waters edge to give
pressure. With automobile fire trucks
he thinks a Confagration, now likely to
I!dpp6H dl any iItlle, may Dt pIbNGul6u
Eventually Chief Lips says the city
will need enlarged harbor service, in
cluding a fire tug. His immediate rec
concentrations are as follows:
Chiefs Recommendation
1.-TWO automobile chemical hose wag-
ons, in addition to the salt water sys-
tenn, would give that city all necessary
protection for a number of years to
come, except that later or when the
shipping business increases arrange
ments should be made for the pur-
chase of a fire tug to operate on the
bay
For temporary relief or until the
installation of the system above rec
commended can be installed, would sug-
gest that an automobile combination
wagon be provided to be housed in the
quarters under the city hall, and that
provision be made for the employment
of at least four men, to consist of a
captain, chauffeur-Who shall not only
drive the apparatus to the fire, but as
sist on arrival at the fire-and two fire
men, sleeping quarters to he provided
and the above mentioned men to be on
duty day and night, the same as in
our department here.
I'm connection with the salt water
system, would recommend that two
way hydfants be placed at intervals of
200 feet through the business district
and not farther than 400 feet in the
residence section. This would elimin-
ate the laying of long lines of hose,
and the loss of pressure of water pass
ing through 21a inch hose.
''I feel that for the proper protection
of San Pedro immediate action should
be taken to provide the system and
apparatus as outlined, and with the
starting of a fire in the business sec
ton, with the facilities now on hand
proper protection is out of the ques-
ton"

ther authorized and instructed
to obtain copies of all wharf
franchises and show their loca-
tion on a map, marking number
of feet occupied under each
franchise; also to acquire the
data for the construction of a
boulevard connecting both the
outer and inner harbors and the
present business districts of the
city of Los Angeles and also re-
port as to the progress of the
city of Wilmington in its i'm
provement of the inner or Will
mingtOn harbor, and that a
copy of such documents be filed
with the city attorney and the
harbOr commission of the city
of Los Angeles.
This commission, at this time,
would respectfully call your at
tention to the fact that not only
has Los Angeles come into control
of one of the future great harbOrs,
but among her acquisitions she can
number Terminal Island, which
presents one of the great Lathing
beaches of the coast safe and
pleasant, and one that should re-
ceive the attention of this city.
There is no reason why our pos
sessions of the harbor should not
be developed to their utmost, that
all of their natural advantages in
the way of scenery, commercial
availability and pleasure should
not be made available.
New Ordinance Necessary
Reporting further, your commits
sion states that since the passage
of Ordinance No. 1881, which be
came a law December IS, 1907. by
which this commission was created
and it's duties defined, that condi-
tions relative to the control of a
harbor. the construction thereof,
and its management, have mater
tally changed and the duties there
in assigned to the harbor commits
sion do not at this time conform
to present conditions, and we there
fore advise that this ordinance be
revised or amended so. that the de
velopment of the harbor shall
proceed eXpeditiously and intelli-
gently. and that there may be no
friction or conflict of authority
touching the same.
