Would Regulate Building in State.

Would Regulate Building in State.
Madison-That legislation should
be passed by the state limiting the
right of municipal common councils
to issue building permits and that a
general state building law be passed
and rigidly enforced are two of the
main features of State Fire Marshal T.
NJ. PurtelPs fourth annual report.
According to the state official, the
city councils are in the habit of enact
ing rigid building legislation and then
evading its provisions by issuing spe-
cial permits.
Among other features of the report
is the statement that most of the fires
are the result of criminal carelessness
and neglect and that rigid enforce
ment Of the laws would eliminate the
majority of the fires.
While practically the same amount
of property was affected by fires in
1910 as in 1909, $20,000,000, the loss
last year was 100000 less than in
1909, was another statement of the re
port This would tend to show an i'm
provemept in fire fighting methods.
AS a means of lessening the annual
fire toll, the marshal suggests that
courses OF instruction in the proven
ton of fires be instituted in all schools
and also suggests a general building
law to supercede the various building
ordinances passed by the cities.
That the present laws are being en-
forced is shown by the fact that the
department has succeeded in sending
five offenders to states prison for VIC
lating the state statutes in regard to
fires, one to the house of correction
four to insane asylums, two cases are
now pending, in one of which the ac-
cused has been bound over to the cir
cHit court five cases are being investi-
gated while one suspect is a fugitive
from justice.
Among the preventive measures car
ried out by the department was a
series of bulletins warning citizens
against the danger of fires on July 4
and Christmas and the making Of a
model city ordinance more severe in
its provisions than the state law regu
lating the size of fire crackers. This
ordinance has been adopted by some
cities. He also states that the injuries
incident to Independence day celebra-
tions we're less the last year than in
1909 and expresses the conviction that
sane fourth" is only a matter Of a
few years.

win Change Primary Law.

Two important bills affecting the
primary election law are soon to be
offered in both houses. One provides
for the calling Of a special primary
before q special election to fill a va
cancy and the other makes a notable
change in the manner of choosing
presidential electors. AS the law now
stands, delegates to a state platform
convention are chosen at primary in
April, and that convention chooses
the electors. Under the proposed
new law, the delegates will be chosen
as now provided, but the convention
following would only nominate those
who are to be voted on as electOus.
Then the ballot will contain the
names OF the various candidates for
president and viCe-president, at the
head Of the columns in which the
names of the electoral nominees are
printed Thus the voters can be alb
solutely sure that the electors for
whom they propose to vote are
pledged to vote for certain presiden-
tial candidates.
The bill also provides for the circu-
lation of nomination papers in behalf
of the presidential candidates. in or
der that their names may go on the
ballot in the same manner as those of
other candidates at primary.

the commission will recommend to the

erinlths Advocates Patrol.

State Forester E. M Grifiths
quoted Governors F. E. McGoverG
and Eberhart in advocacy Of stronger
forest fire protection laws, and said
that their advanced position thereon
comes at an opportune time. For just
last year, he said, the enormous sum
of S5,OO0,0OO was lost through the de
struction of northern Wisconsin for
ests. making a $14,000,0C0 loss in
the past two years. He renewed his
recommendation made 1T the recent
Lake States Forest Fire conference,
at st. Paul, for provision for a forest
fire patrol which will seek to prevent
the inception of fires. For this pur-
pose he advocated a two-tenths mill
tax which will yield 100000 annually,
$3.50, GOO to be used for a fire patrol
and S350,000 to purchase new forest
reserve lands. In no case has the
state paid over $3.50 an acre for for
est reserves.
Mr.. Grifiths spoke entertainingly Of
the beautiful lake country Of northern
Wisconsin, such as Villas county,
with its / 200 lakes, now an attractive
summer resort. and said the state
must be ready to spend money if this
and other valuable districts are to be
preserved for their natural uses.
