STATE PREVENTION OF FIRES
Inspection of Mineral Point by State Fire Marshal
Purtell and Assistants.
REPORT CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
Found Some Places Where Greater Precaution is
Necessary.

State Fire Marshal T. NJ Purtell and
Assistant Harry S. Marion, julius G..
Graef and Walter E. Atwater visited
Mineral Point on last Wednesday and
made a thorough inspection Of all the
mercantile and manufacturing proper
ties situated here. They represent the
Wisconsin State Fire Prevention As
sOciation, and the object Of the associa
lion is to advise Wisconsin property
pwners as to the possibilities Of reducing
he great fire waste of this country and
suggest the many ways in which
individual risks can be improved.
The inspection Of places in Mineral
Point showed that they were generally
in good condition. In few cases the
inspectors found things were not salts
factory, but the owners Of the proper
ties cheerfully agreed TO put them in
proper condition.
The State Fire Marshal and the in
spectors were pleased at finding that
SO many places here are kept neat and
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1911-06-01

clean, thus greatly lessening the risks
of fires. They reported that they found
a willingness on the property owners to
cooperate with them in the work of
fire prevention. They rightly say that
the cost of fire insurance is based upon
the general loss throughout the country.
1t is general tax. Such cost can be
greatly reduced by a general reduction
in the fire waste and each property
owner must do his or her share to reach
the desired end. Improvements in the
physical hazard of building will bring
a reduction in the cost of insurance and
all fire insurance companies are willing
to grant a property owner reduced
rate if he lessons the chance of fire to
his building Or it's contents; the insur
ance companies expect the owners to
keep his premises neat and clean at all
times The owner of property is unfair
to the insurance companies and to his
business neighbors if he does not keep
his property in the best possible condi
ton.

Simplicity of La Fontaine.

Apropos of the simple. philosophical
La Fontaine | either read or heard a
touching trait of his simplicity. He
was wise enough to despise money and
spent all he had from not knowing it's
value or caring for it's production.
When reduced to nothing he lived with
a friend who loved him and supplied
the very few wants he had. This
friend died. One who had known La
Fontaine at his house Immediately
went to invite him to come and live
with him. He met La Fontaine on the
road to his chateau. and upon hearing
the invitation the poet replied. 'J'y
ALIAS" CI was going there'O. The mai
vete Of his reply is very striking.-From

NEIGHBORS.

All the grasping and the greed
of this world come from not re-
garding our fellows as our neigh
bors. One doesn't trample his
neighbors. He works with them
to a common end. We must
come to look on all the world as
our neighbors. We must do
away with the idea of classes.
There isn't any justification for
class lines in America. They are
unjust, unwhOlesome, upright
eous and un-American. Why
should we have class lines here
in this country and one man de-
spise another just because he
has been lucky enough to make
a little more money? A man has
some right to be proud Of what
he makes with his own hands
and his own brains, but he
hasn't any business putting on
airs over what he is merely try
ing to spend.-Jacob A. Riis.

Lafayette County Purchases Ma
chinery for Making Roads.
The Darlington Republican Journal:
After years spent in agitation and edu
cation, Lafayette county has at last
started to build permanent good roads
The action of the County Board at the
January session, with which our people
are familiar, the further action of seven
towns in voting S. 900, to which the
county adds a similar amount, has
warranted the committee in making the
necessary parchase of machinery with
which to begin work. The committee
consisting of Carl Chandler of Blanch-
ardville, Jacob Harris of Benton, and
George Ward of Darlington, acting
with Joseph Ward, county road com
missioner, purchased the following road
machinery: A Sprinfield- Kelly road
roller that weighs ten tons, a road
rooter or pillow, one hundred feet of
drill and four horse road grader, to-
gether with the necessary tools for
sharpening the blades. The machinery
is expected here this week and the work
of quarrying rock has already begun.
The first work will be done on the
Centre hill south of the city, and in a
short time our people will be able to
see what a modern, up to- date country
road is like.
The cost of the road will approximate
two thousand dollars per mile. Green
county has already built tweaty three
miles of road under this system, and at
the last spring election every town in
the county but one voted tax for road
purposes, Lafayette county will build
about five miles this summer.
