CHIEF POTTER
GIVES POINTS
ABOUT FIRES
A Bunch Of Dont's and Suggestions
All to Help the Citizen.

What to do in case of fire and what
not to do, is Chinese problem to so
many people that Fire Chief Potter
has prepared neat list of dos" and
"donts" for the benefit of citizens
generally, and more especially house.
holders.
Since october, the increase in the
number of alarms has been remarka-
BILE, while the number of actual fires
has almost in the same ratio dropped
Scores of the alarms are not necessa-
ry and entail large expense to the
city besides the risk Of death to men
and horses inevitable in the wild race
to the scene of fire.
Hot ashes and defective stove fiues
furnish such large proportion of
the cause of fires in this city that
stringent order on the matter of hot
ashes is surely needed. Even in down
town business buildings tenants are
permitted to leave ashes in a wooden
box in the hall In any other city,
the tenant and owner alike would be
fined in the police court.
AS vice president for Mississippi
of the International Fire Chiefs AS
ISOLATION, Chief Potter is preparing
also a general circular, which will be
used in a number of cities and towns.
This circular will cover the same
pointers in The News today.
Help Hattiesburg.
"a city's prosperity in no small
way depends upon the efficiency of
it's fire department and small losses
from fire and water" says Chief Pot.
ter in his circular. Every build
ing destroyed means that much loss
to the community as we'll as to the
individual owner. Every stock dam
aged works hardship. To reduce
loss is what department is provided
for. The less the loss-the better
the department must be.
The Hattiesburg fire department
will do it's part in keeping down these
losses. viii you do yours and there
by help yourself, your neighbor and
your eity9
Here are few suggestions, which,
If studied and followed, may enable
you to do much in time of emer-
gency to save property and perhaps
life. Chiefly, however, they will show
in way how to prevent fires-an
ounce of prevention is worth ton OF
fire wagons and fire hose.
Stoves and Fire Places.
Do not go away from houses leaving !
red hot fire in stove or crate, with
no one there to watch it. 1t is ex-
ceeGingly dangerous We have had |
more fires started from this than any
other cause.
Gasoline. s..
Never fiji gasoline cans or tanks at |
night, OR by a light Keep gasoline
cans outdoors. If you detect the odor
of gasoline or gas, look for the leak.
but never with light of any kind. |
Open doors and windows to let the
gas escape before striking a match.
Leaving Buildings Alone.
Before leaving residence, store or
factory, see that all fires are guarded
against. If you detect odor of smoke,
search for its origin-don't leave the
premises until it is located. Close
all doors, hatch-ways and partition
doors. Leave shades and curtains up
30 that passersby can detect fire in
or houses if any should oc-
eur.
Electric Wires.
Never handle live electric wire,
n attempt to cut itrors any crossed
telephone wires. Notify the power
louse at once. Do not try to Jerk (or

PROPERTY OWNER

The Supreme Court OF Appeals yes

N skiing unpaid gas bills a quasi lien
on the roerty of the owner until the
bills are paid. The action was based
on the appeal In the case Of p. II.
Mayo against Joseph NJ. Shelton, city
gas inspector.
The case came up on an appeal
from the Chancery Court OF Rich
mond, which on the first OF Decem Der
refused Mr.. Mayo a peremptory writ

tor
The original plaintiff in the suit, a.
the owner OF the property. rented
same to a restaurant keeper who In
turn rented the property to another.
The gas bill was left unpaid and in
time was cut or. A later renter found
that the gas could not be used with
out payment OF back gas bills, and
the owner OF the property made a
test Of the law, the result being more
or less irritating as Mr.. Mayo did
not know Of the unpaid bills until It
was too late to protect himself.
