Properties Here and Will Ask
City Council TO Pass a
Rigid Ordinance.

After inspecting properties here,
twenty-four members Of the West
Virginia Fire Prevention Association
held general meeting at the Waldo
hotel Thursday night. The inspec-
ton was made for the purpose of
calling the attention OF owners and
occupants in the mercantile sections
of the city to untidy and inflammable
conditions, accumulation OF waste
and trash and other dangerous but
easily preventable conditions of such
premises with the hope that co-opera-
ton OF citizens in the removal and
correction of the same would be Sc
cured.
When 1t is remembered that the
IRE waste of the United States
amounts to some $25O.OOO,0OO annaul-
ly, and that at least forty per cent
of 1t comes from such easily prevent
able sources as carelcssness as to
rubbish trash, waste packing ma
terial, defective electrical equip
ments, it manifests itself at once that
the work of this association is i'm
portant and the cooperation of the
public with 1t, means the saving of
money, property and life to the coun-
try generally.
The members of the association re-
port that they have been generally
courteously received, and that their
recommendations and suggestions
have been listened to with interest.
Three hundred and thirty-five
places were inspected and of them
there were 1911 concerning which there
was no cHticism, and l42 which were
found defective.
There was prevalence of the use
OF rubber tubing to gas stoves and
other heating defices. Metal pipe is
recommended to replace this charact-
er of connection Accommodations OF
trash, waste. and rubbish are report
cd as existing in alleys, back yards,
Easements and in building corners.
This is dangerous as it lends itself to
ready starting of fires and the spread
ing OF the same. There seems to be
considerable negligence as TO the
keeping of gasoline in other than
safety cans and receptacles as we'll
as the keeping on the premises of
dangerous quantities of this very
volatile liquid. Many open gas Jets

solUtely unprotected. Many places
were NSuipped wN.h old and defective
electric wiring.
The above conditions are easily
corrected and their continued exist
ence being menace not only to the
premises in or about which they do
exist, but to all surrounding prop
erty. they should be moved or rem
edled without delay.
City ordinances regulating the use
and storage of gasoline and other
infiammable materials; the use OF
rubber tubing connections to heating
devices; and regulating the cleaning
up of waste. trash and rubbish and
the prompt removal OF same; and
preventing the use of open and un.
