PREVENTION OF fires is
GREAT LESSON TO LEARN

it is a part Of the public schools cur
riculum. 1t is also being considered
in several other states.
At the 1911 convention of fire insur-
anCc commissioners the members of
the convention pledged themselves 10
cooperate with the governors OF the
states they represented to secure the
establishment of an annual Fire
Prevention Day and the Inauguration
of the fire prevention measures.
Teach the Children
The influence OF the child i'm the
home and in the school can be made
a powerful factor in fire prevention
if they are taught what great losses
of life and property may occur if they
are careless in handling matches,
playing with fire. or tampering with
any fire lighting apparatus, such is
hydTants, hose reels, hose racks and
hydTant Wreuches. IL is the duty of
every father and mother. every citi-
zen, TO see that these things are not
tamreTed with. for they are the ones
who should be Interested in the pro-
lection of their homes and places of
business
The business man should consider
it reflection upon his business sense
and his good citizenship for it 10 be-
come necessary for the fire chief or
other officials to warn him to remove
an accumulation of rubbish aud de-
bris from his premises or the care
less throwing of papers in the rear Of
the building, in the street or alley. He
should understand that when he is
protecting his own DrOUeTtE he is DrO-
tecting his ncighbOr's property, be-
cause all property that is subject to
taxation, when destroyed by fire places

IA higher tax on property that is not
destroyed. The more property there is
to be taxed the lower the tax rate;
the less property there is to be taxed
the higher the tax rate. So il is not
only a duty, but an act of self-pro-
lection TO prevent the destruction Of
a neighbors property by fire.
While Bisbee has had a great many
fire alarms and fires in the past two
; ears the loss by fire has been very
small because the city officials and
tax payers were taught hard lesson
on October IA. 1908 in the fire that
started in the Grand hotel on Main
street. The condition of the town has
been greatly improved since that
time by the passing of good build
ing code the passing of an ordinance
preventing the use of gasoline in the
corporate limits of the city, installing
d good water system and adding the
equipment TO the fire department.
Can Help the Town.
II is within our power TO prevent
the REPETITION of the fire losses in re-
cent years that have done so much TO
hold the city back, by educating the
people in matters of fire prevention
and in forming a public sentiment that
will demand preventive measures.
While firemen and city officials gen
orally are bringing these things con
stantly to the attention of the public,
it must not be falsely assumed that
they are actuated by a desire to min
imizing their duties in preventing
fires Quite to the contrary. firemen
like to go to fires and work against
them Fires break the monOtony OF
the dull life at the quarters. of the I'M
ending, expectant wait But while fire.
men are lighting fire, enjoying them
selves in a way, some poor unfortu.

world, the accumulation OF years of
hard work and families of women and
children are left helpless and driven
