your hose streams. Have them re-
moved, in particular have them re-
moved from your cellars. There was
ii day when light wells protected by
glass were needed in cellars, and l
will admit they were preferable to
candles. Kerosene lamps and matches,
that would otherwise be necessary
when anyone entered the cellar but
who will contend that any such ar
elect lefty in every town. Grated cell
lar doors on sidewalks are a relic Of
the past and present fire trap wherev-
er located. They catch trash, cigar
and cigarette stumps and matches.
and afford an inlet for the air needed
to sustain fire. Cover such cellar
doors with sheet metal; or, better
still, close up the doors and stop the
use of the cellars which are not need
ed in the average town in this terri
tory.
Another and final point to which
| will call your attention is, this: Very
frequently the newspaper reporter
will call upon the members Of the
Fire Department for an estimate of
a loss Always make these estimates
as reasonable as your knowledge and
experience justifes. In the adjust
ment of losses. the honest man is pre-
pared to submit the best evidence in
MS possession as to the actual loss
sustained. A dishonest claimant is
always ready to take advantage Of an
| exaggerated report which has been
printed in the newspapers and which
must influence the ideas Of the COM
munity. A reasonable estimate by
the firemen who handle the fire and
who base their estimate upon Obser-
vatiOn and knowledge gained before
and at the time of the fire would de-
ter dishonest and exaggerated claims
on the part Of such persons. An ad-
| justor is instructed to obtain the truth
and make just settlement. The
amount involved does not affect his
income or his standing with the COM
pany and We must not lose sight of
the fact that an insurance company is
merely disbursing officer and that
| they pay in one community what they
collect in another. When one man Is
paid more than his honest loss, the
general public makes up the differ
ence in higher rates. Contribute
what you can to the just and honest
| settlement Of losses in your commu-
nifty.
/ thank you for this opportunity to
address your Association and trust
that my remarks may lead you to a
| better understanding of the object
which the South Carolina Fire Pre-
lventiOn Association has in view. We
will avail ourselves Of any assistance
which you may be able to lend for the
reduction OF the fire waste.
We are all working with the same
object in view and can accomplish
more by working together.
