FIRE PREVENTION
DAY" IS WELL KEPT
Nature Contributes Rain;
Children Learn of Best
Methods of Protection.

Yesterday being .'Firc Prevention
Day. in Utah. it was altogether f1t-
ting and proper that the elements
should assist by rainfall. In addi-
tion to nature s observance Of the day,
fire drills and simple lectures on fire
prevention were given in many of the
schools throughout the state.
Tho work of Insurance Commissioner
Willard Done in advocating fire pre-
vcntion measures is attracting atten-
ton in insurance circles throughout
the country. Following tho lead of
Utah the state of California observes
April is as fire prevention day. That
date Is the anniversary of the San
Francisco earthquake and fire. Oc-
anniversary of the Chicago fire.
Now that ] have the matter VOL
under way,H said Commissioner Done,
''my next step will be an effort to
organize a Fire Prevention association
i'll Utah. ] want prominent business
men, state officials, firemen and in
surance company representatives to be
the members. Such m association
could do much toward reducing the fire
loss. Violations of the laws regarding
the cleaning up Of rubbish, of build
ihS h'NoiulHS W htNp'poI S'dhudtNo'
the lack of proper appliances with
which TO combat fre-all of these
things could be reported by members
Of the association to the chief officers,
so that the conditions in each case
could be remedied.'
Quoting from n recent speech before
the Transmississippi Commercial con-
gress, Mr., Done showed that the fire
loss in the United States amounts to
$500 a minute.
''That would be the equivalent Of an
average man g home being burned up
every three minutes. Think Of what
sensation it. would cause if twenty
$500 residences in Salt Lake were
burned up in an hour. And yet that
is what the loss every minute of the
day and night amounts to in this coun-
try Much Of II can be prevented, and
| believe we have q good start to-
ward reducing the loss in this state
through the assistance ! have received
from those interested in Utah. -
Commissioner Dono has offered a SO
and s. prize for the first and second
best essays on fire prevention to be
written by the children Of the seventh
and eighth grades in the state Each
county superintendent Will send in the
two best essays from the schools in
his Jurisdiction. They must be in the
hands of Mr. Done by October 80. He
will grade them and mako the awards.
The limit for the essays is 1000 words.

WILL TEST VALIDITY
Of TAX DEED LAW
City Commission Raises the
Question as 10 Title Held
by Purchaser.

The city commissioners yesterday de-
termined to attack the validity of the
state laws which give a title to real
estate after tax deed h0s been secured
and the other necessary legal steps taken.
a resolution by Commissioner G. D.
kcyser authorized the legal departme ent
to take whatever steps are necessary to
get into court with a case involving GER
tain parcels OF land in sections IL and Is,
township / south, range l east, and
valued at $4,000.
The ground. which Is located in the
neiShoorhood OF the penitentiary and is
known as the Moon land. was q numb
OF years ago Illegally assessed and then
sold for taxes. Suit was filed by the
purchasers OF the tax title, and then the
city attorney filed a disclaimer of title
on behalf of the city.
Tho commissioners believe that recent
decisions OF courts Indicate that such title
is not valid. and an effort Will be made
10 secure the return OF the land to the
city. 1t is contended h& the commissions
ers and admitted by the legal depart
ment. that " such success Is attained,
that the entire state law affecting tax
titles might be brought IyIo question.
