Reduced Fire Hazard

often without ventilation. Thus,
when the fierce summer sun beats
down upon the roof, the attic be-
comes veritable furnace and spon-
taneous combustion occurs in the
rubbish, dust, oily rags, highly var
nished pieces of furniture, etc.
Spring is the painting season and
a caution as to the handling and
storing of rags used in wiping var
nished or oily surface or wiping
paint from the painters hands is
timely. The only safe place for such
greasy rags is in the stove. If kept
for any length of time to be used
again, they should be stored in a
substantial, covered iron receptacle.
Many fires are started each year
by the careless burning of the rub
bish accumulated in yards and al
leys during the winter. The burn
ing of this rubbish is too often left
to the children, which annually not
only costs large number of lives
or serious injury, but result in the
TOTAL OBSTRUCTION vi many tHouodHu
dollars of property.
The people of Minnesota are be-
ginning to take an active interest In
the idea of prevention of fire waste
and there is no greater opportunity
for them to do effective work along
this line than in thoroughly cleaning
their premises both inside and out
and the proper handling of the ref
use accumulated therefrom.
City and village authorities and
boards of health are requested to CO.
operate with the Minnesota state
fire marshal department in reducing
the annual loss caused by the care
less handling of refuse at this sea-
son of the year.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1912-04-05

At this season of the year, nature
is about to put on her most beautiful
garb. The people generally realize
the necessity of putting their prem
Uses in order. The figures furnish
ed by fire statistics of 1911 en-
phatically indicate the necessity of
cleaning up. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars would not make
good the fire loss in Minnesota in
1911 caused by carelessness in con-
nection with the annual cleanup.
This cleaning should extend from
cellar to garnet. from house to out
buildings, alleys and yards. A fly
ing spark lodging, lighted match
or a live cigar or cigarette stub
thrown carelessly into rubbish in
or outside of buildings has caused
many disastrous fires. The chorc
boy may carelessly throw a match or
cigar or cigarette stub into the
rubbish surrounding barns or in
barns; the clerk may throw either
into the rubbish OF the basement OIL
business blocks where paper, ex-
celsior and other packing materials
are often allowed to accumulate;
the thoughtless passer-by may throw
a cigar or cigarette stub through the
grating in the sidewalk into the
dust and filth below. Perhaps we
cannot prevent the people from
carelessly throwing matches or
cigars, but we can prevent the ac-
emulation of combustible and in
flammable materials, if we will.
In this cleaning up of premises,
the attic should not be forgotten.
In them dust and spider webs ac-
cllmulate and all sorts of inflammable
stuff is stored away. Attics are too

People Forced to Move.
The homes Of a dozen or more
families residing in that immediate
district have been flooded. Most OF
these families found temporary quar-
ters.
The north end of the Golfer dam
gave way under the tremendous
pressure. The main portion has not
been damaged and it is not likely
it will be. The water will be al
lowed to run until the stage at
Fountain lake is reduced so that
repairs can be made.
The shores of Fountain lake are
the center of the choicest residence
section and so far that part oil the
city has escaped all damage.
Reports Were Exaggerated.
The reports that were sent out
from Albert Lea Saturday after
noon were exaggerated. The damage
will not amount to more than SlO,-
coo or $4,000, and it is a question
whether the latter figure will be
reached. All danger of a flood OF
any proportion is now past.
