The steamer of the Juniors wasossa
only two fires at the Freed and tkseisa
Ice Co. stables.
According 10 the records, there ~.
~ fire alarms IN Frederick for The N,
1912. Ten Of these we're false alarms. II
was estimated last year that the total 6re
loss was less than $4,000. In IeIIs iher6
were 27 fire alarms two OF Which were
false The loss estimated for that year
was between s.. 900 and So, 600.
The chief loss in 1912 was the fire in|
the Marvel theatre. 1t is remark4ble chat
there has been so few destructive fires IN
Frederick during recent years. II shows
the efficiency of the Frederick Fire De-
partment which has checked many bad
blazes and saved much property. The
total fire loss in the past three years is
not as great as might be expected Tor one
year.
