Problem of Fire Protection to
Come Before Board
Thursday.

Mayor Robbins and three members
Of his board of public works, Alfred
Bavis, John McMinn and Charles Mar
latt were astounded and amused today
to discover that one Of the methods
employed by the former administra-
ton to carry out it's economy" pro-
gram was not to take out fire insur-
anCe on any of the public buildings, in
cluding the city hall and the munici-
pal plant.
There has been no insurance on any
public building for the last four years,
although for an outlay of not more
than $1,000 a year, it is believed, all
the buildings including the fire de-
partnent houses could be we'll pro-
tected from loss by fire.
NO time will be lost in protecting
the city from possible fire losses at
its public buildings,' remarked Mayor
Robbins.
Score False Economy.
That the Zimmerman administra
tons no insurance policy was penny
wise, pound foolish was the emphatic
declaration of President Bavis, and his
sentiments were cOncurred in by the
other board members.
istrator Of the peoples estate" said
Mr. Bavis, and as such it is repre-
hensible for the city government not
fully to protect the citizens from all
POSSIBLE losses. If the administrator
Of the estate of some individual failed
to protect the heirs by insuring the
buildings belonging to the estate. he
would be held strictly accountable for
his negligence by the court in the
event OF fire. The city government.
as the administrator of the public S
estate should be held equally respon-
sible i'll similar cases"
The last four years, insurance agents
have repeatedly urged the board of
public works to take out insurance
policies on public buildings, but in
vain. The answer always was that
fire companies were located in the city
hall and the fire department houses
and that the city light plant was
amply equipped with fire fighting de
vices.
1t is quite probable the question of
taking out insurance on public build
ings will be taken up at the board
meeting Thursday. PrOba bly, the in
surance will be prorated among the
various fire insurance companies hay
ing agencies in this city. The board
keenly realizes that in the event any
public building should be destroyed or
badly damaged by fire the ensuing 9
four years and the loss not met with
insurance there would be most EN-
phatic protest.
