should any attach, over the purchase Of
an alleged worthless automobile truck by

an automobile not worth to exceed $500 at

Of the fire department. but through a
third party
Chief Clements admitted he had ap-
proved the purchase and said he had
urged It as a means of saving the city.
He admitted he had received SIS from
Kemplin. but said it was in payment of
a debt which Kemplin had been owing
him for two years. when the chief loaned
Kemplin money 10 build a home.
The present agitation, the fire chief
said, was an attempt to besmirch Com
missioner Wright and Mayor Bryan and
also due to the efforts OF disappointed
automobile owners who wanted TO sell
a machine to the city.
He said ne would produce proof at the
proper time that the city got is moneys
worth.

nation follows:
The Safety First Federation of Amer

TO prevent the loss OF life and property

and caution in handling and disposing OF
inflammable and combustible substances.
In order that this waste be reduced to
the minimum, I. as governor, recommend
that on October 9 all public buildings,
factories and homes be thoroughly
cleansed of rubbish accumulations.
THAT all heating, lighting and fire
extinguishing apparatus be examined,
and II found defective. promptly repaired.
"That fire drills be held in all schools,
factories and other places where fire
escapes are established.
That lectures be given in all pubic
schools on Friday. October s, by repre-
sentatives OF the fire departments on the
common hazard of fire and where such
officials are not available that teachers
be urged to give such instructions as
they may have at their command on the
subject.
THE latest estimate of the loss by
fire in the United States and Canada
for 1914 was $685.. 591, $50. Reasonable eau
ton and the adoption of protective
measures would have greatly reduced
this enormous total.
