Council Is Told How /
City Can Materially
Reduce Its Fire Risk

| How HarrisburgAc can. materially re-
| duce its mercantile fire Insurance risks
under the new standard rating" es-
tablished by the Board of Fire Under
writers, was explained in detail to
City Council this afternoon by Attor-
ney ]. E. B. Cunningham, counsel for
the Chamber of Commerce. Edwin S.
Herman president of the Planning
Commission, and Secretary McColgin.
or the chamber, attended the session.
Harrisburg is penalized, according
TO the report of Mr.. CUNNINGHAM, six
teen cents per hundred on its mercan-
riel fire risks based on the standard
rate of twenty cents.
Forty or more methods Of reducing
the risks, fixed by certain number Of
points were explained. These were
decided upon after the Fire Under
writers had made a thorough survey
of the city.
The same principles, Mr.. Cunning
ham pointed out, could be applied to
dwellings and he has no doubt that
the insurance risks on dwellings will
be materially decreased. The Cham
ber of Commerce, he said, was par
ucularly interested in the mercantile
rates.
Here are few of the ways in which
1t can reduce its risks:
Reorganization of a fire depart-
ment into paid system with ninety
men; revision of building code; elimi-
nation OF overhead wires; providing
A., all motor apparatus; increasing hose
suppyl to 19,500 feet (the city now
has in the neighborhood of 10000;
increased pressure; turning pumping
station into fireproof building: provid-
ing additional water feed mains from
reservoir; placing of additional water
mains; substituting six for four-inch
hydrants; cleaning water pipe system:
overhauling firehouses; semiannuai
testing of pumping capacity; removal
of police and fire alarm system to
fireproof building; substitution of mod
ern switch and testing board in police
| and fire alarm headquarters: improve
ment of circuits; installing a fire box
within 500 feet of every mercantile
building; present boxes to be replaced
with more modern type
Council referred the report to Com
missioners Bowman and Taylor who
will report to Council after which a
conference will be arranged with the
Chamber of Commerce on the subject

and Emerald streets. The price was
not an unusual bargain. Nobody con-
tended that It was. But the upper
end folks had obtained nothing from
the public playground improvement
fund. Didn't these people deserve
some share of the fund which they
voted for. and which they are helping
to pay? And realty men-men who
know something of land values, con-
tended that the price was reasonable.
And | also considered it fair.
The statement with relation to
Atlas street is also deliberately false.
Atlas street, which extends through a
portion of this playground, is on the
map, but was never physically opened.
10 Vacate a street requires four votes
OF Council to pass; to strike the street
from the map requires three. In the
near future the street will be stricken
from the map And as for the people
In the neighborhood, whom 1t is said
can have no outlet from their prop
critics because of the playground, why
not ask them as to. the true situation?
AS matter of fact. there is and al
/ ways will be an outlet Just beside the
playground, as we'll as an outlet on
Seneca street.
The Care of Trees
AS for the City Forestry Depart
ment, for which only $1,000 salary,
and a contingent fund of 500 has
been provided. This salary and fund
were fixed by Council. AS I stated at
the time, and as Council generally un-
derstood, l believe, the work for the
hrst year was meant to be largely pre-
liminary, a census taking of the trees,
and so on. The ordinance turned
over to the city all the trees on the
streets and this meant that the new
department had to Immediately take
| over their care and maintenance. It
was fully understood by Council that
this amount was totally insufficient to
do all this work. 1t wasn't a case of
| anybody's poor estimate-it was SIM
ply lack of funds.
| The Fire Apparatus Purchase
with relation to my refusal to
award tn contract for fire apparatus
to the Morton Truck and Tractor
Company, I can only say this: The
& oid Oh that company was s4.25o for
CHASSIS for engines, and $4,000 for
combination wagons. If these bids
had been accepted, only four instead
or hVe pieces of motor apparatus could
have been purchased. True, the Nor
ton company did bid on a four-wheel
drive but this would have meant that
the apparatus would have been an
Cngainly impractical six-wheeled ve-
hlcle-a vehicle which Is rapidly be-
coming obsolete. Every fireman in
this.
No Political or Personal Friendship
Mr. Dunkle, president of the COM
! pany. is one of my best friends and
| II l had considered political advance
ment as I have been charged with
doing. / would most surely have fav-
ored his firm. AS 1t was, was ready
TO award part of the contract to
the Morton. Company, but 1t with
drew Its bid. Far be it from me to
speak disparagingly of any concern.
but ! do wish to say this: We've had
TO repeatedly make repairs and
changes to the Morton apparatus. In
asmuch as being the first piece of ap-
| paratus built by this firm, 1t was
somewhat experimental in character.
No such repairs have been REQUIRED I,v
the other equipment"

IMPLICATION CAUSES
