No matter what his position on the

Fire insurance rates in Tacoma
will be increased probably one
third as soon as the new two-pla-
toon system is inaugurated in the
fire department.
This was the definite assurance
given in Seattle Thursday after
noon by members of the Washing
ton Surveying & Rating Bureau to
Commissioner Petit and city At
torney Harmon.
The bureau, which adjusts all
insurance rates in the state, held
a special session 10 discuss the
Tacoma fire risk situation.
Petit and Harmon, hearing OF
the meeting, hurried to Seattle to
attempt to persuade the under
writer's to minimize the increase.
Efficiency Reduced a Third?
Because the two-platoon system
is to be effected with the same
number of firemen as the present
system, Taeoma's fire department
efficiency will be reduced one
third, the underwriters decided.
The fire underwriters told the
Tacoma Representatives that Ia
coma's fire department should
contain at least $50 men under
the present system, and more than
200 men under the two-platoon
system. The department has only
105 men.
INSPECTION Abolished.
Establishment of the two-pla-
toon will mean that the fire de-
partment must abolish its system
of inspection of buildings in the
city, which has resulted during the
past year In many needed clean
ups in old structures, and a great
decrease in fire risks.
The fire insurance men agreed
that Tacoma had done the best
thing it possibly could in estap-
fishing a two-platoon with the
present number of men, rather
than letting the fire department
strike.
