URGES CAUTION
AGAINST FIRE
State Fire Marshal Roe Issues Letters
to Mayors and Fire Chiefs
to Safeguard
Property.

! State Fire Marshal Ole o. Roe has
just issued letter to fire chiefs and
| mayors of towns and also to township
clerks, urging them to extraordinary
effort in the matter of safeguarding
property and especially foodstuffs
against fire.
In contemplation OF law says Mr..
Roe in his letter to these officials,
you are constituted fire wardens of
your community. AS such you can
render patriotic service to our coun-
try by encouraging every effort to
safeguard the food supply Of our
state"
According to statement in re-
Washington, the increase in elevator
fires throughout the entire country,
since the beginning of the war,
amounts to 400 per cent
This Is not the case in Iowa. Mr..
Roe says There were fifteen ele-
vator fires in the state in 1916 and
only nineteen in 1917. There were
several fires destroying elevators
and flour mills in the early part Of
1917 However, we availed ourselves
of an offer of the insurance COM
panies to supply us with inspectors,
without any charge to the state, and
as a result q campaign Of inspection
was put on which was followed by
the issuing from this office Of some
1900 orders to owners Of property,
particularly those owning elevators
and places where foodstuffs We're
stored. asking them to clean up and
to take all possible precautions, to
guard against fire. After that time
very few reports of elevator fires
reached the department"
