FIRE MARSHAL
HERE YESTERDAY
FLEET CORPORATION, IN
SPECTS LOCAL YARDS.

Fire Marshal J. B. Cummins, of this
district of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, visited the shipyards in
Brunswick yesterday on a tour Of in
spection to see if his recent request
for better protection had been carried
out. The marshal visited this place
several weeks ago and made request
for sweeping changes in the fire pro
lection in the city, including the re
quest that each local yard place a
marshal in their yards who should
form fire companies from among the
employees and hold fire drills as. often
as he thought it necessary, but at least
once a week. 1t could not be learned
last night whether or not the vari-
Gus shipyards have carried out the re
quest of the marshal, but it is presum
ed that they have. Mr. Cummins will
make regular trips to Brunswick and
as the Government has appointed him
to see that the shipyards have ample
protection from fire it can be stated
as a certainty that he will see that his
requests are carried out Mr.. Cummins
is very much impressed with the in
dustrial progress being made in
Brunswick and sincerely believes that
this is coming seaport of the coun-
try as well as a great shipbuilding
center

FIRE INSURANCE
RATES INCREASED
LOCAL COMPANIES ARE CON-
PEELED TO MAKE ADVANCE
IN CHARGES.

In line with action taken in other
ance companies operating in Bruins
wick have made an advance of 10 per
cent in rates on all classes which were
not included in the increase of last
summer. The advance is in the ma
ture of war emergency charge, made
necessary by abnormal conditions aris.
ing on account of the present war. The
increased charge is made only to meet
the demands created by present con-
ditions and will not last beyond their
tive at once.
In 1917 the fire incurance companies
in the South were compelled, in order
to meet increasing expenses and losses
to advance the rates on certain un
profitable classes of risks. The com
panies claim continued growth of such
expenses and losses has demonstrated
that increased revenue from othe~
lines is required to meet the abnor-
NAL conditions produced by the war
classes of insurance not advanced last
year to meet, in part, these increas
ed and growing expenses is necessary
According to the statement of the
companies, the rates on these classes
of property are no higher now that in
1914. Sinre that date the expenses of
conducting the fire insurance business
have increased enormously The com
panies announce that increased sala
ries on account of the higher cost O.,
living, travelling expenses of neces-
sary representatives cost Of station
cry, supplies and postage, as we'll as
the heavy increase in taxtaion, have
raised the percentage of expense on
all items from per cent on some to
more than 100 per cent on others.
The companies claim that another
itec of outgo-perhaps the most i'm
portant of all-is the increased cost
of replacement, due to the advance in
cost of materials and labor, which IS
said to have increased more than sc
per cent as compared with one year
ago. The large majority of fire losses
are partial losses, requiring replace
ment or repairs.
The increased war taxation on cap
ital stock corporation income and
premiums will absorb, so the com
panies announce, the greater part of
the income from premiums, which
heretofore has supplemented defcien.
cies from premiums.
The changed conditions have been
recognized in all other kinds of busi.
ness by increased prices, so the insur-
ance companies point out

Some Colored Registrants Come From

Did you ever have real hard prop

Well, that is just exactly what the
local exemption board has been up
against since Friday night They had
sent out notices to 55 colored regis
trants to present to entrain for Camp
Gordon early Saturday morning. Some
of the registrants came from quite a
distance thinking that they would be

ed to bring any money with them. Be-
fore the registrants could be notified
that they would not be needed until
Wednesday afternoon the local board
received orders to hold the men until
Thursday morning. AS result the
board has had to provide for the men
until that time. Some wanted to go
back home until Wednesday afternoon
but had no money and the local board

kind and the local board soon found
enough of willing ones to take care of
them, however, the matter kept the
board busy until late last night.
