This Is one campaign in which the

Such was the declaration Of Edward
II. White. president OF the Conserva-
ton and Fire Prevention Society. OF
Maryiend, Delaware and District OF CO.
lumbia, today. while discussing the in
spection to be started In this city next
Tuesday morning. under the auspices

rest of the country was the ls,lara-
t.un. OF Mr.. White. In saying III = Q
ssmpsign Is planned % eventually

White commended Wllmlngtonians for
the splendid manner in which the
campaign is being received by the peo-
pie OF the city. saying that from his
observations the work Is beng re-
ccived In commendsble style by
everyone.
The loss resulting from flres piles up
on the heads OF everyone and during
the year 1918 arose TO s2.6S per capita
for the United Stltes. BY States, he
said, D. lsware is the third highest with
a per capita loss Of s458 The States OF
Minnesota and New Jersey have a
greater per capita loss than Delaware.
In Rhode Island, ne said. the loss Is
SO 81, while In Pennsylvania Il Is but
50 IS. During the past year. he said, the
FIRE loss for the country reached $780,
100000 property loss and the loss OF 49,
200 lives.
In the inspection to be made by a
number OF inspectors and engineers
next week, general conditions are TO be
Investigated, such as the care OF rub
bIsh and ashes, and the condition or
business places, particularly In the rear
areas, where packing cases and crates
are a great source OF danger. The In
spection Is for the purpose OF calling
everyone's attention TO improve the
present condition. IL Is the plan to
point out conditions existing. which II
remedied. will stop the fire hazard that
much A little store or dwelling In a re-
mote section may be as good start as
building In the heart OF the business
section. was the standpoint taken by
Mr.. White.
II is the plan for the inspectors 10 go
through The city thoroughly and make
recommendation for the Improvement
OF conditions. II is hoped 10 secure CO.
operation and to point out to the peo-
pie OF Wilmington some Of the things
that are being done unlntentional. and
which greatly increase the fire hazard.
Mr.. White urged great care in the
use OF cleanliness and added that he
hoped that when the campaign is over
that 4 would not be forgotten. but
hoped that the cleanliness achieved
would b. maintained.
wilmington has outgrown the vol
unteer fire department system and the
city is entirely too large for such a
system" was a point Mr.. White dis
cussed. adding that Wilmington IS
growing rapidly and getting away from

IL provided that the Assessment Board

seemed to be an unwarranted reflection
upon the present board.
I'm opposing House Bill 67. providing
that railroads should provide drinking
water In each car. IL was felt that the
matter had better be left to the rail-
roads themselves, believing that no
such legislation was necessary 10 com
pei the railroads to provide for the COM
fort OF their passengers. The present
regulation under which drinking wa
ter was removed from the cars was

carrier for delay In transportation or

felt that Il would be impossible to To-
cate the cause and responsibility for
the delay and would simply add an un-
enforcible law 10, our statute books,
and that the act is so ambiguous that It
would be Impossible to interpret IL.
I'm opposing House Bill Is, providing
for a lien on motors. etc., for supplies

that this bin simply provides means
whereby the State will be made col

that ground.
ITS opposition to House Bill 70. an

due to the fact that the provisions pro-
posed in this act are already law OF
