PREVENTION OF
fire DISCUSSED
BY ABLE SPEAKER
INTERESTING MEETING OF CON-
SERVATioN COMMITTEE WITH
LOCAL CITIZENS TODAY.
FIRE UNDERWRITERS PRESENT
Meeting Presided Over by Mayor w.
o. Cherry-F. H. Warren Makes a
Strong Plea Against careIessness.
Urges Electrical Inspector.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald. J

From Tuesdays Daily Herald,)
To discuss the prevention of So
called useless fires a committee of
the Conservation and Fire Prevention
Association of Tennessee met at II
O'Clock this morning with the board
Of mayor and aldermen, heads of the
several civic and commercial organiza-
tons and board of fire underwriters
at the city hall.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor w. o. Cherry. The first speak
er was James X. Polk, of Nashville,
chairman of the fire prevention com
mittee of the state. After a few brief
Introductory remarks Mr.. Polk intro
duced F. H. Warren, of the National
Fire Prevention Association, who
made most interesting talk upon the
subject Of fire prevention
Mr.. Warren declared that the Amer
lean people are the most careless on
earth, and that fully seventy-five per
cent of the fires in the United States
are due to this cause. He told of the
success the National Board of Fire
Prevention met with during the war,
when it had a right to order fire haz-
ards moved.
He said the present intention of the
Tennessee Fire Prevention Bureau is
to make careful inspection of all
risks in each town and state, and to
cali the defects to the attention OF
the proper authorities so that they
might be removed.
Attention was called to the recent
publication of Columbia's defects, and
suggestions as to how these defects
might be removed or remedied. 1t is
the purpose of the association, said
the speaker, to have these defects re-
declared that the mission of the asso-
citation was friendly, and that it sought
to cooperate with state and municipal
authorities in cutting down the num-
Der of useless fires.
He declared that if the useless fires
could be eliminated, the association
could cope with the incendiary haz-
card. Mr.. Warren said that Americas
annual fire loss for the past twenty
five or thirty years had been running
between 250,O00,OO0 and 100000 600,
or nearly $500 per minute He declar-
ed that five American schools are
burned each day, and all of these fires
are largely due to carelessness. The
speaker said it is high time that the
American people We're educated to
fight the fire peril.
In conclusion Mr. Warren urged that
the city should provide competent
electrical inspector, to approve every
electrical job installed and in this
manner greatly reduce the fire risk
from defective wiring.
Mr.. Warrens talk was followed by
a general discussion, and it is expect,
ed that as result general clean up
of Columbia houses in the fire district
will be ordered.

MEMBERS OF COUNTY COUNCIL
RATlFY CONSTITUTION OF
STATE FEDERATION.
Resolutions Formally Entering the
State Organization Expected to Be
Adopted by the Directors at Regu-
lar Meeting Saturday.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald J

Nfiobi Ddlty
Ninety,eight of the members of
the county council of agriculture vot
ed for the ratification of the consti-
tuition of the Tennessee Farm Bureau
Federation organized last summer at
Nashville. OF the 100 votes that were
cast in the mail referendum no less
than ninety eight voted to enter the
state organization. Just two voted
NO"
1t was an overwhelming approval
for the organization that Joe Frank
Porter. president of the local coun-
Gil, had such prominent part in
forming. Mr.. Porter was elected the
temporary president of the organiza-
tion and that fact no doubt had it's
weight with many members as they
naturally voted to approve a fedora
ton that their president approved. 1t
was in a way tribute to Mr.. Porter.
The votes were canvassed Monday
| by j. l. Finney, chairman of the com
mittee on returns. The canvass was
delayed week in order to receive
an additional supply of the state con
stitutiOns to send to the members
Considering the fact that there was
little to excite interest the vote polled
was thoroughly representative of the
council
The report on the constitution will
be reported to the directors on Satur
day and resolution to enter the state
federation will be formally adopted
and Maury county will be one of the
! first councils of the state to formal,
join the state organization.
There will be vast amount of bust
ness to be disposed of at the meetins
of the council directors on Saturday
The committee on revision of, the con
stitution to provide for a differen
method of electing the directors will
report. 1t is likely that the commit
tee will report on plan to have on,
director from each of the civil district
Of the county and eleven at large. Ii
this way it is hoped to have bette
distribution of the directors. At pres
cnt the fifth and ninth have MAORI,
