FIRE PREVENTION TO
AID IN FIRE FIGHTING
Council to Aid Efforts of De-
partment of Public
Safety.

Fire prevention for Wilmington will
be taken up by City Council. The
matter has been under consideration
by the Public Safety Directors ever
since they had charge of reorganizing
the fire department and reached a
head when they held a conference with
the Street and Sewer Department and
City Solicitor, and the members of the
fire committee of Council recently 10
decide on a ruling concerning the in
stalla ton Of gasoline tanks under the
sidewalks
Out of this conference grew the plan
to have ordinances drawn up agree
able TO the above departments and
passed by City Council. The ordi-
nances would compel property owners
TO eliminate. as far as possible, fire
hazards in their buildings-by pre-
venting the accumulation OF rubbish
in cellars or storehouses: keeping such
places clean by eliminating, as far as
possible, everything that win cause a
fire from matches and cigarettes
thrown carelessly about: also pro
vidinc for the careful insulation of
electric light wires. These precau-
tons, il is held. would reduce TO a
minimum the fire hazard Provision
for proper exits in case OF fire and for
adequate sprinkling systems in fac
tories are other means of prevention.
The great difficulty At the present
time in Wilmington is the lack Of
adequate laws which require owners
and tenants of buildings to clean up
ana keep clean. Examination of the
Jaws has revealed that they are in
adequate TO protect owners Of build
ings. The threatened Increase in in
surance rates has caused agitation
Tor stricter laws.

Urxes Assurance on Taxation.


..The proper mental state of our
people will commit us resointcly and
confidently to our tasks, and definite
a assurances as 10 taxation and ex-
panditure will contribute to that help
ful mental order. The only sure way
TO normaicy Is over the paths nature
has marked throughout all human
experience.
With the approval Of Congress the
executive branch of Government
has been drifting toward that de-
cre-a sed expenditure which is the most
practical assurance of diminished tax
alton. With enthusiastic resolution
your administrative agents are max
ing not only conscientious effort to
reduce the call for appropriations, but
to reduce the cost OF government far
below the appropriations you have
already provided.
"It is easy TO believe that the only
way to diminish the burdens which
the people must pay is TO cut the
outlay in which the public moneys are
expended. War is not wholly re-
sponsible for staggering costs; IL has
merely accentuated the menace which
lies in mounting cost OF government
and exo~~ses in expenditure which a
successful private business would not
tolerate.
II can make rou no definite promise
in figures today. but | can pledge
you a most conscientious drive TO re-
duce government cost by many
millions 1t would be most disoour-
aging TO those VINO are bending their
energies 10 save millions 10 have Con-
sress add billions to our burdens at
the very beginning.
Even were there not the threatened
paralysis Of our Treasury, with its
fatal ref1cxes on all our activities
which concern our prosperity, would
il not be better 10 await the settle
ment of our foreign loans? As such
time il would be a bestowal on the
unable 10 bestow.
The United States participate In
none Of the distributable awards Of
war, but the world owes us heavily,
and viii pay when restoration Is

the world restoration is possible. but
only with honest. diligent work in
rODucuylty on the one hand, and
honest and diligent opposition to

If the suggested recornmitment Of
this measure bore the merest sug-
gestion Of neglect or a hint of national
IngratItude / would not urge il. II
has been my privilege TO speak to
Congress on our obligations 10 the
disa bled and dependent soldiers and
the Governments deep desire to prove
its concerns for their welfare
should be ashamed of the Republic

Neither armistice nor permanent

no obligation which it does not In
tend to meet. No Government fiat
will pay our bills. The exchanges of
the world testify today to that err
roneous theory. We may rely on
the sacrifices of patriotism in war.
but today we face markets and the
effects OF supply and demand and the
inexorable laws of credits in time of
peace.
AT the very moment we are OBJ
liged to pay 5& per cent interest for
Government short-time loans to care
for our floating indebtedness, a rate
on Government borrowing. in spite of
tax exemption, which ought TO pre-
vail in private transactions for the
normal interest charges in financing
our industry and commerce. Definite
obligations amounting TO seven and a
half billions in war savings certifi-
Gates, Victory Bonds and certificates
covering floating indebtedness are to
mature in the two years Immediately
following, and the overburdening of
the Treasury now means positive dis
aster in the years Immediately before
MS. Merest prudence calls out in
warning.
"Our greatest necessity Is a return
to the normal ways of peace activi-
ties. A modest offering to the mil
lions of service men In a poor pallia-
tive to more millions who may be out
of employment. Stabilized finance
and well established confidence are
both essential to restored industry
and commerce.
THE slump which is now upon us
is an inevitable part of wars after
math. It has followed in the wake
of war since the world began. There
was the unavoidable readiustment,
the inevitable charge off, the unfail-
ing attendance of losses in the wake
of high prices. the inexorable defla-
ton which imitation had preceded. II
has been wholly proper to seek 10 ap-
ply Government relief to minimize the
hardships, and the Government has
aided wherever possible. and is aiding

ever conceived, viii not avoid all the
tfistresses nor ward Oft all the losses.
