NAVAL SUR-CHASER
FOR JACKSONVILLE
Board Of City Commissioners to Pur.
chase One for Use as
Fire Boat.

JACKSONVILLE, May 1.-The Jack
sonville board of city commissioners
has decided upon the purchase of q
naval sub chaser to be converted into
a fire boat for use on the river front
here and has appointed a commit Zee
composed of Commissioner Evans,
Fire Chief Thomas Haney and Coun-
Gilman John Callahan to inspect a
number of the vessels.
According to Letter to the commits
sion from A. NJ. Sheen, chief engineer
of the Southeastern Underwriters as
ISOLATION 1T Atlanta, the sub chaser is
considered the best type of boat for
this purpose. With the putting of IA
fire boat into service. Mr.. Sheen said,
a reduction of IS cents per 500 would
be made in insurance rates on all
wharves and piers along the water
front. on all other buildings within
500 feet Of the buikhead lines i re
ductior Of cents on rates will be
granted.
Although Mr.. Sheen said it would be
necessary to have crew of eight men
on the fire boat, the city would be re-
quired to keep only three men on board
continuously. using five members of
the IRE department TO iii out the
crew if the fire boat was called into
service to fight a blaze.
According to information furnished
by the navy, there are II sub -chasers
at Charleston, S. c., and three at New
Orleans, that the city could select
from and hundreds of them are avail
able at many yards on the Atlantic
coast While the prices average around
$4,000, it is believed a chaser can pe
bought at a much lower figure in ac-
cordance with the governments desire
to sell cha3crs for fire boats to mu-
inequalities at reduced figures.
