Fire Record For
Present Year.

Thibodaux's fire record for
the year 1922 is one hat speaks
for itself, and is one which
should commend itself TO the
Louisiana Fire Prevention Ru-
Teau and to the State Fire Mar
shall. The estimated losses are
not the minimum in any one
case, but the greatest possible
loss is taken SO as to make the
same absolutely correct. Chief
Charles RiViere and the writer
compared notes and losses and
we are absolutely agreed, and
the report herewith will be that
of the chiefs report.
There were thirteen fires dur
ing the year up to Thursday of
this week, when this report was
written. The total losses were
at the most $500 while there
were thirteen fires, or so called
flres there were actually only ele-
ven alarms turned in, two fires
beng attended to without the
necessity of an alarm, some COM
Dany being telephoned to

the blaze.
Analyzing the record, there
were no fires in January, 2 in
February; 4 in March, one in
June, two in September, one in

If you are suffering from eczema or
