WAR On FIRES
BEGAN IN 1855

According to a representative OF the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters
this year is the 256th anniversary OF
the birth Of organized fire fighting,
which has been traced through the
centuries by the National Board to
ascertain the rapidly OF development
from the inception Of the feasibility
OF the introduction Of such protection.
The first organized fre-fighting or
ganiZation is credited to have been
established on Sept. 2, 1866, at Pudding
Lane, in the heart of old London, fol
lowing a disastrous confiagration that
wiped out 1876 acres Of closely built
dwellings and store rooms.
Rise of Insurance
Modern fire insurance is said to
date from this time also, as soon after
the great confiagration Nicholas Bar
bon formed a company to insure prop
erty against such disasters. Later this
company organized and supported a fire
company to protect insured buildings.
which were designated by a house
plate.
Other companies formed rapidly.
the members being known as water
men" Each brigade restricted its
service to fires originating in or
spreading to property insured by the
company supporting it Such bril-
gades responding to the alarm OF the
towncrier were able to identify com
pany property by platest on the front
of dwellings and store rooms on which
was painted ''fire-marks."
This policy became so fixed that
finally men of brigades not interested.
If they happened to arrive first on the
scene, would step back to await the
coming of the proper brigade, allowing
the property to burn.
These brigades became very skill
full in extinguishing fires. considering
their limited equipment and facilities.
At first this equipment consisted of a
few lengths Of stout hempen rope, an
assortment Of iron hooks and some
leather bags and axes.
Hand Pumps Appear
Hand pumps and awkward syringes
for spraying the flames soon appeared,
which were the prototypes of modern
pumping engines and connected hose
The flexible hose manufactured from
leather, which was the invention of
the Van de Heyde brothers Of Ans
terdam, appeared after 1850.
Difficulty was experienced when the
insurance companies talked Of merg-
ing the brigades. as members Of vari-
Gus outfits were jealous of their repu-
tation and Of the distinction which
they had earned. However, in 1925,
three companies merged their respec-
tive brigades and others joined later.
Within seven years they were all
united under the head Of the London
Fire Engine establishment, which con
tinued until 1866. At this time the
municipality took over entire control.

said, until the coast was clear.
Baldwin acted as if he was going

Accounts Board Charges of
IIIegaIity Meet With
Denial.

Charges against members Of the
former board of school commissioners
filed by the State board of accounts
yesterday We're branded as a frame

at looks like Barry and Twiname
are behind it," Commissioner Gadd
said.
Walter j. Twiname, formerly &C
coUntant for the State board of &C
counts, now is business director Of
the board. It is generally believed
that he Will be replaced in the near
future.
Old Fight Recalled
''It is the old Twiname matter over
again" Mrs Tutewiler said. Ever
since we refused to employ his father
as superintendent Of buildings and
grounds we have been in trouble
with the State board of accounts"
IT opposed the employment of Roney
and of Charles ]. Orbison as attorney
from the first" Commissioner Barry
said. There was no need Of the i'm
vestigation Of the books. The expen-
diture Of the money was not justified
and I also opposed payment for their
services
VIII Hold Meeting
Clarence E. Crippin said several
members of the old board probably
would hold a meeting soon to de
termine what course Of action to take.
1--WE feel sure We were within our
rights in anything we did" he said.
Rooney was employed to examine the
books Of the school city after IL had
been claimed by majority OF board
members that George Hit. then bust
ness director. and George H. Rickes,
superintendent of buildings and
grounds, had done things without OBJ
tanning proper authorization Of the
board.

tor the efhclent cOnduet OF the
Government. If the tax reduc-
ton program goes through dur
ing the present session of Con-
gress, it will not be because the
Republicans put it through. At
the present moment its opponents
number as many Republicans as
they do Democrats. President
Coolidge may urge the Mellon
plan upon Congress, but his appeal
must be to Congress as whole
and not to his Republican adher-
ents. Those who support it will
go into the next campaign on their
personal record as conservers of
the public welfare, as the support
ers Of measure that has no more
to do with the respective policies
Of the Republican and Democratic
parties than has voting the salaries
of ambassadors. Tax reduction is
not a party matter and he who
tries to make anyone believe It is,
shows himself neither a good par
tisan nor q worthy public repre-
sentative.
