IN MOST INSTANCES cAus-
ES OF FIRE ARE AVOID.
ABLE

Since Saturday there have been
II alarms Of fire which called for
apparatus being sent to different
sections OF the city and In most
every instance the cause of the
fire was pronounced as avoidsble.
Four of the calls were from
Catherine street; one from Unit
ed street; one from South Street;
two from Flagler avenue: one
from Virginia street: one from
the golf course: and from Semi
nary street, and this afternoon at
1:20 the call came from Box Us.
Olivia and Simonton streets.
The fire on Catherine Street
Saturday night, was considered
dangerous. as IL was IN a thickly
settled portion of the city, and
the. same can be said Of the fire
on Seminary street and the golf
course While the latter fire was
not in thickly settled part of the
county. it was near a group Of
buildings and had not the depart
ment been on the alert. could
have resulted in heavy loss.
Only one of the IL blazes was
caused by other than grass. and
this was caused BY a blazing mat
tress. which was removed from
the home before any damage en-
sued
The ether II fires, or st least
most Of them, was caused by the
carelessness of persons. and il is
firmly believed that some of them
were of incendiary origin. Watch
men have been placed at differ
ent points to intercept the fire.
