these days when democracy is on trial.

receive help and cooperation, and thai
was the Volunteer Firemen's Asso.

81 called upon your chief, and
wish publicly to testify to the splen.
did cooperation extended by the Vol
unteer Firemen of Maryland. have
been gratified beyond measure to
find such large body of public spir-
tied, unselfish and enlightened citi-
zens who are willing to give their
time, their money, and even to risk
their lives for the public good.
81 have held many conferences at
the State Insurance Commissioners
Office with the representatives and
members of the Volunteer Firemen's
Association. Present at some of those
conferences, in addition to many fire
men, were Mr.. J. w. Just and Mr.. Cur
tbs c. Larrimore, of the College of
Engineering, University of Maryland;
representatives of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters Mr.. P. w. Bow
en-, representative insurance man of
Baltimore, and other prominent men
of Maryland.
GAS result of these conferences,
it was determined to organize along
four definite lines:
First. A statewide inspection of
public buildings, these buildings to be
divided into three classes: Institutions
owned and operated by the State; in
situations owned and operated by
Counties, towns an municipalities; and
buildings owned and operated by pri-
vate individuals coming within the
terms of the statute.
Second. A State Wide campaign of
public education in fire prevention
through schools, public organizations
and associations.
Third. Thorough investigation of
all fires of suspicious origin, and in
cases where arson is indicated, a Wig
orous prosecution of the guilty par
ties.
Fourth. Particularly to carry out
the terms of the law in respect to the
storage, use, manufacture, sale, hand
ling, transportation, or other DISPOSE

from all over the State, who then
will be graded by Mr.. Just and his
assistants after an examination. Sc
lection of Deputy Fire Marshals, to
cooperate with the Insurance Commits
sioner's Office in the matter of inspec-
ton of all public buildings through
out the State, will be made from the
list of those successfully completing
the two-day course.
Before leaving Ocean City for their
homes, several scores of firemen had
registered for the course, and many
additional names are expected to be
added to the list before the course
opens on August II.
Speaking before a crowded session
of the Convention, Mr.. Centrum out
lined his plan to cooperate with the
Volunteer Firemen of Maryland in
carrying out the provisions of the
law. He reviewed the law, setting
forth the powers of the Insurance
Commissioner to make and promul-
gate uniform regulations for the
keeping, storage, use, manufacture,
sale, handling, transportation or other
disposition of highly flammable ma
terials, and to prescribe the materials
and construction of receptacles and
buildings to be used for any of the
said purposes. Mr.. Centrum further
stated that under the law he had
power to deputize members of any
volunteer fire department duly organ
lied and operating in this State to
act as his deputies for the purpose of
making such inspections and investi-
cations and carrying out such orders
as may be prescribed by him. Under
his plan Deputy Marshals would be
created from the ranks of Volunteer
Firemen, who would be charged with
the duty of inspecting all public build
ings and recommending measures for
the correction of any conditions found
to be hazardous to safety. He called
attention to the fact that the Legis-
lature, as a result of necessary econ
omy, had not appropriated any money
for the appointment Of a Deputy to
act as Fire Marshal, but that he in
tended to carry out the law neverthe-
less, with the aid of Volunteer fire
men.
when first took office" Mr.. Con-
trum told his audience, 'atnd re-read
the law pertaining to the duties of
the Fire Marshal and the responsible
ties placed upon the Insurance Com
missioner as a result of these laws,

knowledge, public spirit and true
patriotism, and we need only to turn
on the faucet to have the splendid
abilities of thousands of men run into
the channel of constructive public
service. The firemen have demon
strated in the past that they are will
ing to give their time, services and
their knowledge, even risk their lives
on behalf of the public, and are now
willing to do even more in the future
than they have in the past.
GAS the Governor declared in his
Inaugural address, Frequently the
best politics is no politics at all -,
Mr.. Centrum declared, 'and in this
mater there will be no politics whatso-
ever, either State politics, or firemen
politics. We are interested in pro-
tecting property and saving human
lives, and the only consideration that
will influence the State Insurance De-
partmeift is the highest public inter-

or flammable fluids or compounds,
tablets, torpedoes or any explosive
of like nature, or any other explos-
ives, including fireworks and fire
crackers.
Before any definite action, how
ever, can be taken in carrying into
effect the general plans as outlined,
it is necessary to have prepared set
of regulations. These regulations
and rules Mr.. Just has kindly con-
sented to prepare. They are as fol-
lows:
1. Regulations governing the hand
ling, use and storage of flammable
liquids, and handling, storage, sale and
use of all explosives, including fire
crackers and other fireworks;
2. Regulations pertaining to fire es-
capes, exits on public buildings, in
