ONLY 10 FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ORDERTOCLEAN Reinspections by Fire Department Show Public Backs Prevention Plans. By LIS LA B. CHESLINE. Assistant State Fire Marshal. Several days ago the number of fires and the losses Incurred In the first six months of 1920 ana 1921 were given and it was shown that Indianapolis had 235 fewer fires with a decrease of $162,701.52 loss. Much credit is given the fire prevention bureau and the work of the Chamber of Commerce Fire Prevention Committee. That the people are becoming Interested and are cooperating, is the result of the activities of these departments. Men and women from all walks In life are daily reporting conditions in their neighborhood that they have learned to view as fire hazards. This sort of cooperation is appreciated, for then, the inspection is made and the orders issued with the result the hazard is removed and the community is made safe. From June 6 to June 12 the fire inspectors made 329 reinspections of property where thirty-day orders had been issued. When we know that only ten orders were not complied with, making it necessary to file affidavits against the occupant, we are of the opinion that the majority of the geopie are willing to help reduce the number of fires when they are rnado to realize the seriousness of their negligence or carelessness. In December, 1919, the common council of the city of Indianapolis passed General Ordinance No. 120, by which the fire prevention bureau was created. This ordinance Is composed of eleven sections, setting forth the duties of the bureau and of the citizens in reference to the same. Section 10 says: "Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall upon conviction, be fined in any sum not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200.00) to which may be added imprisonment not to exceed ninety (90) days.” The use of this extreme measure is necessary only in the minority of cases, but as ignorance of the law does not excuse one, we submit this for the in. formation of the possible offender. A good showing was made for the first six mouths but we want to do even better for the last six months of the year. In the last half of 1920 there were 1,506 fires, wo should cut that number at least In half for the remaining months of 1921. Let us watch ourselves and our neighbors. It is wrong to think the entire matter is in the hands of the fire department or the insurance companies. Tbey are your servants, but the extent to which you need them rests largely with you. Indianapolis is wanting lower Insurance rates and to this end the city departments have contributed much. The city tiro department has completely motorized, a double platoon system has been Installed, Battalion Chief Fulmer is conducting a drill school for the firemen, the council has passed the anti shingle roof ordinance and has appropriated $2,500 to be used in carrying out the program of fire prevention education for the people of the city. All this tends toward advancing the city from fourth class to second class rating. Frank C. Jordan o( the fire prevention committee, Jacob F Hilkene chief of the fire prevention bureau and Fire Chief John C. Loucks join in asking the full cooperation of the people so that v\e may reduce the number of fires for the last six months of 1921 and soon receive the lower rate of Insurance, whil we assist In making Indianapolis safe healthful and beautiful.
