City Fire Loss Reduced

Voshell Report Shows More Calls But Less Damage Than in ’32; 3,478 Alarms Answered. BY WILLIAM H. M’GAUGHEY Times Staff Writer NO one perpetrated that old joke about burning down the school house to get Johnny out of the eighth grade. Neither were those persons active who are said to be “mean enough to burn down an orphan asylum.”

For in Indianapolis during 1933, city firemen put out fires in only one school and in one orphans’ heme. And so efficiently did they put out all other fires that the per capita loss in Indianapolis amounted to only $1.03, the lowest fire loss in recent years. Despite the rancor held towards many bankers during the past year, fire ravaged only one bank and no bankers. Even ice houses were less immune to fire than the financial institutions. In 1933, two ice houses and one ice plant suffered damages from flames. Breweries couldn’t stand the strain of quenching so many parched throats after the 3.2 was legalized and two of them caught fire, figures show. B B tt \ MONG other things, one airplane fire was extinguished and 418 automobile fires. Fourteen churches were damaged as was one dance hall, evidently indicating that flames show no moral discrimination. In spite of all the alleged hot air issued at fraternal elections, only one lodge hall felt the effects of fire. Hot news, perhaps, ac-

counted for fires in tw T o newspaper offices. Two billboards caught fire and flames were subdued in five theaters. The greatest cause of fires in Indianapolis during 1933 was flying sparks. Grass fires ranked second with 217. And mothers, look at this! Boys playing with matches caused eighteen fires. The mice did a little better, causing only ten. Lazy smokers were responsible for two fires when they lit cigarets in bed and forgot to put them out. Lightning may strike in the same place only once, but last year when it struck in twenty-eight places, it occasioned twenty-eight runs by the fire department. A cat on a pole caused another run by the fire department when it got up and couldn’t get down. An overheated doughnut mixer was the cause of one local fire; a janitor starting a furnace with gasoline caused another, but it was bigger than he bargained. Burning alcohol is listed the cause of a run by the firemen. Whether the alcohol was burning externally or internally was not revealed. When stove pipes tumbled, three fires resulted. Defective flues brought 128 fire calls. The month in which fire caused the greatest loss to property was February when there was a total loss of $63,123. September is the lowest fire loss month, statistics show. * a tt 'T'HE greatest number of alarms turned in during the month of December. In May the number of alarms fell off to only a few tinkles. In all, the department responded to 3,478 alarms in Indianapolis during 1933. This is an increase of 227 calls over 1932, Harry E. Voshell, fire chief, reports. The gross loss from fires amounted to $382,343 in 1933, which was a decrease of $52,333 over the previous year, the chief said. The average cost of the 1,116 actual fires amounted to $327.90 a fire. This is so small that the per capita loss amounts to only $1.03, Chief Voshell declares. City hall mathematicians have taken these figures to mean that if a taxpayer should ‘‘take in” all the actual fires in Indianapolis in one year, that it would cost him only .00088 cents a fire to “enjoy” them.

For Hard Coughs or Colds That Worry You Creomulsion is made to give supreme help for coughs or colds. It combines 7 helps in one—the best helps known to science. It is for quick relief, for safety. But careful people, more ana more, use it for every cough that starts. No one knows where a cough may lead. No one can tell which factor will do most. That depends on the type of cold. Creomulsion costs a little more than lesser helps. But it means the utmost help. And it costs you nothing if it fails to bring the quick relief you seek. Your druggist guarantees it. Use if for safety’s sake.— Advertisement.

CHARGE BANK’S FUNDS USED TO BOLSTER BONDS Attorneys for Depositors File New Report in Meyer-Kiser Case. Charges that Meyer-Kiser bank funds were used to bolster market I price of bonds of hopelessly insolvent realty companies are contained in report of attorneys for the bank’s depositors, submitted yesterday to Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox. Judge Cox refused to permit the 120-page report to be made public until he had perused it thoroughly. He said he expected to file it today with another report on the bank made a week ago by Alvah J. Rucker, special investigator named by the court. The Rucker report, together with affidavits, were submitted to Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson for action. The prosecutor refused to sign the affidavits, naming former bank officials, and turned the report over to the grand jury. The supplementary report submitted yesterday was prepared by Saul I. Rabb and William B. Milre, attorneys representing bank depositors. They charged that bank officials ‘‘manipulated and used the hardearned money of depositors to bolster and make fictitious values on Florida real estate and real estate elsewhere, and a close examination of che audit and assets of this bank will show that the bank lost money in every project of any size, but very little in Indianapolis real estate.” It is charged, further, that officers ‘‘spent the depositors’ money to advance moneys to defunct realty corporations so that fake dividends could be paid in order to keep up the price of the stocks and bonds of these realty companies, which were hopelessly insolvent and practically without value.” The report avers that officers and employes of the bank withdrew their own deposits a few days before the bank closed, leaving only insignificant deposits. The report stated that a majority of seventy-one depositors, permitted to make deposits the day the bank was closed by the state banking department, May 11, 1931, told depositors they were willing to sign affidavits against the bank’s former officers.

REGISTRATION FUNDS WILL BE ASKEDIN SUIT County Clerk Seeking to Mandate Auditor for Finances. Suit to mandate Charles A. Grossart. county auditor, to appropriate funds to finance the voters' registration in Marion county will be filed in circuit court today by County Clerk Glenn B. Ralstcn, Mr. Ralston announced yesterday. This action is necessary because the auditor is without funds with which to pay claims for the registration. Mr. Ralston explained. The county council recently ordered the money appropriated after the Indiana supreme court upheld a Marion superior court mandate. Fabian Biemer, chief deputy county auditor, explained, however, that the council order was without effect because there is no money in the treasury to meet registration obligations and that a court order is necessary before the auditor can take money to pay registration claims from funds already appropriated for other purposes.
