i Fire-fighting facilities, a review of H the "city in general and the structural if JJ.I. -- J J- l-1o

in a general summary of conditions along the line of fire loss in the city which has been prepared by a board

of fir underwriters which recently

visited Richmond. The review of the general condition of the city in this regard states that

the improved streets are in good con

dition but that the others are oniy fair or In poor condition. It also says that weather and climatic conditions

here are somewhat unfavorable to the advance of loss by fire in that high winds, and hot, dry seasons are fre

quent. The number of fires is great but the loss per fire is low and the

per capita loss of life almost lnconfililprahln.

In commenting on the water supply as one of the chief fire-fighting facilities the report stated that the supply was privately owned and controlled but that it is in good condition. The nnlv fault to find with the department

itself was the fact that the ladder

.service and heavy stream appliances are deficient, that building inspections

are infrequent and the records incom

In criticising the fire alarm system ithe review eaya that the alarm boxes fhave some unreliable brush breaks, a inrnnsTiicuous. are not provided

In summarizing the fire-figbng fa'dUties. the report says that the departitoMt is fairly well equipped but weak

tin men; that the fire alarm system xs kinuHpmiatft and unreliable.

, Building laws are deficient here and . structural conditions are weak, accord

ing to the review. In regard to the lo

cal conditions wltn respect jo explosives and inflammables, the report says

that Richmond is fair to good although the laws are inadequate in some instances. In regard to electricity the report says that the new wiring is good but the old work is very poor and flays the overhead obseructions in the

alleys. .- Summarized Hazard. In summarizing the conflagration hazard the report says: "In the principal mercantile district, severe individual or group fires are probable in most blocks, but these should be confined to the block of origin or, extend only to portions of adjoining blocks. In manufacturing and minor mercantile districts, serious individual or group tires are probable. In the compactly built, shingle-roof, frame residential districts there is the usual flyingbrand hazard." The board made several recommendations to the local department and he city. They are enumerated as follows: That the platoon strength of hose companies one and three and engine company two and ladder one be increased to four men each; and that adequate provisions be made for requiring their response to fires when called. Want Training Provided " That a suitable drill tower and necessary equipment be provided, where members, especially new men, may re

ceive more effective training m tne appliances and tools, including the handling of hose on stairs, salvage work and life saving; these drills to be in charge of a competent officer, a graduate from a drill school. - That the reliability of service be Increased by placing circuits underground wherever possible, using rubber-insulated copper wire in lead

has broken out in Bavaria between

newly organized fascisti and socialists, according to unconfirmed dispatches

from Munich today. The socialists
