Mayor George A. Quigley called the meeting to order and acted as pre- siding officer. The mayor explained the purpose of Fire Prevention day, saying Governor Holcomb had set aside October 8, for the day and he believed it the duty of civic and po- litical bodies to co-operate. The mayor reviewed what had been done to reduce the' fire hazard in this city, fire zone and the prohibition of the erection of buildings which would increase the risk of fire. The -fire loss per capita here for the past year was sixty-three cents and the cost of maintaining the first department is about $1 per capita. In the United States first loss per capita is $2.25 per annum in comparison to twentiy cents per capita in Europe. Dwight A. Parsons, representing the | Fire Underwriters association, ex- plained the rates of insurance in New Britain, He said he has seen evi- dences dally of negligence, and care- lessness. Fires are caused by gas stoves, men smoking in bed, wrapping stove pipes with greasy rags, etc., Serious fires are a rarity in this city. He said an acquaintance of his went Tooking for a gas leak with a lighted match and found it. Grease boiling over on stoves Is a common cause of fires, he said. Mr. Parsons has requested the li- brary to install a book on fire pre- vention by former Chief Crocker of New York city. In connection, he rec- ommended that the public use great- er care W. L. Hatch, a prominent under- writer, said a parade of the fire de- partment and school children had been a feature of Fire Prevention day in other cities. Spcakers at evening gatherings could also be employed, he said. Mr. Hatch paid a tribute to the fire department here, which, though not large, is efficient. The great damage lies in care and not al- lowing a fire to start. F. H. Alford, andéther prominent insurance man, suggested the im- portance of every householder going through the house examining furnace and stove pipes and cleaning chim- neys. He believed this would be of greater value than parades. “It's up to every house owner to see his own property is safe,” saja Mr. Alford. Mr. Hatch replied he did not he- lieve a parade would be of any great value except in as much as it im- presses the need of care on the pud- lic and Mr. Alford quickly asserted that he had not meant to throw cold water on the parade feature. Ex-Representative. E. W. Schultz expressed the opinion. that two . fire prevention days annually would be profitable to the city. He also be- lieved a campaign of education should be carried on among the school chil- dren. “Some plan should be formed by this committee for a general clean-up day,” said Mr, Schultz, “and we want to plan quickly as October 8 is not far away- I believe we should have an expert on the matter come here to speak to us.” Mayor Quigley said Chamber of Commerce, first under- writers, and school children should co-operate. Chief Dame suggestedl the mayor said, that the childron should be shown how to ring in an alarm for fire. The mayor confessed that he was a wee bit foggy himself as to how to ring in an alarm. George J. Macauley. chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee, said he could see the great need of a fire prevention day in New Britain. He recommended that greater care be exercised for the prevention of fires in stables. Very few precautions are taken in them, he believed. He said defective chimneys are also responsi- ble for many firess He recommended that committees be appointed to over- see the work in sections of the city. Councilman V, B. Chamberlain suggested that Mayor Quigley ap- point sub-committees on clean-up and education. He. considered the large committee to be unwieldy. Superintendent Holmes assured those present that the schools were prepared to do their utmost to fur- ther the success of flre prevention day. He said the school principals would be greatly aided by the active assistance of men who have had ac- tual experience along this line. He suggested that fire prevention day be made the opening of a week’'s cam- paign and suggested that the Parents’ and Teachers' associations might co- operate. Chairman E. B. Alling of the board of public safety offered the co-opera- tion of the fire department for a par- ade or in any other manner thought advisable. He endorsed the idea of teaching school children how to ring in an alarm for fire. On motion of Mr. Alford, amended by Councilman Chamberlain, Mayor Quigley was authorized ' to appoint sub-committees on a ‘clean-un and education and publicity; Mr. Macau~ ley wanted each member of the com- mittee equipped with a badgé.
