It was voted to have the group of underwriters, who have been working on the school in- suranoe question, attend the meet. ing. W, H. Woriey of the New England Exchange of Hartford was the first speaker introduced. He compliment- ed the New Britain board for its co-operation In helping with the ex- tre work made necemsary by the changed methed of rating. Mr. Wor- ley stated that the New Britain pub- lic, in general, has shown great in- terest in having improvements made and defects remedied. Members preasnt asked the speaker many questions dealing with their work. Barnes Schoal Construction First Deputy Fire Chief Eugene F. Barnes was the second speaker, “The New Britain fire department has sl the latest and best improve- ments in existence for fire fighting education in the way if fighting firea. ‘The local insurance companies are to be thanked for their co-operation ! in assisting the fire department in' getting the correct fire losses.” Mr, Barnes read the report of the New Britain fire department that will be sent to the national board of fire underwriters, He emphasized the fact that the exposure losses ‘were very low and amounted to enly $2,770. The direct losses totaled $99,966.33. The report is as follaws: Total value of property involved in fires, including buildings and con. tents, $1,669,935; total insurance, in- cluding buildings and contents, $1,. 380,050; total insurance loss, in- cluding buildings and contents, $91,- 626.38; total loss, insured and not insured, $102,736.33. ‘The number of buildings in New Britain s 12,860 1-2. This includes reinforced concrete, steel frame, fireproof, brick and stone, iron clad, frame and concrete block buildings. The fire department answered 390 calls during the year, of which 113 were for fires in frame buildings and 40 in bulldings built of brick and stone. The other 160 calls were for other than fires in bulldings. Only two fires extended to other buildings from the place they orig- inally started. This accounts fdr the small exposure loss. The depart- ment places the gopulation ef the city at 76,000 and the total area covered by the city at 13 1-3 mlles. Souney on Oil Barners Second Deputy Chiet Michael T. Souney spoke on oil burners. He stated that there is little trouble caused from the burners it they are left alone and not trifled with by NEW BRITAIN DAILY m FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928. who dees met understand The oil burners are inspected department and'.cannot be until Chief Souney has in- and approved them. When rs are made to the oil burners, the fire department would be willing to send & few men with extinguish- ere to eliminate sty possible blaze the oll which spreads around the cellar, he sald, He urged that people be caretul in using torches to thaw frpsen pipes. A hot kettle of water and » fow vagh wil do the work much bet- ter and will prevent the danger of & blase. Torches set fire to the wall and in many cases crack the pipes. In closing his talk Chief Souney urg- i the members of the board te ad- Jcaté passage of an ordinance re- quiring & painter must carry an ex- tinguisher when he does a painting job that requires a blow torch. Lucas Praises Firemen Noah Lacas, treasurer of the New Britain Savings bank was the last speaker intreduced. His spuech in part is as follows: “No business has grown so raplaty in the past few years as the insur- ance business. This has been caus- ed by the increased number of new bulldings that are being constructed and the increased cost of eonstruc- tion. New values are being placed on ol places. Speaking of the fire department, one should look at the fire losses throughout the entire country and then compare them with the losses in New Britain. The New Britain fire department -deserves praise for! its efficlent work. It is doing effi-! clent work, and nothing but - the highest praise can be accorded it. Mr. Dunn, the retiring president, was presented with a combination reading lamp and writing set at the board in appreciation of the work he accomplished. Thirty out of the 40 members were present at the banquet, MASH CLOGS SEWERS.
