HOW TO PREVENT FIRES FROM THE RECKLESS USE OF MATCHES AND INFLAMMABLE OILS— ANNUAL ELECTION OF OFFICERS, The National Board of Fire Underwriters re- sumed tts ion yesterday morning, Mr. Heury A. Oakley m the chair, The attendance was very large, including representatives of all the leading companies throughout the couatry, and the room was densely crowded, Mr. W. H, Ross read @ report on the origin of fires, paten(s and gas machines. The report says, in speaking oF FIRES CAUSED BY MATCHES: “In the report showing the origin of fires inthe city of New York for the year 1872 the whole num- ber of fires reporied was 1,396. Of this number 459, or neariy one-third, were traced to friction matches, Undoubtedly the safesto! ail are woso that require to ve brought im contact with @ spe- cially prepared substance to produce ignition, Such matches are made and imported from Swe- den. Their manufacture has been attempted in this country, but, as tney cost atrife more than those of more dangerous character, ihe en- deavor to introduce them has not yet proved a success, simply because the average citi- zeu considers cheapness of more conse- quence tnan safety, so long as under- writers costinue to insure and pay. A little ‘moral saasion,’ in the shape of increased cost of insurance, Would, In the judgment of your com- mittee, exert @ salutary influence im caliing at- tention co tais@anger, and would resuit in driv- ing a large portion of these hazardous articles outof use. We wonld suggest that the Execu- tive Committee be requested, or, if thought best, instracted to irame and put im force suca pros- | pective regalations as would eventually eradicate | the evil.” Tne report, in alluding to DANGER FROM OILa, says:—‘“The question to be solved ts, What rem- | eay 1s there within the power of the underwriter toapply? We unhesitatingly recommended that asthe form of policy adopted by this Board dis- tinctly prohibits the Keeping or using, 1 » form or in any quantity, of either of the lighter prod- Ucts of earth oils, no privilege shall be granted Jor euch use or keeping, except under sucu regu- lations and im such form as may be adopted oy this Board or tts Executive Committee, This recommendation is Dot so arbitrary or unjust as the owners of such property might ceclare it. The storave of gunpowder in quantity is pro- hibited by muuictpal authority. No man for & moment doubts the propriety or justice of such prohibition; yet fire must be brougat in contact with gunpowder to produce | explosion; but the vapor of these liguter prod- | ucts of coal oll escapes and sometimes reaches | the fire at a distance of several feet, causing igni- tion or explosion where gunpowder would have been barmiess, In regard to kerosene oll the remedy 18 not so simple. While the legal restric- tion establishing a standard by the Unitea States government iudicts a penaity, it fails to eniorce an inspeciion. Uniess suca tnspection is com- | pelled by State, township or municipal reg tions, and sustained by public opinion, the gov- ernment standard is valueless fur protection to life and property. There is also some ambiguity iu the United States law in regard to the actual standard of safety. Doubtless it was the inten- | tion of the law to establish 110 degrees as the flashing point, or the degree of temperature below which the oll should not give of an inflammable vapor; but lt has been sometimes treated as the | burning point of the oil ttseif, This would reduce tne dashing point below 10v degrees, and at lease twenty degrees below the sase limit.” | THE OILS TO BE AVOIDED. «The question which presents itseif in this con- | wection Is:—How and to Whatextent cam unaer- writers exert tneir influence to prevent the sale and use of uosaie or adulterated ols? Shal we | act Independent of (nis legai restriction, aud adopt regulations Of our OWn Lo eltaer excluce (hem, or establish a tariff of charges jor the increased hazard? Shall we atvempt co enlorce the present jegal restriction? Or shai the attempt Le made comoine both of these proposed remedies?

MEPTING YESTERDAY OF THE SENATE COMMIT- TER TO INVESTIGATE TRRMINAL CHARGES ON GRAIN—THE EVILS NEW YORK MERCHANTS HAVE TO BEAR. ‘rhe State Senate Committee, consisting of Sen. ators Kellogg, Connolly and Johnson, lately ap- pointed to investigate the rate of alleged exces- sive terminal charges on grain coming into New York, met yesterday in the omce of the Cheap ‘Transportation Assoctation, Pearl street, Senator Kellogg in the chair. Several persons who had been cited to appear before the committce were present and testided under oath, E. ©, Rich, a grain receiver, of this city, was the first to testify, In yesterday’s proceedings he said an item of expense in terminal grain cnarges had been omitted, The totai charges per bushel on grain were really 43{ cents and not 37 cents, as stated. The charges for elevating are \ cent, storage X% cent, lighterage 1g cent, reweighing cent, and the charges tor redelivering from % to 4% of @ cent, making a total of anout 434 cents per bushel. ‘The grain brought twocents per bushel in warehonse than afloat, No boat brought than from 6,000 to 7,000 bushels to the load. He could tell nothing about portage charges and knew of no combination for the purpose of Keep- ing up terminal charges, These were, he be- Meved, uniform throughout, ‘The rate seemed to rest upon a mutual understanding among those interested, Members of companies owning ele- vators and others had met to consult about the reduction of rates, THE TRANSFER OP GRAIN and the storage cffarges were different. The lat- ter item was one-quarter of a cent per pusbel for the Orst ten days. The charges of stationary and foating elevators did not differ from each other. The annual trade of New York in this line of busi- | ness—grain—was equal to $90,000,000. Mr. S. W. Fairfield, President of tne American Exchange (butver and cheese), made a long state- ment, the general tenor of which was that be had ascertained the annual loss resulting {rom trans- fers and transshipments of merchandise 1n New York to be $30,000,000, He then read a paper whicn he had addressed on the 7th of Jas: January to the Cnamber of Commerce in this city, in which he took the ground that New York must take immediate action for the pur. pose of procuring better facilities than now exist for the exchange, storage and transft of merchandise. The piers of the Hudson are ter- mini for upwards Of 72,000 miles of railroads. The prosperity of New York depended upon the American trade in the domestic staples of food— not cereals alone, but datry products, provisions, &e. The books of the Clearing House last year had on their p2ges $33,972,773,942 97. The total export trade auring the same time was $313,129,963, and tne estimated total tonnage of this port was 100,000,000tons. Any plan contemplating the transfer of tnis tonnage from our river piers amounted, he said, to a tax that would invite it to other ports. A general exchange for the con- venieuce of commerce and a united movement of the merchants at tis centre, under the auspices ol] such an insritution for economical terminal and storage jucilities, were the chief requirements of our commerce, The absence of ageneral excuange involved the necessity, on the part of small mer- chauts and others, fo spend much of their time in | bargaiming with dealers at opposite sides of the city. More than 20,000 mercoants and business men of this city were compelled to travel jroin polnt to point, in order to manage their allairs. at great trouble and expense. In tnis way we have @ daily tax of $100,000, and $30,000,000 annually, on OUR CITY TRADE, without estimating tie carting, storage and re- carting of merchandise consequent upon this acomalous condition of things, ‘Ine issue now in- volved was to orm @ common Trace bxchange, and to tdieate where railroad companies and | other public carriers ought to invest capital for tue Lions Lo suppress their Sale, such Dasale Oils Would | | moving grain, without tuking away all the profits | be retired from the market for wan. of pur- chasers.
