When effective, the comprehensive fire code will replace most of the fire laws now on the books. Some of the outdated laws date back to 1882 when the manufacture and storage of fireworks and explosives was a primary problem.

The code, along with the penalty provisions of the ordinance, will give Chester fire authorities their first official weapon to stop fires before they start. In the past, property owners who allowed fire hazards in their homes or businesses could not be forced to clear up the hazard. HAS TEETH The new code, under the direction of the also newly-created fire prevention bureau, permits fire officials to force individuals to clean up the hazard and to levy stiff fines for those who don't." Under the ordinance, H. Lewis Harper, Chester fire chief, will head the firo prevention bureau. He will detail members of his department to work in the bureau as the situation demands and will report annually to the City Council on the work of the bureau.

However, Joseph Mielcarek, director of health and public safety, said the new ordinance will not be a blank check to fine indiscriminately. "We don't plan to make a house to house search for fire hazards," Mielcarek said. "But, if hazardous conditions are reported to we will have the authority to do something about them." STIFF PENALTIES Penalties for failing to clear fire hazards range from $25 to not more than $300 for each day the ordinance is ignored. Failure to pay will bring a term in the county jail for a maximum of 90 days. Under the new ordinance, storage of flammable liquids in outside abovegro'und tanks, bulk storage of liquified petroleum gases and storage of explosives and blasting agents generally will not be allowed within the city limits.

The ordinance, the first of three expected to be passed within the next year is also geared with an eye to government funds through urban renewal. Mielcarek said part of the government's regulations before they release money for urban renewal is an up-to-date fire code and good electrical and building codes. The latter two codes are In the formative stage now and will be presented later, Mielcarek said. Duff Resigns From Scott MOYLAN-Glee A.
