RICHARDSON PARK, Jan. 20 (Special). Following an address by John N. Jordin, past president of the Five Points Civic Association, on "Fire hydrants' before the Women's Civic Club in Community Hall yesterday afternoon, that organization went on record as favoring installation of fire hydrants throughout the Park. Pointing cut that Richardson Park has only "one Are hydrant and two half brothers places where connections may be made with difficulty" the speaker pointed out that the local water company has Installed maias of sufficient capacity, has erected storage tanks and is in everyway provided for any emergency case of fire.

"As presiderrr of the Five Points Fire Company," he said. "I have been-working for years for the adoption of this, the greatest means cf fire protection. The fire company here has on? of the best equipped outfits in the State and no water with which to fight a fire, except the old mill race on duPont Road. Were the hydrants installed, and this must be done under the Fire Underwriters Association plans, every house would be within 500 feet of a Are hydrant and the rates of insurance would drop approximately 35 per cent on homes. This would mean a saving on an average of $6.15 per house annually on insurance while the cost of the fire phi gs would reach $3 per year, each home owner would be saving $3.15 on his insurance.

Many homes would be saving far more than this in addition to having the feeling of safety which the fire plugs would give." Mrs. Rebecca L.
