The creation of fire prevention committee, in order that Texas' present annual fire loss of lives and property destroyed may be cut to the minimum is urged letters which J. W. DeWesse, state tire insurance commissioner, has mailed c-ut to chambers of commerce over the state.

A model ordinance, creating these committees, which would be composed of a leading man and woman the community, and the fire chief and city fire uiarsliall, is sent along with the letter for adoption by the governing body of the city in which the chamber is located. The committee, under this ordinance, would be an official body, its sworn in for definite periods of time. It is empowered to set up from its membership a special fire inquest committee to work with the fire marshall in determing origin of fires. The letter suggests that the chamber of commerce make a study of fire costs in the community, and predicts that this annual loss will be found to exceed the chamber's annual budget. It points out that the property owner, not the insurance company, is the real loser in a fire, since the insurance company merely repays premiums which it has been collecting from the owner.

The nid of the fire prevention department of the state insurance com- miFsioh is offered to those communities who desire to set up fire prevention committees of their own.
