Mabel her fifth husband, at Fort Lauderdale, Chief Says a Grass Fire Calls Costly A request that local persons investigate grass fires and ascertain if the services of the fire department are needed before calling the department was made today by Fire Chief Raymond Earle. The request was the result of three runs made by firemen Thursday evening to grass fires which were being watched and which were not threatening any property.

THE RUNS took firemen to Sippo Heights, 1st st SE and rd NW during a 47-minute period from 6:55 to 7:42 p. m. Every run made by firemen, Chief Earle pointed out. costs the city money, and many times men and equipment of the department are tied up unnecessarily by runs grass fires at which their services are not needed. The chief emphasized that the department be called immediately whenever a grass fire begins to threaten nearby property.

Often, he stated. well-meaning persons observe a grass fire at i a distance and call firemen who upon investigation learn that the fire is confined to a definite area and is being watched. Such runs, he pointed out, are not necessary. CHIEF EARLE warned against starting grass fires or burning rubbish or paper in a strong wind. Too often, he said, the wind scatters burning grass or paper and causes fires which often result in serious damage.

In such cases, he stated, the. persons who started the fires are responsible for the resulting damage. Pointing out that papers and rubbish should never be burned in the open, the fire chief urged that incinerators. wire baskets or other containers be used. He requested that persons planning to burn off lots or fields notify the department in advance so that firemen will know about the fires in case they get calls about them.

Republic's sales and operating revenue amounted to $772,000,000 for the year, Payrolls for the 12 months totaled $245,554,000, almost a quarter of a billion dollars, while taxes, including federal income taxes, totaled $45,779,000.

Federal income taxes alone were 000 and depreciation and depletion charges were in excess of 000. Republic's long term debt was decreased by $9,410,000 and working capital increased by 000. "This is shown by the composite stecl price index which stood at $46.23 per ton on Jan. 1, 1939, and $75.20 per ton on Jan. 1, 1949, a 63 per cent increase.

This can be contrasted with a general increase in the wholesale price level during the same period of 110 per cent."

"In spite of sharp increases, not only in the cost of capital improvements but in wages and the cost of materials and supplies, the price of steel remained at a low level as compared with other commodities," Republic executives reported. THE NEED for governmental action to permit a more depreciation of new high cost facil-1 ities for income tax purposes during years of high production and carnings was pointed out. The letter stated that a policy of accelerated depreciation had been adopted for the year 1949 and retroactive to Jan. 1, 1947.

This depreciation is taken on the actual cost of facilities represented by postwar ital expenditures and is applicable capto the years of high production and demand in which the economic value is the greatest. Accelerated depreciation amounting to 000 was charged for the year 1948. The report also listed some the major improvements which the company made during the past year.
