Every manufacturer and many businessmen of the city have received personal letters reviewing the immense losses due to fires in the state. The majority of these fires are preventable, it is pointed out, and the businessmen and manufacturers are being urged in the communications to make it a regular part of their business operations to reduce the possibility of fire at their plants and buildings. This work is in charge of a special Chamber of Commerce committee composed of P. G. Farquharson, chairman; John F.

Dapp, W. G. Starry, J. F. Whit taker and E.

Z. Gross. The committee was handicapped by its inability to hold educational meetings whjle the influenza ban remained in force, therefore the only thing that remained was personal communication with property owners. The committee has been busy warning landlords, businessmen and manufacturers that disastrous fires most often start in waste accumulations and dilapidated build ings. Many times the fire loss spreads to property values far greater than the value of the building which starts the fire, the committee pointed out.

The committee urges the purchase of fire extinguishers by business firms, so that small blazes may be extinguished before the fire department arrives.
