"Nobody gets a esf i fnr si Plan For Greater Boston Bureau Discussed at the State House. Most People in District Declared to Be Really Good Firebugs, The Committee on Metropolitan Affairs gave a hearing yesterday upon the report and recommendations of the Fire Hazard Commission for the Metropolitan District at the State House. Franois R. Bangs chairman of the commission explained the report ani said that what was desired was a permanent Fire Hazard Board for Greater Boston with all the powers of the present EXCIS3 Board. Francis T.

Powell of the commission said the fire loss grows about four times as fast as the population and that 85 percent of the fires are preventable. Ile cited the results obtained in New York from its Bureau of Fire Prevention. Henry M. Fenton of the commission said that about 79 percent of the people of the State are really fire bugs, though In the great majority of instances of course unconsciously. It was a question whether the Fire Marshal's office should be separated from the district police; whether it should be re-created as a new office, or'whether there should be additional Inspectors.

Personally he advocated, the recommendation of the commission that there shall be a Fire Prevention Commission for the Metropolitan District and that all existing powers in whatsoever officers and boards vested should be transferred and vested in this new commission. High Pei' Capita Loss in Boston. Fire Commissioner Cole of Boston said the fire loss in the fire district of Boston is an average of $3.09 per capita annually, as against a yearly average of $2.40 per capita In Chi: cago, $2.29 per capita In New York city, $1-71 per capita in Philadelphia and about 33 cents per capita in Europe. "This showed," he said, "that there is something wrong in our system. So It came down to this, that there should be one central authority for fire prevention for the Metropolitan Dis trict.

But that central authority should not interfere with the handling of fires by the local Fire Departments of the district. The Metropolitan District should be treated as one district is this connection. "It was simply absurd that with three fire boats lying idly at their piers in Boston that they should not be sent across to the water front of Chelsea, to aid in extingeishing a tire there until Chelsea, unable to extinguish the tire, should send Its special call for their assistance. The same situation applies to the thickly settled portions of Brookline when a fire starts there. Window Protection.

"There should be the same provisions for gas shutoffs. for vent cocks, for fire walls, that wooden houses should not be built closer than 10 feet apart 341 over the Metropolitan District, that there are In Boston. "There should be the same requirements for metal frames and glass protection where buildings adjoin. In Cincinnati at the burning of the Gibson I louse, a tall building next to it caught fire at the llth floor and burned upward to the 17th. That couldn't have happened if there had been metal window frames and proper glass protection.

"All walls and columns below the upper floors should be absolutely fireproof. In Boston, although we have no inspection force and our firemen are employed only to put out fires, we made 20,000 inspections last year and that coy ered by no means a large area of Boston. -If this bill should go into effect we would, have a tire prevention bureau to make these Inspections complete and thorough. New York, Ohio. New Jersey and Louisiana have the Fire Marshal law." Single-Headed Commission.

Senator Allen: "Have you any evidence of improper influence upon this commission?" Mr O'Hearn: "I wish to say, as I said at the outset: that I had no reflection to cast upon our commission. but it did seem to me that some interests were seeking control rather than corn-promise. I do believe that 10 additional inspectors with the District Police will do more than 25 or 30 men would do under this Fire Prevention Commission.

I think also that fire chiefs in the district should be on the Board of Appeal." Raymond P. Delano of the Dorchester Real Estate Exchange said that this is a big subject and that the passage of this bill will stop all the agitation about building laws, fire hazard and existing conditions. He was going on to speak for his personal bills, when Senator Allen stopped him and said that the committee would close the hearing on the commission's report and bill and would hear the others next Wednesday.

Classmates Tender Dinner to Dean of Boston University on His 50th Birthday. Homer Albers, a graduate and now dean of the 13 oston University Law School, was tendered a reception and dinner by his fellow members of the class of 1885 at the University -Club last night.

The occasion was the 50th birthday of Dean Albers, and it was attended by more than a dozen prominent lawyers and judges. Every man was given an opportunity to say a few words, and the gist of all were given by Henry A. Wyman, ex-assistant United States district attorney for Massachusetts. when he declared that "Homer Albers Is a man of character, essentials of which he does not wear on his sleeve but which some of us wish we had ourselves. He is rather pugnacious, but his heart is as big as his body, and I know, for I have known him intimately ever since he set foot In Massachusetts." About 14 of the class were present out of the original class of 55.

The medal also reached Washington today and was placed In TEACHERS MUST WAIT FOR RAISE Cambridge Bill Given to New Municipal Finance Phase to Be Studied in Detail, Jurors in a Way to Get $11 a Day in the Future. The fight on the bill to increase the salaries of Cambridge teachers was going merrily on in the House yesterday when a motion by Mr Doyle stayed hostilities, at least for the present. The bill had been favorably reported to the House by the Committee on Education. Doyle contended that the measure should have been referred to the Committee on Municipal Finance, he said, has made a careful study of Cambridge's financial condition.

The Education Committee had no knowledge of this matter, he said, and had evinced no inclination to obtain Information concerning it. He did not believe the Legislature. 'without careful inqedry as to the city's finances. would pass so important a measure against the protest of the Cambridge City Council and the Representatives from that city. He therefore moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on 3aunicipal Finance, and this was carried without division.

Before this action was 4 taken Mr Haines attempted to have the pending bill put over till Wednesday next owing, he said, to the absence on official business of two Legislative committees. This was vigorously opposed by Mr Conway, who said: -The member from Medford had the floor practically all day yesterday and refused to yield even for questions. He played to the galleries then. Today there is no and he desires time in which to round one up." The motion to postpone was defeated, 47 to 63. 1 PRESENTED I TO CAPT A.

Representative Crocker said In part: "I am not here In any Pptrit or 'muck raking to suggest that the work the Legislature is rotten with bribery and vote trading. because I believe that there is little and perhaps no open bribery.
