We need a hard-boiled fire inspection service, and we need prison sentences for a few incendiaries as a warning lo others who nniy be tempted by difficult business conditions to imperil Ihc property of others. SATURDAY, MAY 30J931 1 oo Many Fires A good many complaints are heard concerning the high rates which Arkansas property owners and business men are required to pay for lire insurance protection.
