Distributors very remote, except In tho old part of town across the railroad tracks. Over there Is constant danger. "We found conditions In the main buslnese area excellent. The alleys and area ways, where we usually find some of tho most) severe fire hazards, are In the best condition we have found anywhere with the exception of Walla Walla. Your property own ers and (business men are to be con gratulated. "La Grande has adequate ordin ances covering building construction In the fire limits, electrical Installa tion, storage of volatlles and explo sives, disposal of rubbish and Inflam mable waste materials, and the like. "You have an excellent fire depart ment In its personnel and upkeep r equipment. When the -tax situation warrants you should have another truck a small one with complete equipment for quick work In emer gencies where the largo trucks are not needed. The small truck could also be used to reach farm fires. "In Fire. Chief Ltndsey you have a very efficient leader for your fire fighting forces. Chief Llndsoy Is sin cere, a hard worker, and he knows his business. The paid members of the fire department are also to foe commended. The people of La Grande should give the utmost in co-operation to these men. 'Your schools are In fairly safe condition. The upkeep In all schools 'Is very good Indeed and those re sponsible for such conditions are to be commended. Wo made several recommendations In all schools for removing hazards and better safe guarding the lives of the children and young people. We ore assured all suggestions will be Immediately com plied with. "The most prevalent hazards found In La Grando were: Overfuslng of branch lighting circuits which is a very dangerous practice. Nothing stronger than 20 ampere fuses should be used. In such circuits. Careless disposal of oily waste, oily dust rags, paint rags, oily mops and tho like is another prevalent hazard. ' In several places In the business area bar grates should ) removed and solid sheet Iron covers Installed in their placo. A match or lighted cigarette carelessly and unlntenlonally tossed through one of these grates could start a serious fire. "Through talks to the students in tho high and public schools I warned about the smoking and match haz ards, "Home cleaning with gasoline by adult women and young women Is one of the groatesb dangers of life, as well as property, thati wo know of. The rubbing of articles, silks espec ially, when being cleaned with gaso line, benzlno or naptha produces static electricity which if It gives off LAST TIMES TONIGHT PLEASUR 0m.lTsTOBII Usual YOUNG wttiiitilr fir i it i i ViA; fr-fr E CRUISE F Stinting TOMORROW!

Doing the cleaning out in the open does not remedy tlie situation. I want to leave an appeal to all the older and young er women of La Grande to not use gasoline, benzine or naptha In home cleaning, "We are unanimous In our opin ion that La Grande can keep 'the favorable fire record thus far estab lished in 1033 If the people will con tinue to eliminate hazards that cause fires, co-operate with the firemen In their Inspection recommendations, and become fire minded the year around. A continuation of the 1933 record will ultimately mean a lower ing of Insurance rates which will save the people thousands of dollars each year in the cost of fire Insurance protection."
