THE KLAMATH Established A weekly paper for the men and women employed in the lumber industry of Klamath County. Issued Every Wednesday. A. H. Raymond Wednesday, October 14, 1925 FOOLISH BUILDING REGULATIONS The lumber industry has done much towards stand ardizing terms and measurements, but often this has been accomplished in spite of building regulations in various cities. A dwelling in Charlotte, North Carolina, must have floors of sufficient strength to support a load of 100 pounds per square foot distributed over its entire area, while in Milwaukee the same floor need be designed to support only 30 pounds. The allowable stress which one is permitted to use in designing with pine timber in one city is 500 pounds per square inch, but if that timber is shipped a short distance to another city it becomes more than three times as much. Those are only two of many such examples which could be cited. Building codes are a necessary protection against ig norance and stupidity. It is essential that they be -bas ed on truth and fact, but too often they have been based on precedent which was established on an insecure foundation. PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR FIRE CARELESSNESS Personal liability for damages arising from fire on account of the alleged gross carelessness- of another will he given its first test in the courts of Georgia as a result of the filing of one of the few suits of its kind, in i the Bibb County superior court. The petition, instituted by the Macon Cabinet Works against the Southern Box and Basket company for damages of $17,000, is of par ticular interest for the reason that insurance companies and officials and citizens of Macon are working in con junction to reduce the normal burning ratio of Macon. Mass meetings of civic bodies and citizens have been held to correct conditions that will result in increasing insurance rates if not abated, and the city courts are invoking fire hazard laws and assessing heavy fines for their violation. When the public once awakens to the fact that pro perty owners, who carelessly or willfully permit fire hazards to exist on their premises, cause thousands of dollars of useless expense to other citizens in the shape of necessarily higher insurance rates, there will be .a more general demand for fines and penalties to be charged against such property owners! .who; are -responsible for loss by fires. -'" In the presents case the clean up their property. All notices were ignored and accumulations of trash were permitted to exist with re sulting fire losses to adjoining property. This case deserves national -attention and should form the basis for legislation relating to personal liability for negligence in maintaining fire hazards. It Did Seem Funny At Camp Grant, daring the un pleasantness, the officers had diffi culty In getting the proper salutes from the men. Lecture followed lec ture, but apparently to no avail. A Negro private met a captain one morning and greeted him with: "Howdy, bOBS." Followed a long tirade from the captain on the correct way to sa lute a superior. The buck listened In silence, scratched his head and finally replied: "Lawey, boss, if Ah'd thought you was gwlne git so mad about it, Ah wouldn't of spoke to you a-tall.
