More Reductions Looked to
Although the reduction already attained in premium rates for fire insurance have proved a great boon to the city, the committee from the Moscow chamber of commerce and Fire Marshall Carl Smith and others interested in civic improvements say that much more can be done and more reductions be secured.
The installation of a bell on the Mark P. Miller elevator which would insure the means of spreading the fire alarm should either the bell or siren break down, would be one step towards the improvement desired.
The adoption of the fire underwriters ordinances would be another big factor say Fire Marshall Smith. The ordinances of the underwriters would make necessary the securing of a written permit of the Fire Marshall to burn rubbish and trash and would involve a few other things of that nature which have not yet been fully developed in the city.
All these improvements will be gradually added says Mr. Smith and R. Sv Butterfield, chairman, speaking for the chamber of commerce committee which cooperated with the fire department in calling the attention of the fire underwriters at Salt Lake City to the additions that had already been made to the city fire department and which were responsible for the reduced rates.
The members of the chamber of commerce committee which was appointed to bring up and develop the matter of securing lower rates for fire insurance in the city's business district are: R. S. Butterfield, chairman; Claude Renfrew and James Keane.
