The following is a letter receiv
ed by Fire Chu'f Laws front the
oard of Fire Underwriters of the
Pacific, 914 Merchants Exchange
building. San Francisco. Calif.,
and is herewith published for the
interest contained therein. It is
self explanatory:
San Francisco, Dec. 22, 1937.
Mr. W. W. Laws,
Chief of the Fire Department,
Nome, Alaska.
Dear Chief:
Thank you for your letter of
December 6 outlining the tire de
partment organization and equip
ment for Nome.
Of course, we had some of this
information before when Mr.
Stryker was in your city a year
ago last summer. We also hadj
the results of the test run on the
new 500 g.p.m. pumper. These
improvements, in conjunction
with the wateT system, have re
sulted in a reduction in dwelling
rates of 35%. Mercantile rates
have been reduced approximately
15%. In addition to this, credits
have been granted for the use of
the average clause which means
a material saving to merchants
using this form of insurance.
When you were contemplating
the purchase of a pumping en
gine, I computed the possible rate
reduction. This was in the file
with the rate which was to apply
without the pumping engine.Thru
some mistake, the Surveying De
partment published the rate with
the pumping engine about a year
ago, and this has been in effect
ever since. You will understand
therefore, that these improve
ments have been taken into con
sideration. and if you could ob
tain the figures on the insurance
saving in the city of Nome I feel
sure that it would show that the
fire department is paying divi-j
dends.
Yours very truly,
L. S. BUSH,
Chief Engineer.
Joe Louis And
Mann To Fight
February 23rd
Title Holder Is Tthe Favorite By
Wide Margin—Battle will be
At Madison Square Garden.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10, (£>)—'Thick,
juicy pork chops for Heavywei
ght Champion Joe Louis are off
the menu for the rest of the
month, and the same goes for
fried chicken, corn pone, and all
the other delicacies of the table
which are the mortal enemies of
the world’s prize fighters.
Joe Louis is training seriously
this time.He has said so himself.
The big colored fighter feels the
darts that have been flung at him
by the newspapers. darts that say
he is slipping because he is eating
himself out from under his titled
crown.
Joe, it is said, did not like the
idea of being rated below Henry
Armstrong, the fellow whom the
sports writers selected as the out
standing boxing man of the last
year. Louis is determined to lick
everything that comes before him
this year, including Max Schmel
ing, whom he fights next summer
for the heavyweight title.
Louis’ next formidable adver
sary will be Nathan Mann, the
fellow who beat Bob Pastor after
Pastor hay stayed the limit with
the Brown Bomber. Louis recog
nsz.s in Mann a tough opponent
who hits harder than Pastor and
can take a punch very much bet

ter.
There are a few of the experts
willing to string along with Mann
when lie fights Louis at Madison
Square Garden, New York City,
F.b. 23, but on the whole the
sports writers are naming Louis
as an easy winner.
Joe was not greatly impressed
by Scbmelinig’s recent victory ov
er Harry Thomas. "He took 8
rounds to do a job he should have
done in two,” was the way Louis
analyzed the recent Schmeling
Thomas battle.
Neither does Joe regard Sch
meling’s victory by the decision
route, recently, over Ford of im
portance.
