The ostensible r is the regulation of building, vention of fire danger to life and perty, and the conservation of rat 1s interesting to note, from the! rt of the last annual meeting of Dominion Association of Fire | - Chiefs, the efforts which are made to evade the provision of the building o and the success which attends these efforts, Many of these fire Shot experts/Th fire prevention, gave experiences. A i One fire chief sald: "Your muni- .eouncil will sit for hours and up building by-laws, and, in the | 24 hours, when they meet again © bylaws are all cast aside that ome building may be erected in con: vention of the by-laws. -. . . re are lots of aldermen who do t want to break these by-laws, but tnply becapse Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones Ce a friend of theirs, they do it." "An- other -ex-chief sald: "There was a \ ng house that 1 did not approve {of. The aldermen even sald they would sleep in the building, but, before imy time, a license had been granted, 'and they said if I did not approve of it, it would bankrupt the man who built #t. I pointed out that they were put- dollars ahead of lives. I was Mhen 'dismissed from the city for mot Japproying of that." In interpreting the amendment to [the Criminal Code passed at the last session of Parliament, Mr, G. D. Find- dayson, Superintendent of Insurance, |speaking at the meeting of the Do- iminton Fire Prevention Comnimittee, said: "Under the first clause, any per- upon whose premises fire occurs 1s deemed to have caused the fire by megligence if he has failed to comply {with any regulations designed to pre- went fire. Non-compliance is the proof of negligence, and this is a question of fact to be determined by a jury. 'Notification of a breach of the law is mot provided for, as every person is {presumed to be familiar with the law." "In view of the experience of the fire 'chiefs 'above noted, well may it be said, as expressed_by Mr. W. H, Shap- lley, Chairman of the Fire Prevention {Committee, that "the change that has {been made in the 'Criminal Code should have a good effect if we can find anyone loyal enough to the in- Iterests of the Dominjon to enforce the law, 4 --in !Minard's Liniment for sale everywhere The orthodox Mennonites in.-Mani- ltoba and Saskatchewan plan to leave |Canada this summer and establish a jcolony in the Mississippi Valley.
