Firs Insurance Prompted By Disastrous 1666 Blazo In 1666 a tiny wooden house in London burned to the ground and set off the whole city of tinder box houses. With two-thirds of the city in ruins, Nicholas Barbon conceived the idea of an insurance company to protect against loss from fire. The insurance companies proved a good idea with a mixed blessing. People paid money to an insurance company fire protection and socalled "fire brigades" were chosen to protect the insure! buildings. As fire insurance became more popular, the number of fire insurance companies increased but each company protected only the buildings it insured. If the brigade, according to Franklin institute, reached til* burning house only to And that it was not insured br their company, they often stood back and watched the house burn while awaiting the arrival of the proper brigade. It was not untO 1825, when the London brigades began to unite, that the city became adequately protected. In lflBt the 4rst legislative effort at fire protection for Philadelphia was mod*.

Water Sapply Unpalatable Where Algae Plant Brow* Although water-borne contagion can be kept at a minimum, domestic water supplies are occasionally afflicted and some are constantly endangered by the presence of members o* a group of organisms quite distinct from the disease-producing bacteria, according to Harry K. Phinney, Chicago Natural-History museum. These organisms belong to the group of chlorophyll-bearing cellular plants generally and collectively known as algae, pond scums, water blooms and the like. They are plants reproducing by means other than seeds and lack true roots, stems and leaves. The menace of these plants is their nuisance value in producing unpalatable tastes and odors in the water. Any algae species may grow so abundantly in a water supply that upon death and decomposition of the plant body it imparts an objec- _ . tionable flavor to the water. Be-1 *nd daughter, Sharon, of Chicago, fore and after death occurs, algae may also cause trouble in Interfering with waterworks operation in clogging intakes, Alter screens and Alter beds. In addition, certain species are noted for producing tastes and odors in the medium in which they grow as a normal metabolic phenomenon. Odors have been noted resembling both fresh and rotten fish, rotten wood, cucumbers and musty grass. Once the water has become unpalatable through any of these causes, the problem fnust be handled entirely as a chemical deodorizing process. This is accomplished in most v.aterworks at the same <stage where chemicals are added to flocculate sediments or where chlorine is added to reduce the bacterial population. The two common agents employed for this purpose are chlorine and ammonia, either singly or together as ammoniachlorine. HEW!
