The grading resulted in Protection Class 7 (3410 points deficiency) compared to the previous Class 8 (3808 points deficiency). The effective date of this improvement in Protection Class is March 1, 1977. It is very difficult to advise what the approximate change in insurance rates would be for various classes of properties. This is primarily due to the adoption of a new Fire Class Rate Manual and Commercial Fire Rating Schedule by this office on September 1, 19.6. These schedules are being adopted nationwide, on an individual state basis. The Fire Class Rate Manual is for the class rating of small mercantile and service occupancies, involving buildings that are 5000 sq. ft. or less in area and not over two stories m height. The Commercial Fire Rating Schedule is applied to rate all other commercial properties. At the present time, the commercial buildings in Beaver are rated under our old Mercantile Schedule. With this change in protection class, the buildings will either be eligible for Class Rating, or for the larger properties, rating under the Commercial Fire Rating Schedule. Since these new schedules were geared for no overall m the rate levels, the effect of the conversion cuange should be minimal. Insurance companies and agents are familiar with these changes and should be able to answer any questions. On a very general basis, we can state that this protection class change represents the following approximate average rate reduction: Larger Mercantile Properties 19 Smaller Mercantile Properties - Masonry (joisted) 17 Smaller Mercantile Properties - Wood Frame 10 Residential Properties - (Homeowners and Dwelling Policies) 8 ror your information we are enclosing two revised of the copies Beaver water system map.

These recommendations are based on conditions found during our recent survey ot your community ana are intended for use as a general guide when future improvements in fire protection facilities are contemplated.

But are we riding on a flimsey cloud? It is something every parent either now or to be should think seriously about. True, there were some few side effects from the swine vaccine for influenza but at worst not as bad as an epidemic could have been. Do not be fearful of vaccines. Think back a few years to small pox, typhoid epidemics and how entire communities were wiped out. Even more recent is the vaccine to protect mothers and unborn children from measles. Why the lengthy introduction, because the March of Dimes is constantly on the alert for healthy babies and prevention of birth defects. The entire thought on the part of the medical profession and unborn babies has changed. It is now recognized that many drugs and medicines are absorbed into the unborn babies blood stream to cause death and permanent dely 438-238- A will in Beaver, Iron, Washington and Kane counties, and that portion of Garfield County west of Capitol Reef National Park.

Also last Monday, 23 sailors and Marines died when the barge they were passengers in capsized when struck by a coastal freighter in the harbor at Barselona, Spain. As an ordinary Monday, we can expect that some fifty people died and another 250 suffered severe injury resulting from automobile accidents in this country. Hundreds of people suffered severe pain and many of them died last Monday as a result of cancer caused by smoking. Over hundreds-pcrha- ps the world, thousands--o- f babies were born who will die before they reach their sixth birthdays. Many of these people will never know what it is not to feel hunger. Many will suffer continually from disease and live their short lives constant pain. Notwithstanding the prominence which the execution of Mr. Gilmore has been given, I believe it was not truly an exceptional event in the course of happenings over the world. It has not been shown that any great amount of suffering attended that event nor in has it been shown that it was accompanied by any great amount of pomp and circum- stance. Further, I fault those who claim io oppose tuc dc.itn penalty in that they haven't shown any re;il alternative. They have not, in mv estimation, presented a viable solution to the problem of w hat is to be done with people who have committed sucli crimes that they should never again be allowed to associate with law abiding people. It seems to me that events such as this execution tend to impair establishment of proper priorities. It is more important to work toward a meaningful end to the daily killings and maiming on the highways than to come unglued at the execution of a confessed murderer. The carnage of cigarette-caused cancer goes on and on, yet the same Tuesday morning paper which headlined the Gilmore demise carried an inside story reporting that the tobacco industry plans a campaign to minimize the effect of efforts. Hunger and disease have been taking their toll for so long that they are no longer considered newsworthy except when they occur in catastrophic proportions. I do not retoiee at the death of I wish there was a Gary Gilmoi better solution to the problem he represents but I don't have one nor do I intend to spend a lot of time and ef fort or thought on that problem when there arc so many others which are more worthy of the 29-3- The Ski Club went on their first skiing trip Jan. 17, 1977.
