"However 1947 shows every ev-ery indication of being as wasteful In the loss of life and property ' from, fire as 1946, which was the highest loss year in 26 years." Calls answered by the depart ment in Provo during the first three months of this year totaled 49, compared with 34 for the same time last year.

Total value of property en dangered this year in Provo was $822,255, nearly 20 times the amount of the losses. Chief Dickson listed as a "program "pro-gram for immediate study and action" in his department, the following: 1. Creation and adoption of a comprehensive fire prevention pre-vention code for the city. 2. Establishment of a fire Inspection recording system. 3. Organize a well - bal- ' anced department with reference ref-erence to officer and fireman ratios to achieve greater unity. un-ity. 4.
