Lasher, president of the Indiana Fire Prevention Association and J. W. Reed, a representative, were in East Chicago yesterday afternoon making a preliminary survey in preparation for the state fire inspection which is to take place here about April 15th. This inspection, In which about fifty direct representatives from the state fire marshal's office at Indianapolis will take part, is a phase of a state wide movement and is organized more for the benefit of the merchants, manufacturers and business men of the region than for the fire insurance companies, although the companies are giving their hearty co-operation. Mercantile and industrial men in every locality are welcoming these inspectors who enter a building and go through it thoroughly seeking for plans to eliminate any fire risk that may have been overlooked by the owners or tenants.

They examine the flues, stovepipes, furnaces, grates, lighting systems; look for rubbish, waste, location of gasoline storage or; other explosives, and subsequently" make report and recommendations to the persons interested. Every locality or district has Its own fire Insurance rate and that rate is based of necessity upon the-preponderance of fires habitual to it through a series of months or years. If the number of fires and the amount of destruction can be lessened in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, the rate will automatically become less. It is therefore of economic Interest to all citizens of the region thit this inspection is to be made and thus make possible a reduction in the high fire rate that many are compelled to pay. At Hammond, there will be general meeting of the' five inspectors and the business men of Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and possibly Whiting.

The purpose of the meeting will be to anaugurate a campaign of fire prevention for this part of the county. A banquet will be served and an enjoyable social time as well as. a profitable session is anticipated. There wifl be state speakers to discuss fire prevention methods, answer questions and clear away any misunderstandings. doubt it will be largely attended.
