While it may be essential that local fire departments take some precautionary steps toward fire prevention and create a system of inspection, surely the proposition put up also interviewed some of the leading insurance men in the State, both of the Stock and Mutual Companies, and they seem to think that we can do as we claim. If we were given an opportunity to investigate all the fires in the State, we could save the insurance campanies no less than $500,000 per year.

For the past two years this concern has been making investigations of fires for the State Insurance Commissioner's Office, and during this time has learned that incendiarism is on the increase, and has come to the conclusion that the only way of j checking blazes is by makng thor-I ough investigations of each and I every fire occurring in the State. If I this is done systematically the loss I in the first year can be cut 25 perj j cent, and in two years the loss can I be cut 50 per cent. To a representative of The Jeffer-; sonian, Joseph F. Dougherty, a mem-| ber of the firm, said: I "Our proposition is to employ | about six high-grade investigators, j who wll be in districts throughout I the State, and whose duty it will be j to inspect property. Where there is | a new or additional insurance to be ¦ placed, he will be notified to inspect j the property, and the report will be ; sent to the company's office. f V/hen a fire occurs, he will make I a thorough investigation, not only Of the origin of the fire, but also an investigation of the inventory, where there is any suspicious circumstance of incendiarism fraud or careless-nesss. One copy of each investigation is to go on file at the State Insurance Commissioner's Office; one copy is to be sent to the insurance companies for the guidance of their adjusters, and one copy, where there is evidence of incendiarism or fraud, to be given to the State's Attorney of their respective counties, for his guidance in prosecution. "Our investigators will be high-class men. Some of them are now employed by newsappers as investigators and writers, who will give our investigations publicity in all the county and city newspapers to such an extent, that we will create a moral dread to those inclined to burn. This proposition is to be done in such a manner, that it will take all the responsibility of the investigation off the insurance companies. All of the men will be sworn in by the Insurance Commissioner as his deputies. Ths will give them official standing, which is really necessary to carry on these investigations. These investigations can be made at the rate of 3-8 of 1 per cent, of all | the premiums received by the insurance companies of the State of Maryland. "We propose to have our investigators in districts throughout the State with Ford cars. The name of the investigator of the State Insurance Commissioner painted across | each door in red letters. It is pro-' posed to have them on the scene of ; the fire, to start an investigation not | later than forty-eight hours after the S fire occurs. This can be done by the I insurance companies immediately ; notfying us at the time they receive | their notice of the fire. If it comes I to the investigator's notice before : the insurance companies are notified, he will immediately start an investigation. "We have interviewed the Insur- the United States.
