L~E~ YARD IN FIRE DISTRICT: It having been brought to the attention of the Council that the Chula Vista Lumber Company had purchased the lot adjoining their pres- ent plant, and proposed to exten~ Shelf present lumber to that extent, this all being in the Inner Fire District, Mr. ~VSullivan, Jr., one of the owners of the lumber yard, appeared and ex-planned as follows: It is the intention to extend the present lumber yard to cover the lot now occupied by Helm Bros. garage, but that the extension would not mean any greater fire hazard, as only lumber will be piled in the extension; that the present mill, pertain- ing to the yarA, will removed from its present location, to the center of the yard, and rewired and made safer than it is at present; that the insurance rates on a public gar- age is approximately four times higher than on a lomber yard, and that the removal of the public garage and replacement by a lumber yard, will greatly reduce the fire haz- ard and lower insurance rates to adjoining property. Fire Chief Smith agreed with Mr. Sullivan as to the fire hazard and the lower insurance rates. Mr. A. E. NcFarlin, of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific, being pres- ent, also, agreed.
