Saginaw Wins Trophy for Second Time
Saginaw, Mich., has the honor of receiving the Paxton Mendelssohn fire prevention trophy for the second consecutive year. The trophy was awarded at the meeting of the Southeastern Michigan Association of Fire Chiefs at Detroit.
The trophy was given to Saginaw for its low fire loss during 1940, totalling $80,701, or 98 cents per capita. In 1939, when the department won the award for the first time, the per capita loss was 90 cents. If Saginaw wins the trophy for the third successive time, the department will acquire permanent possession.
