消防的价值
当然，我们接受的各种良好政府。除非出错，否则我们会忘记政府。即使是在过去半个世纪中，科学创造力给我们带来的精彩设备，也没有激动我们的激动，除非出现突然而轰动的援助例子。采用我们的消防部门的现代消防机构。普通公民认为它相当昂贵，而不是有用。如果没有大火，公民看上去不喜欢马路挂钩和梯子卡车，水塔和大型消防员。确实，消防部门没有轻松的时间来证明其成本并确保与进步保持一致所需的支持。它具有无法证明其真正效率的特殊性。比其他任何阶段的最佳工作都没有显示出更多的结果，其结果就在于没有发生的事情。如果大火很少，而室内损失很小，那么效率就不会显示出来，但是显然不必要的成本笼罩着大而烦人。 In many and distastrous fires only can the fire department prove its worth and for this proof the citizen has no hankering. Yet in fireless months and years the fire department returns its largest dividends. Whenever a city has passed a month withou a large fire, the fire department has paid a big dividend to the city. Such dividends should show, if nowhere else, in the understanding and appreciation of the citizens. The expenditure ot money in modern fire apparatus, a well-drilled fire department, an adequate fire alarm system, a large, thoroughly drilled fire fighting force and the newest thought and experience of fire fighting is a good investment, even if its dividends do not show as imposingly as stacks of gold in a bank. Its dividends are in the safety of the community As a matter of incident the meeting of the Pacific coast fire chiefs in this city is banking safety for Los Angeles.—Los Angeles Municipal News.
