Thanks Fire Department for Ef ficient Work at Court House Fire Yesterday Morning. In a latter to James H. Wood, fire chief, thanking him and his men for their successful efforts in putting out ths fir. In th. court house yesterday morning, Chairman W. B. Johnson, of th. county commissioners, draws attention to th. ne.d of a fireproof annex to the building for the preser vation of official records. ' This recalls to many the previous agitation for such an annex and there appears to be a strong revival of interest In th. need of it now. "Had the fir. not fortunately been discovered." said a business man yes terday, "and had not th. department worked so efficiently, all the tax rec ords and other matters of record, touching th. title of every piece of property in this city and county, would have been destroyed. So tremendous a calamity would have overshadowed many time. th. construction of a fire proof annex. "While there is urgent need of more room for the proper accommodation of the farm agents, for instance, for th. Installation of suitabl. rest rooms for th. men and the women of the county, for the engineer and the health officer, the . absolute safety of the. matters of record In the building is the paramount issue. I would like to see a concrete building, say, built twenty feet from the present building, and designed to safely house such of fices and records bearing on property titles here. Had this fire been In an other part of the building, where it might have grown to more serious pro portions before being discovered, every property owner in the county would have something to think about now." The letter from Chairman Johnson to Chief Wood follows: . , . "The chairman and board of county commissioners of Buncombe , oounty desire to thank you and the men of your department for your quick and efficient efforts In putting out the fire of unknown origin in the Confederate relic room at 8 a. m. on the morning of October 12. "The damage is not very extensive and ia covered by insurance with the exception of certain old records valued by reason of sentiment. "This fire may prove of great bene fit to the people of the county, pro vided it brings them to the realiza tion of the existing state of fa.ct that there Is not a fireproof repository for official records In the county court house. We have thought that a fire proof annex should be erscted for the preservation of official records. "In view of the existing conditions the people of the county should keen ly appreciate the efforts of your de partment. The destruction of the county court house by fire would havn meant the destruction of every official record in the county." ;. WAGE DISPUTE ADJUSTED. WASHINGTON, Oct 12.
