BY HIS EXCELLENCY
MARCUS H. HOLCOMB
GOVERNOR
[rurlamatium
THE abnormal conditions which now prevail must
| impress every thinking person with the
alarming dangers occasioned thereby, and
the obvious necessity for concerted action to
maintain peace, the preservation of property
and the maintenance of law.
Existing conditions suggest the possibility of an
increase of the fire hazard. It is the duty of everyone to
do all which can be done to prevent destructive waste of
every nature and none is greater than that caused by
destructive fires.
In compliance with the mandate of our General
Assembly I hereby designate Thursday, October ninth, as
3fire
and request the press, the teachers in our schools, and all
the people of our State, on that day to give special consid-
eration to the best means of safeguarding against destruc-
tive fires.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hart-
ford, this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand, nine hundred and nineteen, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and forty-fourth.
By His Excellency's Command:
Governor.
Secretary.
