WANTED, A SALVAGE CORPS.

» {To the Editor of the Express. Sir, — In a meeting oE the Borough Coun eil Cr Jellyman made a motion to form a Fire Police, but I think myself there should be a strong Salvage Corps forced, the same as m other place. 0 . Why I speak of a Salvage Corps is this, ihe Corps claims so much per cent. Now this rrust come out of the Insurarce Companies, who will not contribute anything to hc-lp to pay tho expenae3 of things » hat are required for the prevention of fire. There is uo mistake that those who are insured have to pay a very high premium Now when the ratepayers come to think{of the amount of money ihat has been paid up to the present time one item alone of £800, it is quite time that the different Insurance Companies should shell < ut. If that fire the other night (2nd March) had happened later on m the night, it might h-.ve been very different. The rules for working a Salvage Corps can be obtained easily enough from Melbourne or America. When the amount of money expended is considered, it seems to me rather onesided. Now the Fire Brig ide m Blenheim is formed of volunteers, an<J the Salvage Corps will bo the ume. It does not matter what Firemen do ; they get plenty of ridicule anrl abuse, besides ireing at the call of the bell at any lime. Tho onl gainers m ono snn.se nva the Insnrnnre Comp 'iuca, for the different coips d > Uuir best to put out a fire and save, as much as they can. They can work as hard us the can and destroy a lot of clothing, besides being wet through and liable to other accidents. And whom for? The Insurance Companies. Thoy do not g:t even thanks. Touch the Offices' pockets if we can; that's the way 10 get thanks.— I am, &c, W. F.
