Tuesday, February 20, “934 fl. W: Hill Talks to Fire Protects Mr. C. W. Hill of the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company spoke last Friday morning to the members of the F. P. E. 8. about the underwriting of sprinklered risks. About thirty students attended. After first discussing in general the value of sprinkler protection in various types of risks and under vary— ing conditions and degrees of super« vision, Mr. Hill gave an explanation of the method of determining the maximum amount of liability to be carried in any one risk by one com- pany. He used specific examples, based upon, reports issued by inspec~ tion bureaus. Sprinkler Value Discussed The various factors ailecting the value of the sprinkler protection, as explained by the speaker, were the construction and occupancy of the building, the public and private pro~ tection, the exposure hazard, and the character of the ownership. Each factor was discussed in detail. In discussing the supervision of the sprinkler system, Mr. Hill mentioned instances when the presence of a watchman on the premises was a hindrance to the efficient operation of the system. Watchmen, on hearing the alarm, have been known to im— mediately shut off the sprinkler sys- tem and commence a search [or the fire. in a large risk, this might con— sume valuable minutes during which the fire might gain considerable head- way. Other employees, in order to prevent accumulation of paint, indus- trial dust, etc., on the sprinkler heads, have covered the heads with heavy paper sacks or cloth and unknowing— ly put the apparatus out of commis- sion. Hazard Changes Line Company inspectors find it neces— sary to keep abreast of changing in- dustrial processes in determining the line or the amount of coverage to be assumed. For example, for several years automobile manufacturing as tablishments were considered as good, representative, metal working risks. Then paint spraying was made a port of the process of construction. With the addition of this new hazard, sev- eral really bad fires occurred. Now, an a result of considerable study and research, better protection of this hazard is commonly afforded. How- ever the hazard is still severe. In the opinion of the speaker, sprinkler protection oi’ such risks as feed mills where there is grave dan— ger of dust explosion is highly over rated. The first explosion would be apt to tear apart the sprinkler pip- ing and to disrupt the source of water supply. In the selection of the basic line to be assumed by the company, factors considered are the experience of the general class of risk, the size of the company’s capital, and the amount of the company’s annual premium rc— ceipts. In the determination of the particular line to be assumed on a given risk, a comparison is made be tween the particular risk and an ar- bitrarily chosen risk which is fairly representative of the class. first: News W Walter Gigolo Krol has added a new laurel to his string of prizes.
