Mayor Names Mount Dora Fire Prevention Board
Mayor J. F. Fortner plans to appoint a Mount Dora fire prevention board to act on President Truman's request for country wide action. After a Monday meeting with Fire Chief Ernest Mosteller, the board should be named by week’s end to coordinate with a statewide group and the other 47 state committees. The push follows the Washington conference of May 8 noting fire losses last year exceeded 10,000 lives and 561 million dollars in property, with higher risks in 1947 without quick action.
