Cleanup and Paintup Campaigns Cut Fire Hazards
Waterloo citizens are urged to join a Cleanup and Paint-up campaign to reduce fire risks. The effort allows tenants to handle cleanup while owners handle painting, improving city beauty and safety. Past figures show fire losses immense, with campaigning reducing premiums in Cincinnati by over 3100,000 in one year. Clean alleys, repaired fences, cleared vacant lots, and removal of rubbish are emphasized as essential steps toward prevention.

He promotes building and loan associations as key financing, contrasts them with farm loan banks, and notes legislation to allow mortgage borrowing from federal sources.
