<br />"Please find attached copy of a resolution in supporn of a fire code for the

<br /> Thanking you for your serious consideration of this important matter.
<br />
<br /> "WItEREAS, the City of Portsmouth does not have a fire code, and
<br /> WHEREAS, the lack Of a fire code has permitted a countless
<br /> number of fire hazards in the City to be created through lack of
<br /> clearly defined regulations and enforcement, and
<br /> WtlEREA$, a fire code of national recommended standards would
<br /> set forth fire prevention features for the safety and welfare of
<br /> all citizens and define the lines of authority of the City Fire
<br /> Department personnel in the enforcement of said standards, and
<br /> WHEREAS, the adoption of a nationaliy recommended fire code
<br /> by the City of Portsmouth would decrease the nn~nber of penalty
<br /> points on the next inspection of the City by the Fire Underwriters,
<br /> and
<br /> WHEREAS, the number of penalty points determines the classz-
<br /> ~fication of a City which in turn. has a bearing on the fire insurance
<br /> rates for a city, and
<br /> WHEREAS, with the upgrading of our fire alarm system and by
<br /> adopting a fire code, it is hopeful that Portsmouth would qualify
<br /> for a lower classification.
<br /> NOW= THEREFORE= BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors
<br /> of the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce does hereby recommend co
<br /> the City Council of Portsmouth the adoption, of a nationally
<br /> recommended fire code.
<br /> This the 24 day of July, 1961."
