Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Fire Insurance: Being the Substance of Lectures Given Before the Evening Classes in Fire Insurance Conducted by the Insurance Library Association of Boston During the Fall and Winter of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven and Twelve In offering to readers this volume of lectures on Fire Insurance the trustees of The Insurance Library Association are actuated solely by a desire to be helpful in the movement for the better training of young men, which seems now to be general throughout the country. The lectures themselves were delivered before students in evening classes formed to aid men in their preparation for the examinations of the Insurance Institute of America. It is not supposed that they possess in all cases either exceptional originality of thought or exhaustiveness of treatment. The lecturers are men engaged as managers, inspectors, engineers or attorneys at law, in the successful performance of exacting duties. Lack of time alone, from the insufficient hours of days already filled with labor, rendered impossible the extended research and comprehensive comparison indispensable to works of pure scholarship. The aim has been to combine theory with practice and to present problems from the standpoint of the beginner. If the reader has been made to see the inherent difficulties of many of these problems it is felt that he will have been helped more than if offered easy solutions which seem simple but do not solve. The Association is greatly indebted to the lecturers all of whom have offered their services freely. Especially is it indebted to Frank M. Forbush, Esq., attorney-at-law, who, although not a member, contributed the chapters on local agency law, which may be confidently claimed constitute the most comprehensive monograph on this subject, as it applies in Massachusetts, which has ever been written. Also mention should be made of those individuals and firms through whose courtesy most of the illustrations used in these pages were made available. They include Messrs. Knight & Thomas, American District Telegraph Company, Eco Magneto Clock Company, American La France Fire Engine Company, A. J. Morse Son, Boston Auto Fire Alarm Company, Badger Fire Extinguishing Company, Hersey Manufacturing Company, United Shoe Machinery Company, New England Bureau of United Inspection, and the National Fire Protection Association of Boston; C. T. Ham Manufacturing Company, Minimax Company, Newman Clock Company, Pyrene Manufacturing Company, Safety Fire Extinguisher Company, and the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company of New York; the Robinson Fire Apparatus Manufacturing Company of Saint Louis; Builders Iron Foundry Company of Providence; The Insurance Field of Louisville, Ky.; H. J. M. Howard Manufacturing Company of Washington, Buffalo Steam Pump Company, Buffalo; Rodney Hunt Machine Company, Orange, Mass., and the Waggoner Sanatory Fire Bucket Company of Chicago.

Download or read book Energy Power and Protest on the Urban Grid written by Andres Luque-Ayala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a global overview of experiments around the transformation of cities' electricity networks and the social struggles associated with this change, this book explores the centrality of electricity infrastructures in the urban configuration of social control, segregation, integration, resource access and poverty alleviation. Through multiple accounts from a range of global cities, this edited collection establishes an agenda that recognises the uneven, and often historical, geographies of urban electricity networks, prompting attempts to re-wire the infrastructure configurations of cities and predicating protest and resistance from residents and social movements alike. Through a robust theoretical engagement with established work around the politics of urban infrastructures, the book frames the transformation of electricity systems in the context of power and resistance across urban life, drawing links between environmental and social forms of sustainability. Such an agenda can provide both insight and inspiration in seeking to build fairer and more sustainable urban futures that bring electricity infrastructures to the fore of academic and policy attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century, cities such as Houston, Galveston, New Orleans, and Mobile grappled with the safety hazards created by oil and gas industries as well as the role municipal governments should play in protecting the public from these threats. James B. McSwain’s Petroleum and Public Safety reveals how officials in these cities created standards based on technical, scientific, and engineering knowledge to devise politically workable ordinances related to the storage and handling of fuel. Each of the cities studied in this volume struggled through protracted debates regarding the regulation of crude petroleum and fuel oil, sparked by the famous Spindletop strike of 1901 and the regional oil boom in the decades that followed. Municipal governments sought to ensure the safety of their citizens while still reaping lucrative economic benefits from local petroleum industry activities. Drawing on historical antecedents such as fire-protection engineering, the cities of the Gulf South came to adopt voluntary, consensual fire codes issued by insurance associations and standards organizations such as the National Board of Fire Underwriters, the National Fire Protection Association, and the Southern Standard Building Code Conference. The culmination of such efforts was the creation of the International Fire Code, an overarching fire-protection guide that is widely used in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. In devising ordinances, Gulf South officials pursued the politics of risk management, as they hammered out strategies to eliminate or mitigate the dangers associated with petroleum industries and to reduce the possible consequences of catastrophic oil explosions and fires. Using an array of original sources, including newspapers, municipal records, fire-insurance documents, and risk-management literature, McSwain demonstrates that Gulf South cities played a vital role in twentieth-century modernization.
