Some Fire Inspections Blanks

One is a form by which the Miami, Fla., department keeps watch on the more dangerous risks in the small southern city, and the other is a report blank used by the members of the fire department of El Paso, Tex., in reporting their inspections. The Miami department blank is printed on light green, fairly heavy, Bristol board, 4 1/8 inches wide by 8 5/8 deep, on both sides—the first side reading:
