FIRE PROTECTION ROBERT F. PETERSON, Commissioner FIRE PREVENTION

January 28, 1957
Commissioner Peterson
Dear Commissioner:
Because of many complaints that come into the Fire
Prevention Office and also my office on account of present
burning hours , and to make it more convenient for the public
to dispose of their ordinary daily accumulation of paper
and household rubbish, I recommend that the hours for burning
rubbish in Section 2101 of the Fire Prevention Code be
amended to read: 12:00 noon to 8 :00 P.M. daily instead of the
present 6: 00 to 9:00 A.M. and 6 : 00 to 9 :00 P.M.
The ordinance as I recomend it is as follows:
Section 1: That ordinance No . 8286 approved Sept. 4, 1941
as amended B and the same is hereb-Tfurther amended by
striking out Section 2101 of Part 21 thereof and by inserting
in lieu of the following:
2101: No person shall kindle or maintain any bonfire
or shall normally furnish the material for any such fire or
authorize any such fire to be kindled or maintained on or in
any street, alley, road, land or public grounds or upon any
private lot unless a written permit so to do shall first have
been secured from the Bureau of Fire Prevention. This shall
not prohibit the burning of inconsiderable quantities of
rubbish on private premises on any day between the hours of
1.2:00 noon to 8 :00 P.M. when placed and contained in a non-
combustible container of any type approved by the Chief of
the Bureau of Fire Prevention.
Respectfully submitted,

EB 13 AM
Honorable Mayor and Co rii''tg .9ngrs
St. Paul, Minnesota
Dear Sirs:
I wish to file a protest against the proposed ordinance changing
the hours of burning rubbish. We have had no law enforcement of the
present ordinance nor of the ordinance that preceded it; viz. that
rubbish could be burned only between the hours of 6 to 9 A.M. In any
ordinance of this type the word rubbish should be clearly defined.
Certainly the burning of hugh quantities of leaves does not come
under the definition of rubbish.
The word bonfire should not be considered either with or without
a permit from the Fire Prevention Department. In this congested area
where it is possible to shake hands with your neighbor through your
windows there is no place for a fire in the open air.
In hot summer days one has to wait until evening to go onto the
porch or into the yard for a little cool fresh air. If on all four
sides your neighbors and their neighbors are burning anything, all
you can do is go back into your house and close doors and windows
and turn on the electric fans and read the ads about the wonderful
outdoor summer life in Minnesota. Why should our city be filled with
smoke day after day and night after night from April to November?
You no doubt know this smoke is dangerous both to traffic and health.
In this Centennial Year let us pass an ordinance that is protective
rather than destructive, and above all let us have enforcement.
Yours truly,
ite-uer ?Pt*
(Mrs.) Jewell D. Maley
