This means corresponding savings in your insurance and interest charges.
Then, too,handling,storage, and insur- ance costs are lower at the Seattle Pub lic Terminals. That's a further saving. No effort has been spared in protect- ing the Port of Seattle terminals against fire. Automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, chemicals and hose reels, fire walls form an effect- ive safeguard. Watchmen make rounds at regular intervals in fact every modern fire protection method is em- ployed to make the terminals safe.
