Only twenty-one persons lost their
lives. But 1911 were MANNED, which
exceeds the record of 1900 by nearly
300. The loss of property by fires was
only about $4,000, showing great
alertness on the part of the fire de-
partments. Altogether these figures
are encouraging to those who see no
reason why the national holiday
should be made Cay Of death and
destruction.
