ceeding that Of entire cities like Albany,
Kansas City, Omaha and Richmond.
Million dollar fires are no longer in
frequent. The burning Of single block
may consume the combined premium
receipts of all the local fire insurance
companies Cor several years. Indeed,
the congested districts Of our principal
cities demand more fire insurance cap
ital than the world can supply.
After the disaster at Baltimore the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
assisted by the United States Govern
ment, set on foot a thorough investiga-
ton OF fire conditions in the larger cities.
The investigation is still in progress;
but there are obvious improvements
which should be introduced at once
without waiting for the detailed recon-
mendations
The Baltimore conhagration demon
strated that steel construction does not
protect the contents of buildings unPro-
vided with metal window shutters or
wireglass windows. The provisions OF
our building code relating to the safe
guarding Of openings in the shells OF
buildings are not only defective but are
seldom enforced. With metal window
frames and metal sashes containing wire
glass an ordinary brick house would be
fairly proof against fire from without
Such protection would be paying in
vestment in view of the reduction OF
insurance premiums which it would
bring about. Finally, the question might
well be considered whether a city OF
the size Of New York would not find it
economical to prohibit the further cree
ton Of frame buildings.

The Enormous waste by Fire,

In view of the progress made in the
development Of protective apparatus
and materials, We might expect TO
loss of property by fire. On the con-
trary. however, the waste of property
by fire throughout the United States
has steadily increased. II reached last
year the enormous total OF more than
$3.50, 100000. The record of 1904 was
exceptional. being swollen by the con-
fagrations at Shelby, Baltimore, Roches-
ter and Sioux City. However, the
destruction wrought by ordinary fires,
as distinguished from conAagratons,
was greater than ever before
The ordinary fire waste averages
about $3.50, 100000 annually, having more
than doubled since the beginning of
the era OF steel frame building con-
struction, in 1883. 1t constitutes a serious
drain on the prosperity of the country.
Through the system of fire insurance,
It falls with special weight on produc-
tive industries. Merchants and manu-
facturers are obliged to carry policies
of fire insurance in order 10 protect
their credit The premiums are. OF
course, based on the general rather
than on the individual risks assumed
by the insurance companies. Under
present conditions, the cost Of insurance
is an onerous and discouraging tax on
industrial enterprises,
In spite OF heavy premiums, the earn
ings OF insurance capital are small.
net profits OF all the insurance companies
in the United States during the preceding
ten years was swept away by the conha-
grations OF 1904 Out of ten local COM
panies in Baltimore only two we're
able 10 continue in business without
putting up additional capital after the
conhagration there. Owing to made
quate returns, capital is retiring from the
fire insurance business.
The main reason for the growing de-
structiveness Of fires is the concentra-
ton OF combustible values in the bust
ness sections OF our more important
cities The introduction Of tall buildings.
coupled with an increase OF banking and
Of commerce in high priced goods, has
caused wealth to be gathered in enor-
nous quantities on small areas Of land.
A recent number of the Insurance Press
enumerates Lightweight cities in which
single blocks, or squares, contain COM
bustible values ranging from 81 900, 900
to 100000 New York, with n con-
siderable district composed Of S25OOO,o0O
blocks, heads the list; and Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia and Newark follow
with squares containing a combustihle
value Of 100000 each. The heapng
up Of wealth IS reelected in the price
commanded by real property The land

Aldermen Caught in It--Grout Shows There
Is Good Pront I'm Is Cent Gas.

Presi dent Fones told tie Aldermen
yesterday that the Corporation Counsel
had ruled that Alderman Wares resolution
granting the Manhattan and Bronx Elec-
tric Company the right to lay ducts in the
streets, In the event Of the company being
unable to obtain facilities for putting its
wires in the Consolidated Gas Company's
suhways should have gone to the Board oil
Estimate before being sent TO committee
lie ruled that in accordance with the Char
ter the matter should be taken out Of ehe
hands Of thA committee and sent TO the
Board of Estimate.
Tammany Leader Mccall said that there
had never been reading of the application
in the meaning Of the Charter, and that only
the title Of the application had been read.
President Fornes ruled against this. Mr.
Mccall appealed from the decision OF the
chair, and was sustained by vote OF IS to 5.
Later Alderman Ware moved 10 discharge
The committee and to forward the appnca-
ton to the Board Of Estimate. A motion TO
lay this resolution on the table was carried
by large majority.
Alderman Ware and Meyers. ;wo Hepub-
lican lawyers. said after the meeting that
there was no doubt that the board could be
compelled by mandamus to send the apph-
cation to the Board Of Estima ate.
Comptroller Grout said Of the report that
a bill is to be introduced into the Legis-
lature forcing the gas companies TO sell to
consumers at Ii cents thousand feet and
declared that the companies could make
good profits at this rate.
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Grout, when
the Union Gas Company OF Brooklyn was
formed. seven companies we're combined
with it, The Union company took over
these companies at a cost Of about SIS, Ooo, 900
and issued $4,000 900 bonds and $4,000, 900
