worth of damage-rathcr tidy sum
to pay for this form of amusement.
The fire bill for crime and mischief
however, is far less than the bill for
carelessncss in handling heating and
lighting apparatus, matches, cigar
cites and frrcrackers. For their
carclcssncss in playing with fire in
the 21 years people of the United
States have paid a bill of S2G6,34O,
O5S, or - per cent of the total loss,
if the itemizd percentages for the
years given hold for the entire period.
This source of fires is more than
double the total fire bill for electric
wires, lightning, cyclones and earth
quakes prior to the San Francisco dis
aster. Even forest and prairie fires
can be added without equaling the
loss through carelcssness.
