SOME FIRE Loss FIGURES.

Although Barre City and Barre Town
are entirely separate and distinct corpor-
ations, as distinct as if the former were
Podunk and the latter Squash Hollow,
the state insurance department continues
to fail to recognize that fact and in its
Fire loss Of 1908 by towns gives only
Barre and thus accredits Washington
county with only nineteen towns. where
as the county has twenty. This over
sight was committed in the report Of
the commissioners for 1907 Il would
seem that Barre City and Barre Town
are entitled to assume their own names,
since they were divorced absolutely four
teen years ago. and we would ask the
insurance commissioners in their next
report to differentiate between the two
corporations. But BY the figures we
learn that Barre had total Of thirty
two fires last year, with total loss
oe s1OslO Barre City's proportion Of
this total according to the computation
Of the city fire department chief, is ST.
300. There were twenty -eight towns
II the state which had larger fire loss
than this municipality, the most heavily
burdened being Richford with an aggre
gate Of $ls9.so2 This large total is &C.
counted for in part by the destruction Of
an immense grain elevator there. That
and Richmond's conAagration caused the
states total fire loss to reach the large
total Of Sl,llS,545.

It speaks strongly Of the hold the
automobile has obtained among the
people that no very noticeable falling
Of in the production and sale Of the
motor vehicles was experienced last
year. The business depression was sew
ere enough to force most people into
economies Of some sort, but the econom-
izing seems TO have pursued almost any
other direction than this-the telephone,
however, afrording another and less sur
prising exception. There are now about
$50 factories in the United States max
ing motor vehicles, and nearly 100 Of
them are manufacturing for more than
a local trade. The output this year viii
be, according 10 those in the business,
approximately 1901 cars, valued at
si25.00O000. To such dimensions has
the industry grown within not over II
years The demand for commercial uses
is said 20 be steadily increasing, espec.
tally in the city cab line, but the larger
employment Is still for pleasure

The strenuous competition between
Germany and England to outbnild each
other in the construction Of battleships
seems to have had its influence on Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who in the current NUM-
Der Of the Outlook urges bigger navy
for the United States as a means for
settling our peace problems. Americans,
however, would never consent to enter
into the hysterical struggle which is now
uppermost in the German and the Eng
lish mind. Germany is after the SUI
premacy Of the sea, while England is
hard put to it to retain that proud
position. The chances favor the former.
