LARGE FIRE TAX
Census Report Shows Eu-
ropes Fire Protection Is
Less Costly.

One hundred and fifty Of the largest
cities in the country lost SiS,676,730 in
fires during 1907.
This is the estimate Of the Census
Bureau after a careful investigation of
the subject 1t estimates that the total
fire loss per capita was rs, and the net
loss per capita 3 cents.
OF the vast total Of damage done by
fires, the bureau fixes $1S.965, AZ as the
loss incurred through burning Of build
ings and s293I26j4 as the amount lost
through destruction OF the contents OF
those structures.
While there was a forty million dol
lar loss through fires i'm these 15S cities.
just s3S 80 $50 was spent ia fire pro-
lection, and %. 90 professional fire fight
crs employed. This means a per capita
appropriation Of $I,65 for protection
which is considerably more than for
eign cities spend, as witness, Berlin.
With 25 cents; London. 10 cents; St.
Petersburg. p cents; Paris, q cents.
The Census Bureau, however, states
that the fact that American cities pay
more for fire protection should not be
taken as an indication OF extravaganza
or lack of economy, since foreign cities
have striCter building regulations ana
consequently more fireproof buildings
as well as take greater precautions

There were $3.50 alarms rung during
the year 1907 in these cities and of
these 2, AS were false.
