a year mark.
American Losses Greatest.
The speaker said it had been estab-
lished that the per capita loss in this
country was from ten to thirty times
greater than abroad and declared that
the agitation for remedial measures
based on the discrepancy thus shown
had already had considerable effect
on municipal authorities. state legis
latures and the general public. An
appropriation of s65,000 was set aside
for the use OF the committee on fire
prevention
The retiring officers were reelected.
Destructive Rate increases.
Progress in the national boards
task of keeping down losses by fires
was reported by various committees.
Reports covering practically all cities
of more than 10000 population show
ed a considerable increase last year
in the fire losses which were s279
per capita during the PAS; IL months
as compared with s2.51 in the pre-
vious year.
Slightly more than one-third of this
