this is the bold suggestion made
in an article contributed to The

president OF the international So
ciety Of Building Commissioners.

proof when it is not, he says, is

writer gives figures showing how
much greater the fire loss is in the
United States than in other conn
tries In the Uaited States about
$215,O00,0O0 worth Of property is
destroyed by fire every year. Tho
cost Of fire departments and insur-
ance brings the total outlay on ac-
couns cf fires up to 100000, 900.
The fire expense equals, and in some
years exceeds, the entire amount
