AMERICAN FIRE WASTE,

1t has been estimated that forest fires
in various sections Of the United States
during the present year have wiped
out SO, GOO. 900 worth of property. This
leads writer in the Chicago Evening
Post to some reflections on the annual
fire losses in American cities. This
writer says:
"To date this year we've done SJl4,-
600, 600 worth Of new buildings and re-
pairs. That looks good and prosperous
and progressive: it means approximate
~ ~ zoe, 600, 600 of construction for the
year.
"But look upon the reverse Of the
picture. If nothing extraordinary hap
pens, no abnormal conllagration, our
years fires will total up to about |, 100
people burned, l65, 600 buildings, $780,
600, 600 worth of property. The insur-
ance companies rccOup us in part for
this loss, but we pay them So in prem
iums for every dollar we get out of
them, and then our fire departments
water supply and such items cost us
$500, OO00 900 more; in fine, a net loss or
cost OF 856I 100000 for fire. If the bill
lion dollars expended in new buildings
means progress. this terrific loss re-
y
Grass stupidity.
These figures are of such staggering
proportions as almost to defy belief
but when we consider the number and
frequency of fires in the cities of the
United States, and when contlagrations
like those at Baltimore and San Fran
cisco are recalled, it may well be as
sumed that the writer knows what he
is writing about Forest fires yearly
destroy millions of feet Of the finest
timber on the American continent,
and every town OF any apureciable size
has its costly fires at intervals all too
frequent.
1t is a hopeful sign that there is a
growing disposition on the part Of the
people and the press to take notice of
this tremendous annual tax. Undoubt-
edly the fire losses are too high. and
the question OF reducing them is worthy
Of more serious attention than it has
received in the past.
