benefit to the entire public Several
States have Fire Marshals and they
have been found to be valuable aid
in decreasing the fire losses through
their prosecution of incendiaries.
To decrease the fire losses in West
Virginia was the desire of the fire
insurance companies and they believ-
ed State Fire Marshal with one or
two deputies would be instrumental
in ending the great destruction OF
property by incendiaries. The fire
insurance companies are taxed to
pay the fire marshal and his assist
ants and besides meeting all the OBJ
legations of the Department they
have responded readily with financial
assistance in prosecuting several ag-
gravated cases of incendiarism.
Democratic speakers have referred
to the Fire Marshal and his Office as
a useless expenditure of money by
the State. They did not attempt to
make an investigation which would
show the fire insurance companies
maintained this department at their
own expense and that it has not cost
the taxpayers one dollar.
Beginning with March 4, 1905, all

amounts is included also statutory
