cities being chiefly held by eastern
companies.
There has been no large destruction
OF property by fire In Michigan within
the last decade. Detroit having been
especially free from really big fire
losses. This is due not only to the ex-
cellence OF the fire department. but
also to the cooperation of the fire In
surance men with the building depart
ments In demanding more attention to
the elimination OF fire risks SO far as
possible.
Through these influences the IRE
limits OF the city have been extended

resisting construction. The work OF
the fire insurance companies in the
prevention OF fires is q part of the
activities OF these companies that Ia
frequently overlooked by the general
public.
The fire insurance business In De
troit has been run upon strictly con
sentative business lines. as In fact II
has been run generally throughout
the country. The record contrasts
favorably with the methods of con
Quoting life insurance companies as
revealed by the disclosures. Perhaps
the reason for this is to be found In
the more businesslike things and peo
pie with which the fire insurance com
panies are called upon TO deal. Fire
insurance Is SO thoroughly established

CEMENT IN BUILDING.
Easy Access Has Made It's Use Popu-
lar In This City.

Detroit builders consider themselves
fortunate in having easy access to all
the cement they need for building
purposes. In and about the city
there are big plants, turning out thou
sands OF tons Of cement every year.
An unlimited quantity Of sand and
gravel is also available at these places
at all times.
Much of the material used In the
manufacture OF cement comes from
pits within a short distance OF De-
troit. and the proximity Of the gravel
and sand beds to Detroit, the dealers
say, has something TO do with keep
ing the price OF cement and its In
gradients at a reasonable price. The
fact that there are large cement yards
In Detroit also enters into the regula-
ton OF the cost OF the article. Were
Il necessary for Detroit builders to
import their cement and other build
ing essentials. the cost OF building
would be much heavier here than 1t
now Is, the cement dealers argue.
For the remarkable growth of De-
troit in the past few years, the ce-
ment dealers claim some credit They
declare that, but for the capacity of
their cement plants and yards, the
builders OF the city never could have
kept up with the demands for new
factory accommodations. In the build
ing of most Of the automobile fac
tories. cement was extensively used,
and the manufacturers OF this com
modify point out that II was their abil-
ity to meet the demand for cement
that allowed the city to expand as II
did. They also intimate that they
have an inxehaustible supply OF sand
and gravel and will be able to meet
the demand for cement. no matter
how great II may be, for many years
to come.

FIRE INSURANCE
SHOWS BIC GAIN
Detroit Underwriters Share in Gen
eral Wave of Pros
perity.

The situation Of Detroit with re-
spect TO fire insurance Is very much
the same as the situation with respect
to life insurance. or the many MILL
ions OF dollars worth OF risks In De-
troit and the adjacent territory only q
small portion is placed with Detroit
fire insurance companies. the larger
portion by far being placed with the
big eastern companies. It Is generally
the case with fire insurance. however.
that II is more widely-distributed than
Is the case with other forms Of insur-
ance. for It is the policy OF careful
companies to limit the amount OF
risks they will assume on any one
building or in any one locality. The
possible results of q connagration
would be too serious.
Detroit fire insurance companies,
however. have shown a steady growth
In business throughout the last ten
years, and all the companies engaged
In the business OF writing fire insur-
ance have enjoyed q measure OF the
prosperity that has come to other lines
OF business during the same period.
There have been very few losses OF
any importance to the Detroit com
pantes, as a result of the careful Sc
lection OF risks, and, perhaps. 1t may
be added, to the good fortune that has
fallen to every line Of enterprise in
Detroit during the recent period OF
phenomenal growth.
The only loss. of any importance In
which Detroit companies were con-
cerned was the big confagration fol-
lowing the San Francisco earthquake
In 1906. Together with a great many
other companies throughout the coun-
try Detroit fire insurance interests
were involved In this great disaster.
All the claims were paid promptly,
however, and 1t was only short time
before the effects were entirely for
gotten In the chase after more bush
ness. Detroit fire insurance compan-
les were not involved in the other two
big CONGREGATIONS Of the decade, the
Baltimore and Chelsea fires, the insur-
ance on the burned buildings In these
