1t Is clear, says the report, that any
claim that the fire loss in this state
has been reduced recently is absolute
ly without foundation. Undoubtedly
a part Of the excessive loss in the last
year was due to the extremely dry
season. 1t does not appear that the
element of arson or other moral haz-
ard was a large factor. Out Of 2,340
fires, only twenty-seven were deemed
worthy of investigation.
