United States Fire Loss Huge

The steady increase from year to
year in the amount of property de-
stIoyeo by fire in this country pre-
sents one of the most serious prob
lens in our industrial scheme" said
w. ID. Mathews, superintendent Of
inspection OF the Chicago Underwrit-
ers' association, in discussing fire
waste statistics. This destruction
of millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty every year. taking along with
II a toll of hundreds OF lives. has
much to do with the high cost of Hv-
ing and of building materials and
threatens our commercial credit as
well as our claim OF intelligence.
Statistics show that the fire loss
in the United States and Canada in
the year 1877 was S6S.265,S00; in
1910 II was $234.47O.6 $50. The to-
tai loss for "a years was $4,974.OCS,-
175, an average of S145, 100000 a
year. These figures in effect are
stunning We can realize their real
extent when We comprehend that
with the "a years losses We could
construct IS Panama canals and
Chicago's appropriations from the
corporate purposes fund for three
years.
The devastaticns Of fire have laid
waste and destroyed property to such
an extent that We wonder how long
the resources of the country can
