Columbus, o., January 24-State
Fire Marshal John w. Zuber filed his
annual report with Governor Harmon

The amount received on January Is,
1911, through the tax on fire insur-
ance companies, together with the
balance on hand, will give the depart
ment total of $7OS54 upon which 10
work AS the result OF investigations
by the force the total convictions
amounted to 80, and at the close of the
year there we're 80 cases pending.
OF the convictions the motives of
the arsonists were there: Pyroman-

ance companies, T. During the exis-
tence of the department the losses Of
fires from incendiarlsm had been re-.

The recommendations Of Marshal

During the year 1909 b38 fires in
Ohio were caused through careless
ness with matches, and 1872 OF such
fires were directly traceable to chill
sdren playing with matches. The to-
