surance Commissioner j. W. Blunt.
c. F. Merrill introduced the speaker
who talked most Understandings on
Fire Prevention He dealt with sta
tistical subjects somewhat showing
the real loss to the community
through disastrous CONGREGATIONS and
detailing the domestic fire loss as be-
ing much larger than the foreign fire
loss. He noted some of the most
common causes of CONGREGATIONS as
being defective ehimneys, wooden
shingles on the roofs and parlor
match and careless smoker, lightn-
ing, allowing rubbish to accumulate,
hazard of Indifference and friction
caused by poor paying business
against a healthy insurance policy.
Mr.. Blunt especially disclaimed
against the single brick chimney and
suggested a thorough inspection of
electric light wires within structures
and the placing of lightning rod pro-
tectors on buildings. Mr.. Blunt adj
vocated an automobile fire chemical
for the Skowhegan Fire Department
and that fire prevention be studied in
the public schools.

Company spoke on the needs of the
