TENNESSEE PER CAPITA
FIRE LOSS is HEAVIEST
Fire Prevention Commissioner Goes
to National Convention.

Nashville, Sept. 11.-Fire Proven
,tion Commissioner of Tennessee,
Chas. w. Schuyler is in Chicago at
tending the convention of the An
nual Fire Marshals' Association of
North America.
Mr.. Schuyler has already attained
reputation on fire prevention work
by his energetic work in furthering
the present fire prevention law of the
State in the last Legislature. This
law is said by other State authori-
ties to be the most modern law on
the subject of any State in the
union. Mr.. Schuyler is on the pro-
gram to address this association on
Suggestions for a National Clean
Up Week, and the State Building
Code"
The Fire Marshals' association of
North America has advanced pro-
gressive ideas and methods towards
the elimination of fire hazards in
America" said Mr. Schuyler before
leaving. "The fire waste in this
country is enormous, running
around $75O,0O0,O0O annually, COW
ering the losses proper, upkeep of
fire departments, fire fighting appa-
ratus and business. If the cost of
solicitors and other expenses of the
fire insurance companies were added,
it would bring the combined cost to
the people of America right at a.
billion dollars, for it requires forty
per cent of the insurance premiums
for the maintenance of the fire in
surance companies and sixty per cent
of the total premiums are returned
to the assured for the losses attained
by them. A loss by fire is gone for
ever--it is that much of the nations |
value wiped off the earth and can
never be returned. Tennessee has
the highest per capita loss of any
State in the Union, or any country
in the world. The cost to every man, |
woman and child in the State of
Tennessee is $5.1S per annum. Sew
en- of the largest European countries |
have per capita loss of but thirty
three cents; England, fifty-four |
cents; Germany, nineteen cents;
Austria, thirty cents; Sweden, thir-
teen cents; the Netherlands, twelve
cents, and Switzerland, four cents.
Herbert M. Nelson, of the United
States geological survey, reported
that the loss of fire in one year in
this country amounts to one-half |
the value of the buildings construct
ed annually, tax upon the people
the total value of the gold,
silver, copper and petroleum pro-
duced in the United States and it's
territories each year"
The fire loss in America covering
he last ten years exceeds the gold ]
leld by the United Kingdom, Aus |
Italy and Spain; is 6
wo hundred million in excess of the
otal authorized capital stock of all S
he National Banks in America; it a
xceeds the combined annual value v
f this country's six staple crops of v
Wheat, oats, potatoes, rye, barley and
is greater than the an n
ual value of the cotton crop, and Z
Xperts say that the more than
lightly per cent. of the fires in this
ountry are caused by carelessness
nd easily preventable.
Mr.. Schuyler said that he expect
to obtain information from the p
xperts in attendance at this con- "
ention that would be invaluable to
he State in progressive methods of II
