DOES FIRE PREVENTION PREVENT?

The recent widespread celebration Of Fire Prevention
Day October 81 throughout the United States gives point
to the query as to whether fire prevention is really max
ing good in actual results Here part of the answer:
New York City in 1915 had l,00 fewer fires than n
1914 and its aggregate losses showed decreased Of g.
460 1913 from those Of 1914 It's per capital loss O6
or 80 cents less than known before It's loss per fire
was 4058 less than the lowest previous record These
results are generally attributed New Yorks fire pre-
yention work
Chicago has Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public
Safety with extensive activities Translated into figures
il appears that Chicago in 1915 enjoyed decrease Of
38 in the number of fires and Of S906605 in total fire
losses as compared with 1914
Boson's metropolitan district Gncludng the City Of
oston and 25 neighboring owns has made remarkable
showing since appointing its fire prevention commission
er in 1914 Comparative figures for the single month o.
June are as follows In 1914 1887 alarms in 1915 93:

Cincinnati is interested in fire prevention. It's 1871
figures of 1873 fires and 5000 3 in Losses reduced
to 1708 fires and $365570 in losses for 1915 reduction
Of 20 per cent in the former item and nearly per cent
in the latter.
Milwaukee now carries on fire prevention otl u,1da,

only 1879 fires, against 1851 in 1912 - 62Qaa Of

as against $777946 in 1915 $953477 1915. Milwaukee
is convinced that fire prevention pays.
The above however, are few of the bright spots and
represent bur the nerest beginning. 1t never be
overlooked that fire prevention is still confronted by
enormous task. Aomentary enthusiasm because Of re-
auctions effected in few cities is somewhat dampoGcd BY
The reflection that 1915 the total of $780,
