FIRE LOSS
PAST THREE MONTHS

Fires in West Virginia during the
past three months increased TO such
an extent that more than $3.50 900
loss was sustained whereas the an
nual fire loss for the state at large
per annum is approximately $4,000
600 according to a statement made
by State Fire Marshal John s. Ho-
ran. In other words more fires and
larger fires have occurred during
three months than ordinarily occur
in six months, he said. The state
department places this loss to the
fact that the recent cold waves
caused overheating furnaces and
fiues in many instances and large
fires resulted. Mr.. Horan has just
returned from Wheeling where he
investigated several fires and will
now resume his fire hazard inspec-
ton in the southern part Of the state.
