Minnesota Fire Losses
Materially Reduced
Annual Ash Heap Can be Still Fur
ther Reduced by Intelligent
Cooperation

The smallest fire loss in the his
tory of the State Fire Marshaps
office is the enviable record for the
year just closed. In keeping. with
the reduction in property loss is the
number of fires reported
For the year 1919 the total prop
erty loss by fire in Minnesota, as re-
ported to the fire marshal's depart
ment and verified by personal inspec-
tion, was only $780, 44, as against
S5,658,535 which, exclusive OF a loss
of s12,728,423, by reason Of the Tor
est fires in northern Minnesota, IS
the actual loss from preventative
causes the year previous. The grand
total for 1918 was $17,386,95S, the
major portion of which, as explained,
was invested in the forest fires OF
that year.
The number of fires reported and
listed during the year was only 2,16l
while 3,138 were registered for the
wear 1918. This later figure, how
ever is unfair in respect to COMPARE
son as it, too, was swelled by the
northern Minnesota forest fires OF
that year. To this one cause alone
635 fires were attributed. However,
there is a marked decrease in the
matter Of preventable causes.
Activities along fire prevention
lines in Minnesota began with the or
ganization of the fire marshal's de-
partment fifteen years ago. From its
inception as one Of the units Of state
government, education along the line
Of prevention has been part Of the
definite program Of the department

Coral Fisheries.

In consideration of its slow growth
the coral reefs are fished once only In
ten years, the fishing boats engaged In
this extremely lucrative business vary
ing in size from three to fourteen tons.
The most valuable fisheries are among
the coral reefs of Tunisia, Algeria, and
Morocco, the raw material going chief
" to Italy. The red coral of the Med
iterranean and the Red sea Is exported
in large quantities to India for the
manufacture Of ornaments and articles
Of personal adornment. The black coral
Of the Persian gulf and Great Barrier
veef is still more highly priced.

established by the department has
been of vast benefit in impressing
upon the public that fire loss is q
needless waste and is without excuse,
removing the cause Of fire has not
been without its good results. This
one aid to the decrease in fire loss
and the number Of fires as noted for
the year is that of inspections and
condemnations. During 1919, AT fire
hazards in the shape Of dilapidated
buildings and shacks were condemn
I'd by the department and the de-
molition and removal by the owners
made compulsory. This removal OF
local fire hazards and contributing
causes Of future fires was statewide.
AS to inspections Of properties which
carried with them in each instance
recommendations and orders calcu-
lated to increase their fire resisting
and safety features, the number was
in excess Of 5000. These inspections
included schools, theatres and public
buildings generally.
Carelessness in the home and OF
the individual is the contributing
agent of practically every fire re-
corded and too much stress cannot be
laid upon the need Of some law that

inal responsibility for such where II
really belongs. For a complete veri.
fication of this claim one has only t.
read the list Of fire causes as regis.
tered with the department and
printed in the annual report. De
fective flues contributed to no less
than 125 fires with a consequent loss
in property Of $174,045. Sparks
from soot-filled chimneys were re
sponsible for 213 fires and a loss Of
nearly 100000 in property and

the departments work really began
in 1911, when, by an act Of the legis-

thing in Gods clean out-of-doors.
All of this and more besides comes
