AGOOD FIRE RECORD

TIERE we're 1920 persons burned to death in this country last
year There were 1854 people seriously injured in fires. And
ofthose who died or who were injured 81 per cent were mothers
and little children.
And 80 per cent of all these fires that caused a financial loss of
two millions of dollars a day were due to carelessness or neglect.
The facts come from figures just presented at the National Fire
Marshais convention by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
And hidden away in the report It is stated that $50 homes are being
burned every day, at a loss of $2S9,000, the origin of 60 per cent Of
the fires being from trivial and preyehtahe causes, dropped matches,
lighted cigars and cigarettes, for instance.
p In the face OF such a national record, thai of Albuquerque il. the
matter Of fires, is matter of congratulaton. According to figures
prepared from the records by a local business man last week, our net
loss from fire 20 december /, had been less than 5000. No lives have
been lost here by fire. Our fire protection system is one of our larg-
est items Of municipal expense. But in the balance sheet for the
year II shows up as a mighty profitable Investment and a part of the
municipal machinery that we can afford to keep at the highest stage
Of efficiency.
The same national record, quoted above, points out that 80 per
cent cf American school buildings are fire traps. Here too, Albu-
querqne and likewise New Mexico, stands head and shoulders ahead
ofthe Older communities in the matter Of preeaution. There are few
himsy school buildings in New Mexico. Our public schools are
notably safe in the matter o, construction, wide Railways, ample ex.
its and fire escapes Moreoyef, the5fre drih has been enforced as a
part OF the regular work OF every school in the state, large or small
We have among us certain gloomy souls who are constantly
spouting and sputterihg about the evil conditions in our state, about
our shortcomings in edncation and government and public spirit, and
pretty much everything else. But as the facts and the records are
