writers, in their latest statistics, have
estimated that Delaware is the third
highest in per capita loss from fire among
the States of the Union. Based on their
figures. the estimated fire loss In this city
for the year 1918 amounted TO Sou5,-
500. This was an increase OF s252,Suo,

tions OF this city the cause of such con-
ditions. the methods most practical and
efficient IN their elimination, ire pre-
vention in the home through education

,icitv. the location and elimination of fire
hazards of all kinds and, IN general, the
thorough investigation OF local fire con-
ditions and the formulation and execution
of the best plan available for the elimina-
tion of conditions dangerous to life or
property"
