Over a Million in
Fire Losses Saved

Fire took 80 per cent less property
away from the citizens of Louisiana
in 1919 than it did in 191s-thanks
to the diligent efforts of LOuisiana's
firemen, and William Campbell. fire
marshal.
The saving from the amount Of
the 1918 Louisiana fire loss would be
sufficient almost to pay for bridge
across the Mississippi at New Or
leans, or more than enough to bring
natural gas here from the Houma
fields. In 1918 fire consumed $4,,
674,627 in Louisiana property.
