HONS TOLD OF
HUGE FIRE Loss

Over fifteen millions Of dollars
was lost last year in property
waste and yet to me the property
waste is not as great an item as
the lives that are lost or the
misery caused to families of
workers thrown out of work by
flres, said H. Shiveley, member
OF the Fire Protection burau of
san Francisco, at the weekly
luncheon of the Lions club today.
VI all the fires in. the United
States last year, at least 95 out of
every hundred were caused by
Carelessness, he said. Another
striking statement was that Amer
leans are paying 10 times as much
as EUROPE in taxes which are hue
10 rlre waste. He also laid stress
upon the position of the fire chief
VI the cities by saying that the
most important man in the city
s the fire chief. He urged that
eaeh home establish a fire depart
.nent and do every thing possible
70 remove the dangers.
H. Sykes, Portland, deputy
s'ate fire marshal, Mrs. A. Wood,
assistant to the deputy fire
marshal, Fire Chief f'Buck'' Hut
'on' and Mayor Halvorsen, were
siso present at the meeting.
