New York, Feb. 9.-Durlng the FIVE
years ending with 1920, fire losses in
Vermont caused the destruction of
property ya.ued at the astonishing
total OF S4,3975S3. according to fig.
ures made public today by the Ma.
tional Board Of Fire underwriters,
which compiled the statistics from its
actuarial bureaus records. These
figures reveal, in startling way, the
price being paid by the state for pub
lie ignorance and earelessness in
fire hazards.
The causes are classified under
three headings, of which Il are desig
mated as Strictly preventable" " tn
total 0. sl.334.736, or 30i per cent
OF the whole: nine are designated as
party preyentable" the aggregate
be ng $1,SS6,O15. or 42S per cent OF
the complete loss, and in addition
there are those listed in the "un-
known" column, which total $1,176.-
1872, or 26S per cent The "un-
known" losses may be considered as
largely preyentable since, II deter.
mined, they would have been distri-
buted among the other causes.
In analyzng the figures, Il is found
that while exposure which means
I've effect OF communicated fires, was
responsible for the heaviest loss. 1858,
S73, the principal specific cause Of
fire was defective chimneys and fues
with a toll of S493, OO6. Next in import
ance, as causes OF fire, we're explos-
ions $4S2,si9, then matches-smok ng
S2s5,S49, and then stoves, furnaces,

The losses during the five years
were as follows:

Total s4S97, $50
Vermont stands i3d among all OF
the states in the amount of loss by
fire and the figures quoted should be
increased by about 25 per cent to
cover losses not reported to the Ma
tional Board Of Fire underwriters.
The state losses during the five
years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive
averaged sS79516 per annum II tie
total OF S4,S97 $50 could have been
used instead of wasted, It would have
built S79 houses at $4,000 apiece
(su fioient to furnish homes for a.
395 people, or nearly the populat on
of Spr rngheld), or It would have
built 4S9 10 miles of good macadam
roads at $4,000 a mile.
A study Of such figures indicates
the need of public education in FIRE
prevention II should be realized
that property destroyed by Gre rep.
resents an utter and irretrievable loss
to the people as a whole while the
inexcusable toll in human life and
suffering can hardly be computed.

Tuesday Morning Fire.

. Fire almost completely destroyed
the residence of Mrs. Nina Goss
Tuesday forenoon, leaving only the
gutted walls of the lower part Of the
house. The loss is estimated as be-
tween $500 and $1,750, with in
surance amounting to $1,000. Most
of the furniture and personal be-
longings Of Earl, Irby and Lance
Goss were saved, but some few ar
ticles were damaged by hurried
handling.
Irby Goss, who was away at the
time Of the fire stated last night that
work on new house would probab-
ly be started right away.
The blaze was first discovered by
employees of the Merchants Grocery
Company, across the street from the
Goss home, and seemed to come from
the roof, which gives rise to a be-
lief that the fire started from sparks
falling on the roof.
