FIRE Loss GROWS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
INCREASE IN STATE FOR 1921 WAS
coRDING TO REPORTS.
WADE IS MUCH DISAPPOINTED
Outside Of Five Towns, There Was No
Single Fires In All Others That
Reached a Damage Of $4,000.
Raleigh.

Raleigh.
The annual fire loss grows despite
efforts of experts and fire prevention
officials, says Stacy w. Wade, in
surance commissioner making public
the annual loss by fire in North
Carolina for 1921 totaling $7463,20
against a loss OF $4,032, 900 in 1920
The fire loss for the United States and
Canada was $330,S55,6 25 in 1920 and
1882, 654950 in 1921.
Ii, this connection, Commissioner
Wade cites a curious instance of the
law of averages. The loss for the
first six months In North Carolina
for 1921 was $3,714,112 and for the
United States and Canada $163, 1885,
300. For the last six months, the
loss in North Carolina was S3,649,095
and in the United States and Can
ada $16S, 728,6O0. The per capita loss
in North Carolina for 1921 was $2,9O5
and in the United States and Canada
was the same, $2.905.
While Commissioner Wade does not
dissemble his disappointment at the
big total of last months fire record,
he serenely chuckles over the fact
that for the state at large, the
showing is splendid He says the Of
fetal reports from all towns and coun-
ties show fewer casualties by fire
or fireworks to persons or property
than was ever reported before for a
Christmas month.
And outside of five towns, there
was no single fire in all the towns
and cities of the state where the fire
loss reached $4,000 and in a large
number there was not a fire during
the entire month. The bulk of the
loss was occasioned by nine fires
aggregating loss of $S572S5 as
against only 1851 ,6O7 for the entire
balance of the state

1000 Miles In 1922" is Slogan.

|
The North Carolina Highway Com
mission put under contract last year
the construction Of more than 700
miles of highways and the 1922 slogan
is to add 1000 miles to this fiye-year
total.
The sky's the limit now, SO to
speak, In carrying forward the states
bodybuilding campaign and the road
builders are going after the big job to
clear it up ahead of time. They have
taken Governor Morrison and the
council of state at their word, in their
promise to provide the money, and
1000 miles 1922" was decided upon as
the goal at last weeks meeting Of the
highway commission.
The commissioners appointed by
Governor Morrison during the early
months Of his administration, got to
work with Chairman Frank Page last
April. With $50t00,00O assured,
thorough highway organization, and
the entire state in a receptive mood
for bodybuilding activities, the COM
mission opened the throttle and sarted
to work. And work has been going on
to an excessive degree throughout the
months, with the result that the Or
ganization has some figures which talk
in concrete asphalt and sand.clay
language.
These figures show that $12,941 900
in highways are under contract, and
that $S,S77S29 have been con-
tracted for to be paid within two
years. The total mileage is placed at
1872, nearly 500 of which have been
added since last May.
