The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1922-08-04

Maryland stands twentieth among
all of the states in the amount of loss
by fire and the figures quoted should
be increased by about $50 to cover
losses not reported to the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
The states losses during the five
years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive av-
eraged S4,23O,O92 per annum. If the
total of $21 ,150,46O could have been
used instead of wasted it would have
built 1920 houses at $4,000 apiece
Sufficient to furnish homes for 81
$50 people, or nearly the population of
Annapolis and Frederick, or it would
have built 2,115 miles of good maca-
dam roads at $4,000 a mile.
study of such figures indicates
the need of public education in fire
prevention. 1t should be realized that
property destroyed by fire represents
an utter and irretrievable loss to the
people as whole, while the inexcus-
able toll in human life and suffering
c1n hardly be computed.

ARE WE BURNING UP MARYLAND!
IN FIVE YEARS $21,15O, 400 WORTH
OF PROPERTY DESTROYED BY
FIRES WHICH WERE LARGELY
PREVENTABLE

During the five years ending with
1920, fire losses in Maryland caused
the destruction of property valued at
the astonishing total of $21 $50, 400,
according to figures made public by
the National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, which compiled the statistics
from it's Actuarial Bureaus records.
There figures reveal, in a startling
way, the price being paid by the state
for public ignorance and carelesSnesS
in handling fire hazards.
The causes are classified under
three headings, of which twelve are
designated as strictly preventable'
with a total of $4,513,940 or 21.3 per
cent of the whole; nine are designated
as partly preventable," the aggre-
gate being SIPS 34 or 1871 per cent
of the complete loss, and in addition
there are those listed in the unknown
column. which total $9,50S,0S6 or 1874.
The unknown losses may be con-
sidered as largely preventable since, if
determined, they would have been dis
tributed among the other causes.
In Analysing the figures, it is found
that while Exposure" which means
the effect of communicated fires, was
responsible for the heaviest loss, ST.
SS2,S71. the principal specific cause
of fire was electricity" with a toll of
$1,53S, 301. This indicates how the SAT-
est form of power and light is abused
in MARYLAND as a result of careless
ness. Next in Importance, as causes
of fire, were Notwithstanding" ST.
10S,150. then sparks from machin-
cry" $S76,439 and then defective
chimneys and flues," $S20,325.

were as follows:
