emphatcally the most prolific caure of the
fire waste in the United States and it is need
less and useless to lay the blame of this or at
tribute its source to the contractor or builder.
He is but the victim of Americas demand for
haste and the universal greed for the al-con-
trolling dollar. In the true and final analysis,
the fault is attribute to the weakness and in
competency of law-makng bodies and the care
lessness of the people in granting legislative hon
ors to undeserving aspirants for their favors.
There is not city in any state whose resi-
dents do not protest against the cost of insurance
when they come to the payment of their pre-
miums and yet these same citizens are allowed
to construct buildings and erect dwellings, that
are constant menace to their own property and
source of danger to that of their neighbors, and
were it not for the loyal efforts of the insurance
companies themselves TO protect the public and
reduce the cost of insurance, even the laws now
in force, inadequate as they are, would never
have been written.
For illustration, the automatic sprinkler is
almost the last word in fire protection, and GER
tainly is one of the most efficient fire-fighting
adjuncts in modern use. and yet there is no
really effective ordinance regulating their Install
