As a result the National Board OF

resulting from the handling OF
gasoline from the point OF manu-
facture to the automobile tank are
remarkably few in comparison to
the industry's magnitude. An
analysis OF the S545,000,000 fire

handling matches and tobacco
caused more loss than anything
else, $30.2s1,00 Bad chimneys
and flues caused $22,746. 600;

Considering the enormous guam
titles of petroleum products that

and proves the effectiveness OF the
precautionary measures.
The public would further reduce
