and their property against fire.
Mr.. Boney gives statistics show
ing that the state has made fine
progress in cutting down the

a million and a half dollars less

seven years; but, even so, it was
$4,000, 900, so evidently there is
much room for improvement.
Worse, Of course, was the loss of
life. Two hundred and seventy
one persons perished in fires in
North Carolina last year.

No deaths or injuries have been
reported so far along the Mississippi
river.

ways washed out and landslides
blocked travel.
