Fire May Result
In Damages

"Carelessness in burning fields OF
brush may result in payment OF
large damages, said Insurance
Commissioner John B. Centrum
this week.
Farmers and home owners
about this time of year, begin to
burn their fields and brush piles"
continued Mr.. Centrum. frequently
without taking the proper precau-
tions to see that the fires do not
spread"
Every spring fire companies are
busy answering calls to extinguish
brush fires. In a recent case tried
before Judge William H. Lawrence
at Towson, the owner of a barn was
awarded 100000 damages for the
destruction of his barn by fire start
ed on a neighbours property Judge
Lawrence stated that the greater
the danger of communicating fire
to the property of others, the more
precautions and the greater vigi-
lance will be necessary in order to
measure up to the requirements OF
ordinary care.
Commissioner Centrum strongly
urges that property owners take
the greatest precautions in burning
their fields and brush. If they dc
not, serious losses by fire may result
and the person responsible for the
blaze may be compelled to pay dam.
