Pay For Carelessness

Laconically, the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters reports that estimated fire losses in
the United States in October. 1914, are up
percent over September, 1914, and 81. 500, 900,
or per cent ove- October, 1943 This is the
highest October loss since October 1881.
Losses in the twelve months ended with Oc-
tober 81, 1914, are estimated at more than $42O,
100000 as compared with s36' ,485 900 for the
year ended October, 1913.
Not only is the total fire loss rising, but the
rate of fire losses has reversed its long down
ward trend, with the result, as reported in
Business Week that some fire insurance COM
panies now report that their combined losses
and expenses are running around $1O5 foz
each premium dollar they are collecting.
If the present adverse trend in fire losses
throughout the country is not brought to halt
by greater public consciousness of the men.
ace Of fire, people must eventually pay more
for the protection of fire insurance. They will
unavoidably be assessed for gross carelessness
