Sept. 2D. —Following the proclamation by Governor Cameron Alor rison last Aveek. calling on the people of North Carolina to observe Tuesday. Oc tober 9th. anniversary of the great Chi cago fire of 1871, in Avliich 200 persons lost their‘lives and 17.000 buildings Avert* destroyed at a loss of 8190,000,000, as Fire Prevention Day. State Insurance Commissioner Stacey AA'ade today an nounced spine interesting statistics con •erning fire losses. Air. AA’ade has asked that not only the day of October 9th, but the Aveek of October N-13, as Avell, be set aside for an anti-lire prevention campaign. "The object of Fire Prevention Week.” he said, "is to imprest upon the com munity at large the necessity of con serving the resources of the nation by preventing fires. The campaign is na tional in scope, and it is hoped will be the means Avbcreby permanent lire pre vention campaigns avill be inaugurated in all municipalities.” The following statistics concerning fire losses Avere given by Air. AA’ade: "The national fire loos last year Avas $.■>21,890,000, an amount equal to the to tal cost of the Panama canal. This represents an average per capita loss of $4.75. Avliich is a figure greater than Over recorded 'previously—including 1903. the year of the San Francisco conflagra tion. “North Carolina’s per capita loss of $2.43 or half the national average, is a tribute to our efforts in fire prevention, but it is still nearly four times greater than the per capita loss in Great Bri tain. "The total monetary loss, including the fire loss, cost of tire protection, loss of business due to fire, etc., is over $1,090,- 000.009 annually. "There Avere 4,505 fires in 1922. caus ing a lo*»s of over SIO,OOO as com pared with 4.098 in 1921 and 3.457 in 1920. Til ore were 43 fires in the ‘mil lion-dollar-or-above' class—an average of almost one each week. “The average* per capita fire* loss in Great Britain last year Avas 72 cents, which is a reduction from previous figures. In France, Germany and Italy losses are still lower. Some reasons for our high loss figure are traditional nat ural* carelessness, poorer construction and lack of personal liability, under the law, for negligence in causing fires. "Fire losses in cities over 20.000 pop ulation Avhere chambers of commerce have permanent fire prevention commit tees averaged $3.27 per capita, in 1922. rts compared Avith the national average of $4.75. "Fires kill 15,000 of our citizens an nually. according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters.” Stantly County Exploited. Charlotte Observer.
