The fir* losses in the United States
and Canarta during the' #ionth ol Sep- :
tember, 1913, as compiled from the
carefully kept record* of the Journal
of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
ofNew York, aggregated $14,919,390, as
compared with $13,779,300 for the same
month in 1912, and *11,333,250 foi 1911.
As the losses during only the first nine
months 6f this year have already reach
ed a total of $178, 456,560, catching up
with the figures for the same time of
1912, despite the exceptional heavy
lotu.es of the first two months of that
year, this lamentable showiug should
elicit the cooperation of all public spir
ited citizens in the recent active cam
paign for the prevention of the useless
fire waste.
