STATE OF' NORTH; CAROLINA
" V", ;. - EALEIG1I rvr-i v'---:
A Proclamation bythe Governor
The General Assembly of ninteen hundred and fifteen
amended the insurance laws of North Carolina, and, ' among
pther things, enacted: J , ' ' ' . v
"It shall be the duty of the Insurance Commissioner
and Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide
es far as practicable for the teaching 'of 'Fire Pre
rention' in the colleges and schools of the State, and,
If the way be open, to arrange for a text-boek adapted
to such use.- Also by adding tosaid section as section
four thousand seven hundred and twenty-ono (b) the
following: 'The ninth day of October of each and
very year shall be set aside and designated aa Fire
' Prevention Day, and the Governor shall issue a prtfcln
ination urging the people to a proper observance of
the said day, and its observance to the attention of the
; officials of the, municipalities of the State, and
especially to the firemen, and, where possible, arrange
Suitable programs to be followed in its observance.' "
. How, thirefore, I, LOCKE CRAIG, Oovernor of North
Carolina, m accordance with this statute, do issue thm my
PROCLAMATION, and I do set aside and designate
' v Monday, the 9th day of October, 1916, as
Fire Prevention Day
and do urge all the people to a proper observance of this day
i& obedience to the law of North Carolina. I urge the publift
schools or the State and the municipal officers thereof to give
proper and formal recognition of the day and its meaning, and
request the citizens generally to give special attcjptin on that
day to the condition of their premises, to the end niat.i$b.e waste
and loss of property and life by fire may be reduced in this
The loss by fire amounts approraixateiy' tfc three million
dollars a year in North Carolina. A large per cent of this loss
is nnnecessary and can be prevented. Human life, too, is
heedlessly sacrificed. ;
We should remedy the conditions that entail this enormous
expense and loss suffered, not- only bv those whose uronertv
find lives are destroyed, but by all citizens in the high rates of
nsuranee caused by unnecessary fires. The prevention of the
dless destruction of the fruits of our labor and of human
Jffe is a duty dictated by economy and humanity.
Done at our City of Raleigh, this tho
flixteenth day of September, in the year of
our Lorcl one thousand nine hundrod and
sixteen, and in 'tho one hundred and. forty.
first year of our American Independence.
