This fire had a simple. origin when Mrs, ,.: O'Leary's cow kicked over a lighted.lantern. Before the fire had:been extinguished -- property valued at $170,000,000 had been destroyed, 500 lives lost, .and CROMRERES. of families left homeless. a" " 'Thé losses suffered by owners and- ; tenants of property is only a part of the ; cost of fires to those immediately concerned. For many cases - loss 'of income - unemploy=«s ment - human suffering - or tragedies are experienced, .It is a m.tter of record that 43% of fire-gutted plants never resume operation. The blotting~out of our industry. affects practically every business, loss of, payroll, and relocation of employees for other employment. -- Few people realize that everyone shares the cost of fire, in,increased living costs, higher rentals, insurance rates and. taxes. It is thus a matter of concern to all . that fire prevention is practiced every day in Terrace Bay.
