In an article in the Monetary Times Mr. J. Grove Smith makes some rather startling comparisons of fre losses in Canada and â€" England. Taking a list of ten Canadian cities and ten English cities he finds" the average per capita fire loss in Canâ€" ada in 1912 to be $3.36, and _ the number of fires per 1000 to be 39. In England the per capita fire loss was $0.149, and the number of _ fires per 1000 .67. If intcrest upon debentures and de preciation is included, the average cost per head . of popniatmn of the communities protected by this ex penditure of public monev is approxi mately $2.20 per annum. The annual direct erpense of â€" brigade mainten ance is a tax apon the protected citiâ€" zen of $1.06 pert annum.

Canada‘s average fire loss per capâ€" ita, however, for the past three years was $2.90, and the number of â€" fires 1.16 per 1000 of population.

At time Mr. Gillen pointed out was still under consideration, "but nothing ever came of it. At that time Mr. Gillen pointed out that one of the chief objections was to the voltage wires having a possible draw back with the steam roads. Mr. J. A. Scellen said that about three years ago the matter was a very live one with the Berlin Board oi Trade, and the advantage to acâ€" crue to Berlin as well as the outâ€" lying points was appreciated. At that time the committee had the G. P. & H. in mind and made _ every effort to uase the G.T.R. electrify these lines.

While the inconvenience is felt in Blair it is not as great as it is to the people of Doon for residents of Mair have only one mile to go to the G. P. & H. line. Mr. Homer Watson of Doon expresâ€" sed the opinion that while these muâ€" nicipalities might like to see the lines electrified the G. T. R. might reply that there is no business, whereas the G.T.R. seems to have the idea that they should do ‘nothâ€" ing to make business, but he thought if they went after pusiness they could get it.

The elecâ€" trification of the road would be good !for smatier places as well as for 'Berhn and Galt.â€" Howeyer, he would think Berlin would get a little the ‘bet,ter of it by having a down town service, while Galt would not have this. In a great degree the electrifiâ€" cation of the road would do â€" away with a great deal of annoyance, for along George St. in Galt where the tracks run, it has largely been built up as a residential section, and the 'snnoke and noise has become a nuisâ€" ance.
