NOTE AND COMMENT imposed on every individual in Canada. So distibuted, it amounts to $11.25 per capita of the population and constitutes a tax of more than $50 per annum upon the average family. lEven that does not represent the full extent of the burden. Thére is the loss of human lives, over 400 per annum, the thousands of cases of injury, loss of productive capacity by capital and.the loss of employment by labor, running up altogether to an appalling sum. It is these considerations that have prmxpted] the Dominion Fi{e Commissioner to make a general appeal for sustained coâ€"operation by public bodies and property owners in meeting the problem. Almost ninety per cent. of the fire waste is readily preventable. Indifference, ignorance or crime, he insists, is responsible for practically every serious fire. Something is radically wrong in Canada, when in England, | France, Switzerland, Italy and Denmark, with | a combined population of 116,000,000 people, the aggregate loss in 1921 totalled less than! $67,000,000. Prompt and effective action is | needed to remove the reproach on Canada. I _ The bullétin expresses surprise that when all public bodies are making determined efforts to effect economy in expenditure, no great obâ€" ‘jection is in evidence towards the unnecessary burden imposed on the country at large through the wanton destruction'of property by fire. It points out that, taking the value of property destroyed, insurance premiums and the other incidental costs incurred for fire protectign, the total burder on the country is close to $100,000,000. That tremendous sum is paid directly by property owners, but is sybsequentâ€" ly, through the ordinary channels of commerce, recovery from business depression. It adds that when there is a deflation of urban real estate values and a substantial reduction in the costs of production, transportation and distriâ€" bution, corresponding to the decline in value of basic commodities, it will undoubtedly be reflected in the fire loss record. s _ Alarmed by the rapidly increasing fire \ over $45,000,000 and exceeded that of any preâ€" viouamhmhmuyolthceom.flu Dominion Department of insurance deems it incumbent to caliâ€"public attention to a situaâ€" tion that urgently requires a remedy. Officials dbothflue?dndmdpmmdddo’mm are in agreement that in ordér to deal effec. tively with the problem the public as a whole, and the citizens in particular, must be roused toim greater sense of individual responsibility for the existing conditions. That these are going from bad to worse is clearly shown by the figures for the first four months of the current year, the losses amounting to $19,â€" 206,000, or almost $5,000,000 per month. The bulletin of the Dominion Fire Prevention Asâ€" sociation, published by the Ottawa department, plainly states that the unpleasant fact must be facedâ€"that, in all probability, fires will conitinue to increase until there is a marked recovery from business depression. It adds ‘There is this to be said for seriously ill all the time. ally in the country to give every: individual About nine days of it. ‘The insurance authority says $,000,000 people in the United States are Therqmud_ agitation againat the police deâ€" FIRE: WASTE STILL INCREASING by !
