It has an aver age of I 500 fires per day, or more than one a minute, a daily loss of A value equal to one quarter the total for all the new buildings erected each year is thus destroyed, and in 1906 this propor tion rose to one-half. Every fire subtracts a definite sum from the national wealth through irretrievable loss. This country is proud of its petroleum, gold, silver, and copper production, but its fire-tax - the direct cost of its fires and the incidental expenditures resulting therefrom - consumes as much wealth as these four industries together create. Fire is one of the great outstanding economic factors of American civilization, and, in consequence, fire insurance has become one of our most familiar institutions.
