Less and the total loss 32 per cent. Less. And what is even better, our fire organization is much stronger as a preventive force than it has ever been, as well as more effective for fighting fires. The value of prevention is hard to measure, though a. Significant pointer is found in the statement that by promptly controlling 37 fires at a cost of property valued at was saved. The good work done by the local warden service is further indicated by the fact that no less than 45 per cent. Of the total number of fires were extinguished before they did any appreciable damage.
