safety. All of this work has but one
purpose to reduce the fire damage
to lives and property, and, conse
quently to reduce insurance rates.
One cannot say how much greater

saved thousands of lives and untold
millions of dollars a year in prop
erty values, in surance rates, In taxes
and in industrial losses.
