Estimated at More Than One Billion in Five Years New York, Feb. 3.—Three hundred and thirty-four thousand dwellings at $5,000 each, sufficient to house 1,700,000 persons, could be built with the money lost in fires in the United States from 1915 to 1920, according to figures given out today by the Na- tional DBoard of Fire Underwriters. The board places the national fire loss during the five year period at $1,672,722,677, based on an examina- tion of over 3,000,000 reports of fires. Matches and smoking hazards are held responsible for $90,000,000 ot losses, according to the report. Next comes electricity, which caused fires costing $86,000,000. Stoves, fur- naces, boilers and pipes gaused a loss of $63,000,000; defective chimneys and flues, $61,000,000 and “exposure,” which means communicated fires, $233,000,000. As a basis of comparison, the un- derwriters figure that the five-year fire losses of the nation would build $5,000 homes' for the entire popula- tion of Nevada, Wyoming and Con- necticut. They would erect 16,722 school houses at $100,000 each; or would purchase 16,722 grams of radium, the costliest of earth's products. Sixty-seven per cent., $856,000,000, of the total loss was classed as strictly or partly preventable. New York suffered most heavily with a loss of $164,000,000; Pennsyl- vania came second with $97,000,000; Illinois third, with $88,000,000. TFol- low New Jersey, with $70,000,000; Ohio with $63,000,000; Texas, .$569,~ 000,000; Massachusetts, $58,000,000 and California, ,000,000.
