Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prevention of Fire in Boston: Report of the Committee on Fire Prevention of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
It is hard to understand how this attitude can prevail, when it is so clear to one who devotes a moment's thought, that the fire waste is a real and irretrievable loss, the destruction or poperty reducing by just so much the aggregate wealth of the community. This loss falls upon every member of the community in the form of increased taxes, increased insurance rates, increased cost of build ing materials, increased rent, and, sooner or later, may fall upon any one in the more obvious form of direct personal loss due to a fire in his own home or place of business.
