LOSSES IN NEW YORK r
New York May 2 The annual report
for 1905, issued by Fire Marshall Peter;
Seery, shows that there were during the
year 1905 in Manhattan, the Bronx and
Richmond 7,750 fires, an increase of 201
fires from 1 904. The total loss by fire
during the year is estimated at $5,27 1 ,
955, an increase of $741,012pver 1904.
The average loss per fire was $680.25,
an Increase of $90.05. Of the total
number of fires there ' were 855,7 in
which the losses were $10 or less. In
regard to the causes of the fires the re
port makes the . following interesting
statement. The principal causes were:
Carelessness with matches. 757; child
ren playing with" matches. 244; careless
ness in the use of liflhted cigars, 404
overheated stoves and stovepipes, 444
chimney fires and defective flues, 459;
bonfires and brush fires, 476; carelessness
in use of candles, 256; gaslights in con
tact with curtains, 17; kerosine lamps
exploding, 165. 1 '
The report says, that not a few fires
are caused through apparent carelessness
in the use of candles in religo.s services
in homes, draughts from open windows
blowing curtains against the lighted can
dies. Marshal Seery also says: "1 was
-also surprised to find mapy cases among
the Doorer classes where three or more
persons in the same suite of rooms had
each a Sre insurrnce policy. It appears
that if insurance companies were not so
lax in respect to "risks issued" there
would be a material decrease in the num
ber of fires.
