When a rheap or old building take
fire the remark is often heard that " it
ought to burn dow n" or " let it go."
This is a mischievous sentiment and it
often does harm. Such remarks have
their influence on the firemen and It
often happens that in this way fires get
headway that create a vast deal of de

kane to burn down. Everybody's prop
erty should lie equally protected.
