Suppose the Stock Fire Insurance com panies had not fostered fire prevention. What then would have been America's record of loss by fire? Frightful enough it is in spite of the efforts of the Stock Fire Insurance companies, working through the National Board of Fire Underwriters and its departments of Building Construction, Public Fire Protection, Engineering, the Arson Bureau, Underwriters' Laboratories, and other sources and avenues of activity. The reduction of the fire waste or the loss of life by fire was not primarily an insurance problem. Insurance companies must charge for insurance on a basis sufficient to cover losses and operating expenses, regardless of how great the losses may be. Therefore viewing the situation from their selfish interests only they need be no more concerned than are other industries in working toward a reduction of the fire waste. For the Public Welfare Ilowever, for the welfare of the country as a whole the 239 Stock Fire Insurance companies, members of the National Board, voluntarily undertook the task of beading up the forces opposed to the destruction of life and property by fire. Tlie results have been encouraging. People are building better. Obvious hazards are being removed. But there is pressing need for further improvement. Future progress in this work depends largely upon the degree of co-operation ex tended by you and others in tSe use of available safety devices and measures, and in the elimination of the many known hazards which continue to threaten life and property. Inquiries relating to this movement and to the various services provided for its ex tension are invited. mmmm KV THE NATIONAL BOARD.
