WHEREAS, It is becoming ever more evident to all of us that
the great losses which we are constantly sustaining from Are are In a
targa measure, preventable through proper precautions; and,
.WHEREAS, There Is a growing tendency to study the problems
of fire destruction with a view to combatting it scientifically; and,
WHEREAS, We of Oregon should bo especially interested bo
canse of the great losses locally austained, which bring our estimated
'per capita annual" fire loss far in excess of the 12.32 per capita loss of
the United States jas a whole, and this in comparison with a per capita
annual losa In European countries of less than SO cants; there having
been in Oregon lniiae year 1914 over $4,000,000 worth 'of property
destroyed by flre;'aad,
WHEREAS, It Is fair to believe that by giving the matter proper
thought and precautionary attention our losses may be measurably
lessened, and as Interest In the entire problem can welt be focused
through setting aside a day each year when It shall be especlajly con
sidered, aa is done In many other states.
THEREFORE, I do hereby designate October 9, 1915, as Fire Pre
vention Day in Oregon, that day being the anniversary of the disas
trous Chicago Are of 1872. And on Fire Prevention Day, I urge that
effort be made to organise our state, in an efficient campaign against
the common enemy of nil unrelegated fire. And It would seem to me
well worth while that, so far as possible. Instruction concerning the
dangers of fire and the methods of fire pretention be given in tha
schools on that day and on other days as well. And I would further
urge that on Fire Prevention Day individuals and communities under
take domestic and. municipal houso cleaning and Inspection, to the
end bat inflammable rubbish may be removed; that heating appli
ances and chimneys be examined and placed In safe condition; tha
the occupants of hotels, factories and Institutions housing numbers
of people be safeguarded; that fire drills be established and operated;
and, In short, that every encouragement be given to a healthy public
preparation for the lessening of our fire losses, through Intelligent
and adequate fire prevention.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 2 2d day
