An analysis oi the flrgiggge. throughout the ‘Province for the year i928 shows a considerable de- crease from the alarmingly high losses of 1922, and a slight decrease from the 192i figures. Last year's losses are still. ‘however, in excess of the 1920 losses. and of the aver- age preceding years. and show a

‘ total insurance loss oi $108,065.44,

and a total property loss of $204,- 095.96. which amounts to a iper cspita loss of $2.32,, as against $4.23 in 1922, $2.60 ln 1921 and $2.17 in

= 1920. The 1922 lire losses were the

heaviest recorded here within the knowledge of Mr. E. H. Beer. Pro- vincial Fire lilliarehal. to whom the Guardian is indebted for the in- formation herein published. These totalled an insurance loss oi’ $220,- 248.49 and a property loss of $375,- 195.20, incurred in 134 fires. Last year's fires were 124 in number. There were 118 lflres i-n 1921 and 125 in 1920. .
