here than for the first six months
of 1922, according to lose and in-1
vurance figures for the first haif
of the year just completed by Fire
Marshal Robert Rockwood.
Losses for the first six months
this year totalled $69,539 as com-
pared to 524.359 for the same pe- '
rio last year. Insurance compa-
nies paid out $51,589 to insured
fire losers during the January-

>11.444 for the same period in 1922.
Fires of unknown origin caused j
the greatest portion of the loss,
$61,108 being contributed through
them to ths total loss figure of

surance. Of these there were 14
during the six mnuntha. Sixteen
fires resulting from defective flue*
brought a loss of $2,896, of which
>2100 was recovered by insurance.
Tentative figures for July and
August, 1933, give losses of $649 and
