To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He quotes from a Federal Report of 1907 that the cost of maintenance of Fire De- 246 WORLD'S INSURANCE CONGRESS partments in the larger European cities, having an aggregate pop- ulation of 15, 074, 432, was $3, 069, 668, or 20 cents per capita. For the cities of the United States having a combined popula- tion of 29, 250, 000 the cost of fire departments in 1912 was $47, - 385, 546 or $1. 62 per capita, yet our fire loss is one-quarter of a billion dollars annually while theirs is one-sixth of ...this amount, or $40, 000, 000 annually. The reason for this great difference, Mr. Holler explains, is largely because they have paid more attention to fire prevention than we have, that they have built substantial cities, have brought, by adequate laws on the subject, the people to a full knowledge of their moral and financial responsibility for careless fire waste, and thereby have minimized fire loss, cost of insurance and by that much reduced the cost of living. It would seem the fire departments of our American cities would bring better returns for the large sums spent for their main- tenance if they could be made more efficient along the lines of fire prevention than they now are.
