rurlantatin it
|ASTE is a principal element of cost.
America’s fire-waste is of war-time
ſº 3|| magnitude with no war to excuse it.
* Last year $500,000,000 in buildings and
forests vanished in smoke, following $500,000,000
the year before. Each citizen helps pay this
enormous bill. It is reflected in the price of
every article of use.
Most of this loss is as preventable as the
destruction, through negligence, of property and
human life on our highways. There can be only
one cure in either case, and that is care.
The General Assembly having so provided, I
designate Thursday, October ninth next, as
3fire fireuerttium ſlau
and recommend that an earnest effort be made
on that day to teach and practice ordinary care
with respect to fire and all other matters affecting
our mutual safety and well-being. I further
recommend that these efforts do not stop with
Fire Prevention Day. |
, Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this
A twenty-third day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine
*śl hundred and twenty-four and of the independence of the United States the
one hundred and forty-ninth.
By His Excellency’s Command: -1 ~2. CZ
Secretary.
