Prio-drich l’auisvo In “lntrodm-tmn to l'nimswmy' More Stringont Buildings Laws and Closer luspertion Required. During 1914 Canada's total of fire losses showed a considerable reduc- tion over 3913; yet it was in excess of that of 1912. One feature of the year’s fire re- cord which requires immediate at- tention is the large increase in the number of apartment house fires. No doubt part of this increase may be at- tributed to the proportionate growth in the number of apartment blocks being erected, -but there is a serious danger arising in our cities from the number of oneâ€"family‘houses or old buildings which are being converted into apartment blocks. without corre- sponding protection from fire or of the lives of the inmates from fire dan- ger. Stringent building laws should be provided c0~\. ering this transforma- tion process, and thorough inspection should he insisted upon both during the progress of reconstruction and at least. annually by 130111 the municipal- ty and the insurance companies in- tercstcd. From an analysis of the causes of tires for 1914 L011}? encouragement may be obtained in the belief that progress is being made in education along fire prevention lines. Careless- ness has always been a prolific cause of fire loss, and a reduction of tires attributable to this cause from 183 in 1913 to 127 in 1914 is appreciated. Attention must still be directed. how- ever, to the 30 losses caused by cigar- ette-smoking and cigar and cigarette stubs carelessly thrown away. it too easy for applicants to obtain insurance, and whether, as in the case of life. insuram-e companies, thorough examination of the risk involved and the remedying of any dangerous or abnormal fire conditions should not be insisted upon before a fire insur- ance policy could be legally issued. The mover. Mr. VVeichei. lives at Waterloo. Ont. in the lit-art of the German part of the. provim-e,’and is a hardware merchant. He was educat- ed at the Elmira public sr'hoois and was first returned to the House of Commons in 191] in the Conservative ‘interest. He has been mayor of Wat- erloo and is one of its most patriotic and progressive citizens. Too little attention is paid to the matltr of building inspection, with the result that overheated pipes and heating apparatus is a common cause, of fire With proper inspection this could not be, as 19;. :11 um. i i- 2- -- to prosecute for maintaining dan22r- ous fire conditions and all insurance policies are based upon Ult‘ sale (-(‘m- dition of heating and lighting equip- ment. It is a question whether fire insurance companies are not making More attention should also be paid to the interior construction and heat- ing of residential buildings. During 1914, no less than 750 dwellings were destroyed by fire, and of these a large proportion through forcing of the heating equipment. During January, 1915,‘no less than 66 fires were reported as caused by defective heating apparatus, 1] by defective wiring, and 19 from care- lessness with matches. â€"â€" Conserva- tion. The seconder of the address was Honore Achin, representative of the constituency of Labelle. which for- merly sent the Nationalist leader, Henri Bourassa, to the House of Commons. Mr. Achin is an advocate and was born in Montreal and educat- ed at Ste. Therese and practices his profession at Nominique, Quebec. He was elected to the House of Commons for Labelle in 1911 in the Conserva- tive interest. United For Canada. An interesting fact at the Opening of the Dominion House recently was that the address in reply to the Speech from the throne was moved and seconded by a German and a Frenchman resnectively. W. G. Weichel, ELF. for North Waterloo, a German by birth, was mover of the speech in reply. He is a thorough loyalist to Great Britain and the Empire and spoke for the vast majority of the German popu- lation of Canada. who are among the best and most respected citizens and loyal to British institutions, notwith- standing‘their love for the fatherland. Most' of them left Germany on ac- count of the war spirit that fills the military element there and especially the Prussian Junkers. That the gift of lit-r Royal High- ness the Duchess of Connaught of a box of maple sugar to every member of the first Canadian contingent has resulted in quite an unexpected boom to the industry throughout the 'Do- minion is shown in a cable received from Lord Stamfordham, secretary to His Majesty the King, notifying her royal highness that the Canadian product is to be found, not only on the royal table, but also in every hotel and large store in London. Prisoners of “far, 2,177. A return tabled in the Commons a few days ago by the Minister of Justice shows that since the outbreak of the war 2,177 Germans and Aus- trians have been taken into custody in Canada as prisoners of war. The detention camps are at Halifax, Que- bec. Kingston, Petawawa, Spirit Lake, Kapeeskasing. Brandon, Let-hbridge, Vernon and Nanaimo. The Maple Sugar Association, through Hon. Jos. E. Caron, Minister of Agriculture in Quebec, and G. Boyer, M.P., Rigaud. and other man- ufacturers, have also sent an official communication to the duchess, thanking her for having fostered in this manner the means of this new channel of trade. An engrossed ad- dress was presented a few days ago to her royal highness on behalf of the association.
