stouffville april 19 1923 duty its a patriotic to prevent fires if we were to consider that every fire is a crime in our country as it is in some countries in europe and if these in whose homes barns or places of business where fires originate should be held responsible for their acts when those acts result in injuring their neighbors or are the result of your carelessness or culpable neglect there would be fewer fires the fire tax would be less and canada would be richer to the extent of several millions of dollars ever year the elementary principle of justice that an individual should be responsible to others for his acts when those acts result in injury to his neighbor is as old as the mosaic law the liability for fire is recorded in exodus xxii6 if a fire break out and catch in
