to property of his neighbors. A landlord Insures in one policy the following items: (1) His own property; (2) His responsibility damage to the property of tenants; (3) His responsibility for damage to the property of his neighbor. Why should this be so when fifty per cent of our fires are due to gross carelessness? Why should we pay our immense loss by the fie when practically two-thirds of it is preventable by the exercise of proper care and foresight? The loss by fire in France is about one-eighth of that in the United States. In North Carolina less than fifty per cent of our property is portected by insurance. A loss here falls heavily on our citizens and the State, county and cities in loss of taxable property, whether the fire is caused by malice, carelessness or thoughtlessness.

Individual Responsibility for fires. Can any real progress be made in checking our fire waste, enormous as it is, until the man who has a fire ceases to be regarded as an unfortunate and is looked upon as a public offender? Individual legal responsibility for loss by fire seems a drastic corrective, but is it not the real remedy? Under the Code Napoleon in France a man is held responsible for fire damage to his neighbor. Each fire is investigated and the owner or tenant of any premises must show he is not responsible for a fire starting in any premises occupied or owned by him. In France a tenant usually insures by one policy the following items: (1) His own-pi5eriy, (2) The risk of responsibility for damage to the building; (3) The risk of responsibility fdr damage Viverette.
