Lessening in October Fire Losses
While there is a considerable reduction from last year's record for the same month, amounting in round numbers to about $4,000,000, yet the indications still point to the fact that 1923, with only two months remaining, will run far ahead of 1922 in the total fire losses. The losses for October, 1923, run about $3,000,000 less than for September, as will be seen by the accompanying table. The record for the ten months of 1923 and 1922 is as follows:
On the other hand the number of fires during the month of October whose losses equalled or exceeded $10,000 were the greatest for any month in the year with the exception of those of February and April, There were in October 467 of these fires against 335 in September, 365 in August, 357 in July, 341 in June, 421 in May, 497 in April, 450 in March, 474 in February and 439 in January, making a total of 4,146 for the year.
