In tho annual report of the Massachusetts Insurance Deportment, recently issued, nppear some very pertinent remarks respecting carelessness as the originating cause of llres and the'manner in which tho community should be protected, against such negligence. The remarks are made iu connection with the Salem conflagration, which destroyed property worth £2,800,000, and cost the insurance offices JE2.229.C00. Here _ tho ontbreak occurred in wooden buildings, where a hazardous business woe being carried on without proper safeguards, the water supply was insufficient .and fire-iighting facilities were inadequate. "Carelessness is one of the chief causes of the startins of flres," says ' the report, "and it is often of a criminal nature. But carelessness in respect to fires has been overlooked or excuswi by an indulgent public. A flro from that cause. may sweep away thousands of dollars of value, and tho person whoso carelessness is responsible escapes liability. But if through carelessness he runs into and damages an automobile or other property he must pay for it. Why not hold to account the person responsible for starting tho fire as well as the ono responsible for tho collision? This is done in some parts of Europe, and tho lire loss is small compared with ours. The justice of it i 6 beginning to take root in this country. Already the New York Courts have held a person liable in a. suit brought to recover the expense of the Firo j Department iu answering an alarm when tlio firo was due to the carelessness of i j tho insured. The careless and indifferent should be made to pay for their lack of consideration. Now it is paid Tor by others whose insurance rates arc increased to pay for the losses for which the careless arc responsible. If persons were presumed to intend the natural consequences . of their acts, and were held responsible ' there .wuiUd be less Iq W from J
