If you are running an automobile and have a collision with another car and the collision was due to your carelessness you are liable for the damage to the other car. If you are riding on a railroad train and meet with an accident due to shortcomings on the part of the railroad you can sue and get damag es. If while walking on the street you slip and fall on the sidewalk on ice or fruit peelings, there through the carelesness of the owner of the prop erty in front of which you fall, you may recover damages. Now, if these conditions are just, why should you not be held respon sible if a fire due to your carelessness damages your neighbors' property. The idea of personal responsibili ty for fires is spreading rapidly thru out the United States and it is certain that within the next few years states will adopt laws holding to personal .responsibility the individual whose carelessness causes damages to a neighbor's property and assessing also the careless individual for the cost of putting out the fire. The principle on which this is bas ed is that no man has a right to en danger his neighbor's property. He may have a right to destroy his own property if he will. There is no law which can prevent his doing so if he chooses. The laws which forbid a man setting fire to his property are based on the idea that by so doing he is endangering the property of others. The law does not care what he does with his own. ERNEST E. DITCH Fresh Meats PHONES Market 147, Résidence 153 Prompt Service Quick Delivery Now it is time to go a step further and put it up to the individual whose carelessness causes a fire to pay for the cost of putting it out. This principle has been established in the state of New York where the fire chief has brought suit successful ly against several firms and collected the cost of extinguishing fires on their premises, where it was shown that the risk had been called to the attention of the firm before the fire. In Pennsylvania a new law goes a step further. In this case the owner is called upon to pay for the us* of the water used in putting out the fire, for the salaries of the men, for the wear and tear on the apparatus; rental for the apparatus and 10 per cent additional for overhead expen ses. It remains now to be seen how far the courts will go to uphold a law of this kind. That there is justice there can be no doubt. It is said tshat 90 per cent of all fires except those due to light, ning, incendiarism or explosions, which might be classed as unavoid able, are due to carelessness. The carelessness may be an act of omis sion or commission. When laws of this kind are en forced, there can be no doubt that people will take care to see that the fire hazzards are removed. They will see that rubbish is not allowed to accumulate in closets, under stairs and in cellars. They will see that matches are properly safe-guarded that electric wiring is carefully look ed after regularly and that chimneys are kept clean, that gasoline is pro perly stored and used and that all other common risks are removed.
