By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Three hundred and thirty-four thousand dwellings at $5,000 each, sufficient to house 1.700,000 persons, could be built with the money lost in fires In the United States from 1915 to 1920, according to figures given out today by the National Board of Fire Underwrittrs. The board places the national fire loss during the five-year period at $1,672,722,677, based on an examination of over 3.000,000 reports of tires. Matches and smoking hazards are held responsible for $90,000,000 of losses, according "to the report. Next comes electricity, 'which caused fires cost $86,000,000. Stoves, furnaces, boilers and pipes caused a loss of $63,000,000; defective chimneys and flues. $61,000,000 and "exposure," which means communicated fires, $233,000,000. - As a basis of comparison, the un
derwriters figure that the five-year
lire losses of the nation would build $5,000 homes for the entire population of Nevada, Wyoming and Connecticut. They would erect 16,722
nouses ai iitu,uuu each; or
would purchase 16,722 grams of radium, the costliest of earths products.
