BUILDING STATISTICS


Average annual fire loss for last five years to 1926: $317,204.03. Per capita fire loss:


1922 $1.21


1923 2.11


1924 $7.58 1925 3.59


1926 $2.10


A heavy per capita fire loss in 1924 was due to an unusual conflagration which had not occurred in a number of years prior to that time, nor since that time.

Garbage removal, and street flushing are general city charges and are not assessed against the individual property owners.


A vivid comparison of Fort Wayne's advantages to an industry from a taxation basis is indicated by the following table in which 1920 population figures are used as a basis, and the actual tax rates applied in 1927 and 1928 together with a valuation basis, shows graphically the actual tax paid on improved properties of a value of $10,000, $25,000, and $100.000.


It will be noted that Fort Wayne is the lowest city in this tabulation.
