boni'lthat an Increase lu the Insurance
iatea was not warranted, and that
such an action on the part of the un
derwriters would bo against the Inter
cuts of the city.
"Thafrt It," deciaied Chairman Dick
son, jumping to his ftet. "We are cry
ing ,1ust to put up Insurance ratep.
Kvery time there Is a lire of any mag
nitude here tin Insurance! men make
u great ado about the ineulclrncy ot
the fho department. Thoy Just want
on excuse to raise the rates. Let
them pit them up. Weil do as we did
before. Weil bring on a man who will
get up a mutual Insurntice company,
c.iiir firemen are a heroic lot of fellows,
and if there are any faults In the
department It Is due to politics and
riot to tlie firemen. There has been
no great llref losses In this city, when
you come to average It up."
Mr. Keller spoke in somewhat the
same utraln reganllng tho lnsurancs
men. "Kvery time we have u fire of
any consequence vo have a threat
from the Ins-uranee men that rates wl'l
go up," said Mr. Keller. "Let them
go up. Weil Instil c ourfrelves."
Some one at this juncture made the
remark that there was a rumor that
the chief of tlie Pre department was
filing the Xay Aug engine during tho
progress of the big fire.
"That's right." cdared Colonel
Hitchcock. "I saw him at It, and ex
postulated with him. If those boys
hnl a leader that day the fire could
have been confined to tho Kenwood
building."
Hegnrdlng the Insurance men. Colo
nel Hitchcock contented himself with
the remark that the speeches of the
evening were sulllclent to Justify their
threats.
Chairman Dickson, J. L. Connell and
others criticized the Insurance men's
eialms that the rates are too low here.
Mr. Connell contended that they are
too high,
The board admitted J. Kenjamln
