Insurance Man Given Hearing by Johnson A hearing was held yesterday before Insurance Commissioner Johnson on charges brought by the Central Penn sylvania Life Underwriters Association against A. C. Mead, manager of the eastern division of the Koyal Union .Mutual Life Insurance Company. It was alleged that Mr. Mead misrepre sented a special policy to J. M. Bren ner, a clothing merchant of South Fourth street, and it was brought out during the hearing that the appli cation had been raised after it had signed from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. However, the vice-president of the Royal Union company, who was a wit- i ness .testified that this was permissible rom the company's standpoint and j absolved Mead of blame in this re-j, ■ipect. The underwriters produced Brenner as his own witness, who testified that he had been led to believe he would receive in return for the insurance , fees specified a sum much larger than the face of the policy really called for. , Philip Shulman, a clerk in the nren ner store, and Miss Marie Hatfield were called to corroborate what Bren ner said. There was present a man, said to have been an outside, agent, j brought here to endeavor to catch members of the underwriters' asso- I elation in similar practices, hut al though he made an investigation, it is said, he was not called.

"While I think Harrisburg has a *;ood volunteer fire department, it is large enough to have and should have r> paid department." "Why is there not better police pro- ' tcctlon for the resident section of the town? Why do the railroad men not I>avo more regular hours?

REAL ESTATE BOWMAN REPORT BUILDING BOOST Water Main Extensions, Etc., Indicate Structural Activity Say Realty Men New water main extensions, valve i connections, taps, etc., made during the past year In the outlying districts j are more than ordinarily indicative of j J the general boom in Harrlsburg's ■ building operations, realty men de- ' I clare. "The significance of these extensions | by the water department is especially ! ] applicable to dwellings," said one I i builder of many of Harrisburg's most j modern and cosy little homes. "These | features of the annual report of thel water department are watched with i ' t considerable care by realty men and I contractors. City Commissioner Bow- j j man's report yesterday, therefore, was j especially interesting to me. For ex tensions to water main, new valves, I etc., are all made necessary by the I erection of new dwellings. When an ! outlying section Is built up so closely as to require new taps, sewers, and ! so on, why these Improvements must j !be made. Consequently 1 think the ! extent of public Improvements made , during a year always indicate a gen- I J eral growth in the building operations j of Harrisburg. "So from the viewpoint of the realty j i man and builder. Mr. Bowman's report j | yesterday was more than ordinarily ; pleasing," he went on. "For instance: the new taps numbered 383; 85 valves I were placed on new lines. Then, too, ! 29 new fire hydrants were Installed, I while new paving operations necessi | tated changes In the location of eight ' other hydrants. And finally; think of {the significance of this: Just 485 new j water meters were installed by the de partment's staff." TODAY'S RKAI.
