Salkm, Jan. 10, 1878. I noticed in one of our city papers lately tho report of, tho Chcif Knginoorof tho Firo Dejxu-t-mcut, tliat considorablu strew aud cnjutal w at tempted to bo mado out of tho recent "onplcos antnoss" between tho City Council and the Firo Department in regard to tho increase of insur ance rates on property in this city, or reducing tho city from a third clans to a fifth. In regard to tho trouble or misunderstanding tatwveti tho City Council and tho Department, I do not pro pose to take sides, but in regard fc tho insur ance I wish to make a few obsenntiotii. Judging from tho Chief Engineer's report, all of the property holdurs in Uits city were in n business eeno, bound to have their proiiorty in. Btircd. Aud a man who did not m do, v,.w lacking in judgment I reipeetfullv beg leave to take tsHtie. i neltovo noiiisiiy mai n uiero wis not a 8ttiglo dollar of insurance m tins burg it would bo far bettor olt. That the number of fires keen tweo with the number of buddings and amounts insured. I tlo not say that a man will lire his building as soon ni the policy h taken out, but it is a premium for cirelcsstii-M or criminal ncgligcnco In quarters that we little think of. Tho methodical and natural instinct ive caro in regard to looking to proper extin guishing of fire, when the place of business is closed up, or dwelling houso left for a short time, is not cultivated as it should be, but "let it rip" style of doing business is engendered; "it is insured anyhow." Ashes from tho stovet are not properly cared for or looked after; they aro thrown into anything without examination, whether alive cools aro in them or not Oils used for lights are carelessly handled or But about where thoy may become overheated. Itags impregnated with oil or grease allowed to accumulate inoddcorncrs uoar chimneys or gar rota or lxick yards, and spontaneous combustion engendered, and tho many laws of chemistry not studied or looked aftor that should be, and would bo if tho property was not insured. In fact, it has becotno so prevalent, that nho first question asked after tho location of a fire is as certained, "how much insurance!" A natural sequence of tho unfortunate custom of insurance. "A houso not insured ilcol not burn Mill noon becomo an aphorism, aud as proof, of all tho houses that nave burned or partially so in this city for the last live years, at least 00 l.T cent had more or lees insurance on thciu. And tho action of thu insurance companioa in mincing Salem to n fifth-rate city in their scale is a bkwaitig, and should they withdraw all of their business philanthropy all of tho citucus (except agents) would arise and roll them blessed, while tho tire aniwrntus would compar atively rust for want of use, NON-lNWCIlANClt. aaU3ITEACTTTTn.S' A33QCIATIOK.
