nro Inauranc. It I a well-known
fact that tba rata prevailing here
are In nearly tnery Initance exorbi
tant. Itaied ai they are on the ei-
iwrlence of the Are imurance com-
lnle and regulated according to
Hie nature of itructurei and the pro
tection offered by the water aupply,
lltllo hope In fact, no hope need

tUaa of building erected on the
ground now occupied by frame itruc
lure, or the dty baa a more eiten
alvo ytcm of Ore hydrant. Belief
through the drat cause I remote, aa It
I not likely that many of the frame
building will be replaced for year.
A to the matter of aecurlng taore hy
drant, there la a chance that-thl
can be brought about.
Mr. Newman ,waa teen today, and
an effort waa made to have him atate
how great the reduction would be
In case more hytraata were tattatled.
In repblng he uld:
"That la something t will not fur-
nlh figures on. They must come from
Mr. Kelly In Portland, and they can
ho secured If the Chamber of Com-
merra of thl city will wire, asking
for them. Then they will be official
and will bo put Into force when the
number of hydrants In the Br limit
I Increased. 1 will, however, state
that It thcro la a hydrant placed at
each corned and one In the middle of
each corner and one la the middle of
1B0 feet apart, tho reduction In rate
would be a substantial one. I am at
work now re-ratlng the city. There
will bo a slight reduction la the pre
vailing rate, but It will be very email.
It any asturanco could be given that
tho number of h)dranta would be In
created Iho work I am now doing
would not nave to be done again, pro
vided tho chango was made at once
or In tho near future. The re-ratlng
of a city mutt necessarily be done at
certain times, and If the rating I am
now making should go Into effect be
fore the hydrant question was nettled
It must of necessity remain la force
until such time as a new one Is made.
How soon that would be cannot be
stated, that depending on the work
In hand at tho time the application
for a new rating was made."
When II. V. dates was here short
tlmo ago ho submitted to the council
a propodtlon relative to the ptaclng
on Klamath avenue of a aU-lach mala
and Increasing the number of hy
drants throughout the city. This
proposition provided for hydrants
ono block apart In the business sec
tion of tho city, and It put Into effect
would bo tho causo of a. great reduc
tion In rate. If the number o'f hy
drant aro further Increased by the
placing of one In the middle ot each
block within the ire limits It would
still lower the Insurance rate. The
ordinance waa hung up oa account of
the refusal ot Mr. dates io consent to
have Incorporated la this ordinance
a provision that It repealed ordl
naaees 45 aad 46,
lo ImperUat la tali matter to the
business Interests ot the etty that or
bring about an amicable adjustment
of the difference between the coun
cil and the water company, In order
that the hydrants needed to reduce
tho Are Insurance rate may be In
stalled In tlmo to have the present
re-ratlng caver the new conditions. It
Is, of course, realised that the coun
cil Is desirous of permanently settling
the differences between the city and
the water company, and bad this In
mind when the question of the repeal
at ordinances 45 aad 48 came np, but
It would seem that none of the rights
of tho city would be sacrlflced oy the
passage of an ordinance with the re
pealing clause out, leaving that to be
settled by future legislation.
The money paid out by the busi
ness men of the city baa for years
been a heavy drain on their resource,
aside from the fact that thetrrlaka
have been lightly Insured, due to the
fsct thst they could not pay the cost
Incident to the carrying of a reason
able amount of Insurance on their
stock. The growth of the city and
the consequent Increase of liability to
fire makes It Imperative that some
thing be done to so far reduce the
rates charged as to enable them to
place larger policies, aad this can
only be done by a re-arrangement of
the hydrants so ns to meet the re
quirements of the Insurance com
panies. ,
