If the OLN AYE city council can, by ‘an imp! the facilities for fighting fire, lessen the liability of the town burning, the ineur- ance companies’ will no doubt show their appreciation by reducing the rate.

But there should ‘beno occasion for them complaining because no reports are given out by the management, as is the case ofthe B.. A. C.and Le Rei company. The London shareholders, failing to get answers to their inquiries from these companies, are writing to the newspa- pers, Such complaints could and should ‘be avoided, not only for the good of the companies themselves, but for the good of thetamp. ———. 2 It was gratifying newa to this camp t of Le Roi LIVERY SALE and FEED STABLE.__f> JOHN F.
