FIRE INSURANCE. 



The meeting of the members of the 

 Florists" Fire Association was fixed for 

 Decemlier 6. No election was had and 

 the meeting adjourned one week. The 

 jirincipal reason for the postponement 

 was that a number of the persons whom 

 we were instructed to vote for as directors 

 bad not filed their applications for insur- 

 ance The a] plication^ were not sent 

 out until late and are coming in rapidly, 

 but it takes time to round u]i matters. 



As soon as sufticient applications are 

 in, ]iolicieswin be issued A misunder- 

 standing has arisen over the requirement 

 that heating pipes shall be properly insu- 

 lated. The present connnittee are of the 

 opinion that steam pipes in contact with 

 wood near the boiler when it is very dry 

 are dangerous, but that in the green- 

 hciuses or away from the boiler, under or- 

 dinary circumstances are not clangerous. 



The rate fixed is thought b\' some to be 

 too high. It is believed by the commit- 

 tee that it is higher than future assess- 

 ments should be or will be, but it is safer 

 to .start too high than too low, and all will 

 benefit h\ it in the future if too high.
