BALIEG COTTON IN IRON HooPs.-To
the Honorable Board of Underwriters of
New Orleans The undersigned steamboat
owners and captains, would respectfully
represent 10 your honorable body that they
consider the subject of baling cotton in iron
hoops as one of great Importance to them
selves and to you as insurers.
The additional safety secured by iron
bound cotton is apparent, and has been
fully proven, and we earnestly desire its
universal adoption.
We believe it is in your power to WELD
a vast influence toward accomplishing this
result, and aside from all other considera-
tions of public benefit, that it will greatly
decrease your risks and losses in years
business. Eb
The losses by fire to the steamboat inter
ests, in our opinion, if cotton was univer-
sally bound in iron, would be very greatly
reduced, and when such accidents did oc-
cur the proportion of cotton saved would
be largely increased, as has been proven
by the disasters Of the, past season, which
are well known to You. .
We believe that it is practicable for you
to make discrimination in your tariff of
insurance in favor of iron bound cotton,
and pledge ourselves to render you any
facilities in our power to that end
This will undoubtedly secure to a great
extent the desired object.
Yours, very respectfully,
