Editor Free Press and Times
Since the Chicago and Boston fire, basi-
ness men have watched the papers for facts
relating to fire insurance and safes. The
immense interests at stake require that the
truth be made known, whether private in
terest suffer in consequence, or not.
Our experience is but straw. but it is
given without solicitation from any one,
and for reasons above stated.
Wew insured with Messrs. ;. i. :.
Wires for $4,000 in the Hartford Phoenix
and Etna, all of Hartford, Conn, and
s., 200 with Col T. 5 Peck in the Royal of
Liverpool, and Pennsylvania of Philadel-
phia. The proofs of loss were signed sat
urday, Dee Is, 1872. Just one ,ceek later,
(Jan. ~, Mr. Wires notified us that the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company would ac-
cept a sight draft any day. The next day,
Monday Jan. 9th, Col. Peck paid Us eleven
hundred dollars Isl, l00) from the Royal
Insuranc Company, less SIX per cent interest
per annum for the balance of the sixty days
allowed by the policy after proof Of loss.
Mr.. Peck 5 motto, as appears from his card,
is, "sound companies, liberal adjustments and
prompt payments" He aims well and hits
the mark.
No BOARD of Adjusters" put in an APP
pearance. Messrs Wires and Peck adjust
their own losses.
We desire to commend them to the public
| for the prompt, straightforward, honorable
manner in which they have dealt with US.
No red tape. No delay If our friends do
their duty before The fire, these agents can
be relied upon to do theirs after The fire.
At the time Of the fire, we had in use one
.f Herrings Il Farrel's Champion Safes
Their safes stood the Chicago fire as well
as any other manufacture or better. but
this champion" is a new pattern brought
out since that fire. Their agent, while in
our office in October, said that neither the
fall of seventeen feet, nor fire, could
damage the contents of the safe. lie wa;
in error. The safe fell upon plank fool
resting upon the ground mot on machinery
and burst open, making an aperture large
enough to admit ones arm to the shoulder
The sides, top and bottom were ofone con.
tinuous piece of boiler plate iron one eight
of an inch thick, and fastened to a cast iror
frame. In several places the heat caused
the plate of iron to curl up and separate
itslf from the east iron frame Yet it wa
exposed to the flames bat few minutes, a!
the Hook and Ladder Company pulled i
out very promptly. To the Hooks W.
hereby tender our thanks for thus saving
our books in a fair state of preservation
Had the safe remained in the fire fiiteeI
minutes longer, everything would have beer
burned.
This was the second safe of this paterI
that had been exposed to FIRE, and the frs
one that had fallen, therefore we may sup
pose that the makers will profit by this ex
perience, and change the style. In the mean
time we would suggest to our friends not Z
invest in the Champion.

We feel under many obligations to YOU
for your notice of the division of our city
into several wards, Nos |, >, 3. and 5.
naming sundry streets as the lines dividing
said wards; but after diligent search, |
cannot come TO any decision, for the reason
that The names Of The streets are not posted
al any Of the corners Of sad streets. for
which omissions citizens frequently have to
inquire IN what direction is such a street ?
Then, stranger visiting " the Queen City,
never sees the names of the streets, and
therefore Is often at less as to the street
where his friend resides. A few scraps of
tin, with the names of the streets. would be
both useful and ornamental to all citizens.
as also to strangers. PUBLIcE.
Our correspondent calls attention to n
much desired improvement in our city.
Fifty or sixty small signs bearing the name
Of the streets, at the main corners. and the
painting of the names of the streets on the
street gas lanterns, would undoubtedly pro-
mote considerably the convenience of both
strangers and citizens. Another improve
ment Is even more needed. The city should
be remembered. The numbers now on the
stores and dwellings were attached at DIFF
terent times and by different parties There
Is no uniformity about them You find one
house numbered g." and the next door
numbered 20. and the same number in
different parts of the same street. The
present numbering is a nuisance, and the
city fathers would oblige many citizens by
a careful and systematic Encouragement of
the numbers The tenants of the houses
would probably be willing to bear the small
expense Of the change. if required but at
any rate the change should be made
