TAKE DOWN THE POLES.
A large assemblage Of representative business
men this afternoon addressed the following to
the mayor:
WHEREAS, The large number of telegraph
wires suspended on poles in the central part of
the CITY have proven very serious
obstacles to the fire department IN doing
efficient work in case of fire, of which
the terrible coniagration of the Newhall house,
of this city, with the great loss of life, which
might otherwise have been saved, IS the latest
proof; therefore we, the undersigned citizens OF
Milwaukee, most earnestly petition the leglsla-
ture of our state, and common council OF our
citv. (. pass laws and ordinances compelling the
corporations. in whose hands the telegraph
traffic centers, to place their wires In
the central part OF our city In the ground,
instead of suspending them on poles. We feel
that this is a reform most urgently needed and
which should not be necessarily delayed for a
moment. We therefore beg you to give your
earliest possible attention to the matter.
REFUSED TO INSURE TEE HOTEL.
The local insurance agents had
recently refused to take risks on the build
ing and C. D. Nash, president of the Newhall
association, when asked if he regarded the build
ing as a substantial structure, said it was pretty
good risk notwithstanding certain underwriters
are constantly condemning it. The 10
cal insurance men have always had
an exaggerated idea of its frailty. 1t
was considered fair risk by one of the most
expert underwriters III the country, s. +. Gov
ingto., of Cincinnati, president OF the Globe
Insurance company of this city. In cOrrobora-
tiol of the statement that | considered the risk
good, | may say / have allowed the association
to assume a portion Of the risk. The amount
insured was enough to cover the Investment and
something more: ard ! could have obtained
much more insurance had desired bat l did
not do so because l felt that the risk
was so good, that L felt warranted
in assuming part of the risk
for the comp any of which am president. The
building has been on fire several times before
the present cOHfagration occurred and no serl-
Gus disaster ..has occurred. This L consider as a
strong evidence that the ediice was not exceed
ingly infiammable. 1t was by no means as
susceptible to combustion was thought by
many men.
