DoubIy Amazing!!

AS indicative of the view taken by in
surance journals and the value placed
upon water works by them, we give the
following clipped from The Standard
published in Boston Mass. The Stan
dard is one of the leading insurance pa
pers of the country, and its views are en-
titled to the highest credit in anything
relating to insurance and protection of
property from fire.
SKOWHrGAN.-The REPORTER pOintedly
admonishes the village authorities to rent
the Is hydrants of the water company for
fire purposes, the water supply from the
cistcrns being scanty, and many of the
cisterns sadly in need of repairs. 1t is
simply amazing to think that the author
tiles should not have arranged for this
before the water works were completed,
and doubly so, that they should hold off
now,

A Few Words.

The argument is being used that the
rental of hydrants by the Tillge Corpor-
alton will have no effect upon insurance
rates. This argument is used displte the
fact that rates have been reduced in
Watersille Augusta, Gardiner, Richmond,
Bath. Calais, Passport, Rockand, Cam
den and every other place in Maine,
where adequate works have been built,
with the exception Of Auburn where the
works are not up to the standard as to
capacity and pressure. If rates have
been cut from ~ TO - per cent in all OF
these places why should they not be cut
down in Skowhcgan. They ought to be
reduced more than in Waterville, Angus
Ia or Gardiner as those places. being
more largely of brick buildings, had
better rates before the introduction Of
water than has Skowhegan to-day. We
have it from the best authority possible
that the reduction in these three places
was fully ~ per cent. Is there any rea
son why the reduction should not be 20
per cent in Skowhcgan. There are good
reasons why 1t should be larger but none
why it should be smaller.
The city of Lewiston was cited in our
recent corporation meeting as dissatisfied
with rates and instances were given
where rates were higher than before the
introduction of water. No one would

NELSON'S RECOUNT.

supreme Court Commissioners Nugent
win Conduct 1t.
A number of politicians gathered at tho
Court House this morning expecting to
hear the recount III the contested election
case of ex-Freeholder Nelson against
Freeholder Pairson. Both of these gen
tlemen were early on hand with their
counsel, Lawyer Gordon appearing for
Mr.. Nelson and eX-Judge Garretson for
Freebooter Pairson.
Mr.. Gordon asked the court to fix a day
when the hearing and recount could be
had and asked that 1t be done imme-
diately, for he feared the ballot boxes
would be tempered with.
He said that there were only two pre-.
cincts That were in doubt, and he would
like to have the ballots counted in our
ana marked for Identification.
Judge 5arfettson and William ID. DAILY,
his associate, agreed to this. and hen the
Court suggested that the recount and evil
denee be taken before q Commissioner OF
the Supreme Court.
Counsellor Gordon demurred at this at
first, but later consented, and Commits
sioner John Nugent was appointed by the
Court to hold the hearing. 1t will take
place some day within thirty days from
this date.
