Telephones Likely to Be Taken
Out Unless McCardy Acts
Favorably on q Bill.

A communication was read before the
fire board last evening from the under
writer's asking that the department in
vestigate buildings for holes through
which smoke enters and damages goods.
1t was stated that the loss on goods by
smoke is very heavy, and that for this
reason the rates of insurance are higher.
The Insurance men are disposed to
make higher rates on goods in buildings
that are not proof against smoke, and
want the fire department to give them
information derived by an inspection
After some discussion the board con-
Guided that, while it would not make
the tiremen special inspectors for build
ing in general, yet when at fires and
discovering holes in the walls and
around pipes they might make note of
them for the benefit of the insurance
men.
A communication from n. o. Ross
was read, in which he called attaii-
ton to the fact that he is bringing suits
for infringement of stall openings
against the fire departments of several
cities. 1t was stated by Chief Jackson
that the Ross patent is not used in this
city, and the communication was re-
ferred to the committee on buildings.
A pointed letter from the Northwest
ern Telephone company was read,
which called attention to the fact that
its bills for telephones for the years 1891
and 1892, amounting to total of $3.50,
have not been paid. A representative
of the company was present and inter-
preted the letter to mean that the tele-
phones might be removed and suit
brought for the bills. The letter was
referred to the committee on claims of
the common council. where the bills are
tied up, after the comment had been
made that the comptroller was likely to
tie them up longer.
