THE lNDIcNroR has been reliably in
formed that the fire insurance agents of
the city are not making complaint as
has been reported because of the re
duction of the force in the fire depart
ment, and that only one agent has made
protest. Even in this solitary instance
it is very doubtful if the companies
represented by this individual have
authorized him TO raise any objections,
and therefore it is more than likely that
he is being made an instrument of by a
few disgrunted persons who felt direct
ly the fall of the AK when reductions
were made. 1t remains to be seen
whether twenty men cannot handle the
fires Of Pueblo, and until then no at
tcntion should be paid to the kick of
this individual agent.
