Boston Board Grants Request of the
New York Underwriters' Agency.
The storm which threatened to break
over the Boston Eoard of Underwriters
has happily passed, for at a special meet
ing OF the board held yesterday the claims
OF the New York Underwriters Agency
were recognized.
AS explained in THE NEWS last week,
the contracts of the New York Under
writer's Agency are guaranteed by the |
Hartford Insurance Company and this, in |
/ he judgment of many barred the agency |
from doing business in Boston, as accord |
ing to board rule each company |
may have but one agent In Boston proper. |
For whole week a special committee OF |
the board has struggled with the question |
and not until yesterday was 1t decided |
Just what the board proposed to do.
Then 1t was decided to recognize the |
agency as a separate COM |
agency doing business without entering |
the board, of rate wars and hundred other |
evils. Now all fears are thrown to the |
winds, for a majority voted to so construe |
the board ruling on the subject as to re-
gard the New York Underwriters' Agency |
the equivalent Of company.
The vote was rising one, and 1t could
not be ascertained who voted for or against
the agency.
Charges Concerning the
Columbia Fire Insurance Company.
LOUISVILLE, June 2O.-The failure OF
the Columbian Fire Insurance Company |
months ago, is brought again to mind by |
4 circular issued from this city by Thomas |
Z. Hindman, under date OF June rs. The
did large business in Boston, I
Ind the sensational charges contained in |
he circular will be read with interest by |
all policy holders ofthe company.
Mr.. Hindman was Pacific Coast man
lger OF the Columbian and the third
argest stockholder. He has been In the
south for month collecting information
the company's affairs. The
circular is issued to the stockholders and
'ays:
Having recently obtained evidence OF
lagrant corruption in the management of
his company-practiced since, as well as
before its assignment deem IL impor-
ant, that some method be devised with
,ut delay, whereby the interests involved
nay be protected as far as possible.
Those OF US bona fde tockholders
desiring an honest, economical admins
ration OF the estate and an equitable
ettlement with our creditors, owe 1t to
ourselves as upright citizens, jealous OF
'ur regulations, not only TO arraign the
PARTIES responsible for the wreck into
which we are helplessly plunged, but also
