OTTAWA, Ont, March 9, 1ss5.-The bill
which the City If Toronto has before the
Legislature. asking power to establish a civic
fire insurance bureau. Will be pushed, not
withstanding Sundays disastrous fire.
The bill provides for an Issue by Toronto
of $1,000, 900 worth of d~ebentures to form a
civic insurance fund. The proposal Is that the
Toronto City Council may submit a bylaw to
the ratepayers to authorize the Council to estao-
lsh a bureau Of fire Insurance. The bureau
is to be managed by three paid commissioners
Two of the commissioners are to be appointed
by the City Council. the other by the Local
Board of Trade. These Commissioners are to
have entire control not only of the insurance
scheme, but of The fire brigade.
To make a large business certain, the pro
posed bin provides that the Insurance Shall De
must insure his property, Just as he must pay
his taxes. In fact, the scheme is practically
a new tax on owners Of buildings. An owner
already insured in, a fire company is OF
course allowed "a year or two to drop it.
The Toronto estimate is that the profits from
the insurance SHOULD be sufficient to maintain
the fire brigade AS well as pay the expenses OF
the insurance. bureau.

WASHINGTON, March 9, 1s95.-Ameri-
can carpets. are being introduced into
Switzerland by a German frmof Stuttgart
and the American Consul ct Zurich, In
his investigation of the matter has found
that United States have a great field in
Europe for their fabrics. There are no
carpet factories in Switzerland, the sup
ply being imported from Germany, En-
gland, France and Belgium. The Consul
pointed out a single difficulty to be over
come in creating a market there, which
is the prevailing opinion that everything
called American must naturally be high
priced. 1t appears conclusive, however,
that if Swiss merchants are willing to
pay German middlemen a commission to
Secure American goods, direct trade
might be more advantageous TO all con-
cerned.
