Irsuraace Companies Kick

A meeting of the local insurance agents
was held yesterday at II. c. Cory's office for
the purpose Of taking some action with refer
ence to the announcement made some time
ago by General Manager Bsveridge Of the
Iowa Alliance that an advance Of l per cent
would be made on all buildings where the
motor company has electric motors in opera
tion. 1t is claimed that by reason of the
companys failure to put in direct wire, to
run the motors without reference to the troll
ley wires, the danger to the buildings is
greatly increased The company agreed to
put in a direct wire some time ago, but has
failed to do So and it is understood that
this order is made as a means of bringing
the company to terms. Manager Beverdge
has also stated that all policies on buildings
where motors are operated will be cancelled.
At yesterdays meeting it was decided to ask
Mr.. Bever!dge TO make special rating on
such buildings rather than cancel the policies
and allow them to collect the additional
amounts from their patrons II they can.
