LOSE APPORTIONMENT.
Some Kansas Town Councils Were
Too Negligent.

The collection of the . per cent fire
insurance tax which was appOrtiOned
among different cities of the state the
other day by the superintendent of in
surance was attended by great difficult
ty from the start to finish. Some of the
cities acted in q most careless and IN
interested manner and through their
own fault viii not get any of the money
which is due them.
In speaking of the matter, Insurance
Commissioner Anthony said. AS eE-
ample of how some towns ignore the
provisions of the law governing this ap-
portionment, I now have a letter re-
ceived the other day from a fire mar
the matter was referred to him. and
asks me for blanks in order to fill out
the requirements under the law. as
those I sent that town were lost, OF mis-
placed by the parties to whom they
were sent
Now the fact is the fire marshal has
nothing more to do with the matter
than the man in the moon. The city
treasurer, the mayor and the council
under the legislative enactment have
the matter in their hands, and in this
particular instance, they simply We're
too careless. or too busy to attend to
the bushes and turned it over to a man
who had nothing to do with it.
Some of the towns on account Of
just such neglect as this viii not re-
