 pasted in yOuf hat: "rhe Newl [
 lire department has passed resolitlu.s
 relative to the frequency of fires in thai

 doing business here. in giving -xc.s.
 sive insurance to parties without first
 lnquiring into their Roral character l and thorough and previous inspections
 of the property insured. The rrsuli
 of this negligence on their part has s made insurance specul ,tiun. and ha. t created spirit of lncendiarism. for
