The general impression in local insurance
circles is that the loss on the power house
and machinery is complete. and that the
companies will settle their policies in full
Among the Insurance Men.
The insurance men were all in the same
category today. Usually when a fire &C.
ours the agents of companies who carried
no risks on the property destroyed indulge
In merriment at the expense of their col
leagues whose companies get scorched. To-
day, however, there was no chance for any
insurance man to exercise his humorous in
clinations, and all were clad alike in meta
phcrical sack cloth and ashes. While the
insurance carried by the Traction Com
pany was easily aseertainable. it was ex-
tremely difficult to learn the amounts car
ried by the tenants of the burned building
or the names of the companies carrying
the risks. 1t was estimated by insurance
experts this afternoon that the insurance
on property destroyed, outside of that car
req Dy the traction company, would
amount to about $l50,0Od
