The ASYLUM Insurance.

The fire insurance policies amount
ing to Sl55,000 on the Western Asy-
lum expire tomorrow. The chances
are that the States property will have
to remain uninsured from the lack of
funds to pay the premiums amount
ing to $1,000. Last year the Board
placed the insurance with all of the
local agents and the bill was turned
in to the State Treasurer direct as
required by law, The warrants were
promptly returned, but they have
never been paid. The agents placed
them in the banks as collateral and
borrowed money to settle with their
companies. These notes have been
renewed again and again by some of
them until the commissions have al
ready been eaten up with interest,
aud the end is not yet in sight.
This year the Board wrote again to
Treasurer Long, but he could make
no definite promise and unless the
agents again carry the unpaid war
rants the asylum insurance will not
be renewed.
1t is said that the agents agreed to
insure and wait thirty days and then
cancel, but the Board Committee ON
Insurance and Contracts has decided
not to renew on those terms. So af
ter to-day the asylum will be without
insurance until the State can make
raise and pay its debts.
