INSURANCE MEN
 ARE INTERESTED
A RUM0R THAT THEY WILL !NvESTI-
 GATE THE PRESSURE.
Furnished by the Waterworks Company in Case of Fires-Rates May
 Be Raised.

It was learned yesterday that several of the insurance agents of this city had been making investigations in a quiet way of the alleged failure of the Birmingham Water Works company to provide sufi- cient pressure in case of fires.
 The Water Works company has an elec- trical attachment in use that automatically increases the pressure of the water in the mains whenever the fire alarm is sounded. The insurance companies are beginning to doubt the effectiveness of this attachment to increase the water pressure at critical times, and have written to their agents here to investigate.
 An "unconfrmed rumor'' had it yester- day that the insurance companies will send a committee here for this purpose within the next three months, and that on the res suit of their investigation depended the in- crease of insurance rates for this city. It has been said that this attachment failed to work in a number of instances, notably in the case of the burning of the Caldwell hotel It seems that several of these com- panies had never heard of this automatic attachment until recently, and if it should be found that it is not safe, they will in self-defense be compelled to increase their rates.
