E. ]. Baldwin sought to get low rate
of insurance. The premises were sur

The underwriters reported fixing the rate
at 5 per cent Mr. Baldwin protested
against the rate, as he considered it ex-
cessive and prohibitory. D. ]. Staples,
however, refused to recede. and even
counseled the Firemen's Fund to take
no risks even at the per cent figure.
The advice was followed and the Fire
