The insurance adjusters were here
Thursday to adjust the loss occasioned
by the recent burning Of the Parish
hotel. The loss on The furniture, $1,500,
covered by policy in the North Brit
ish and Merchantile Insurance Co.,
was adjusted without difficulty, the ad-
justers giving Mrs. Parish a check for
the amount. There developed a slight
misunderstanding ABOUT the insurance
on the building, however. The insur-
ance amounting to $4,000 was in four
policies Of $1,000 each, written on two
different occasions. When the first two
policies were written, provision was
inserted fixing the concurrent or ad-
ditional insurance allowed at $1,500. AS
the result of an oversight, or misun-
derstanding, there was subsequently
written the sum Of $4,000, leaving the
sum Of $500 in somewhat doubtful
status. Under the circumstances the
adjusters were not authorized to settle;
but had to refer the matter to their
home offices.
