STANDARDS. SOLAR TIME.
Nearly $4,000 OF Insurance Hangs On
Minutes.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 25.-Whether
noon in Louisville is recl1oned accord
ing to standard time or solar time is
the question involved in thirteen suits
for SIG, $40 insurance filed here. Each
of these suits is against insurance COM
panies that held policies on three
buildings destroyed by fire about mid
day, April l, last.
The policies of the thirteen defendant
companies were in force from noon
April /, 1901, to noon April 1, 1902.
None of the policies make it plain
whether the word noon means stand
ard or solar time. The records Of the
fire department show that the flames
were discovered about 11:45 o'clock,
although the exact moment never has
been definitely settled. Solar time
here is seventeen and one-half minutes
faster than standard time, and if the
fire broke out at HAS standard time it
was then two and one-half minutes
after noon by solar time.
