a resolution calling on Insurance Com
missioner Dearth to furnish the COM
missioners with figures showing the
premiums paid to, and the losses sus-
tanned by the insurance companies In
St Paul during 1902.
What are you going to do?" Queried
Commissioner Clarkin.
I'm going to get the insurance rates
down if l cam" replied Mr.. Freeman
AS l understand it, the companies
nave had very prosperous year in
this city, and there is no reason why
the rates should be so high"
The resolution was adopted without
dissent, and when the figures from the
insurance commissioner reach the board
there may be something doing"
The commissioners looked over the
annual report, which will be presented
to the mayor and common council
within the next few days, and decided
to reiterate the demands made by them
IN their report of 1901. In addition to
these demands, the board will also rec
ommend the placing of a second-size
engine in the house at Payne avenue
and York street, and the establishment
OF hook and ladder truck and com.
pany in the house at Marion and Ed
mund streets.
Chief Jackson, in his report to the
board, said:
Fire Protection Inadequate.
Fire protection in the Sixth, Sew
enth and Eighth wards is inadequate,
and there has been no increase of APP
paratus in these districts since they
were first organized" He also recon
mended the placing of an engine at
Payne avenue and York street, and a
nook and ladder truck at Edmund and
Marion streets.
wrote the board to inquire about the
proposed purchase of a new engine

STREET CLEANING
FORCE GETS BUSY
Laborers Encounter a Mass of the
Stiokiest Kind of Mud.

City Engineer Rundlett had a big
force Of men out yesterday taking care
of the mud besmeared streets, but
about all that could be done was to
keep the cutters clear to allow the
flow Of water into the catch-basins
The warmth caused the melted snow
and ice to flow in rivers, and Iaborers
had to be kept continually at work to
prevent 1t flowing over the walks and
into cellars.
Yesterday morning a steamer had to
be called into requisition to clear some
OF the catch-basins. They were choked
with Ice and snow, and refused to
give way to a pick and shovel.
The streets, especially the crossings,
We're a mass Of mud that stuck to ev-
erything, and was carried into the
stores, much to the disgust of the own
ers. Crossings were kept clear as far
as possible, but under the effects of
countless feet and the steep grades the
emi-liquid stream was carried back
as fast as it was removed.
The present spell is only temporary,
but if 1t continues any length OF time,
large crew Of men will be put to work
carrying the filth and snow away in
wagons.
