RATES NOT RAISED.
During the past week the announce
ment was made from Boston that den
mite steps were being taken TO raise hre
insurance rates throughout New England
because of the big losses which some OF
the companies sustained at San Fran
cisco. Up TO the present time nothing
has been received by the underwriters OF
Pawtucket I'm relation TO this matter. IL
is said that there will probably be Few
New England cities where the losses
from fire have been very slight during
the past ten years. that will not be ,ef-
fected by this move, and that Pawtucket
is perhaps TO be one OF them. The city
has certainly been very fortunate In this
regard. There have been no big fires ex-
cepting the recent one at the Waddlng
works for several years, and property
here is looked upon by the insurance
companies as a pretty good risk

the assessors I'm order that he might
learn who had been taxed for personal
property. and who had been dropped
from the list. II was refused him.. and the
books were taken away from him. Tne
mayor went TO the courts. but there II
was held up till long after decision
would have done any good, ana later
when the matter did come up for acuon'
II was not very seriously pushed.
Councilman Hughes resolution called
for the placing in the hands OF the city
treasurer a complete list OF the persons
who were taxed for personal property, so
that il could be open for public inspec-

ing for the rest of the Republicans ex-
cept to vote for the motion. III Is 10 De
doubted II there were more than one or
