Milton, Oct. l5-All the articles
stolen from the Hub Cash store, with
the exception of two watches, were
found last Saturday by Jed Levan-
way in barn near the village, where
they have been concealed since the
robbery. 1t has been thought by many
that the Hub cash store job was done
by outside parties not connected with
the gang doing the petty pilfering In
this section but the finding of the
goods places 1t in the same line as the
others In which the fourleen-year.old

tion is hereby made that seven days
notice be served upon property owners,
upon whose premises such dangerous
or unsafe walls remain, to remove the
same, otherwise to enforce the penal
provisions of The Building Law"

the fact that in the last few weeks four
men had been killed and twenty in
iured through falling walls. Lonergan
said the resolution required property
owners to commence to remove all dan
gerous structures on seven days notice
and to finish the work in from fourteen
TO twenty-one days.

Professor Whitney Says Report May

Professor Whitney of the University

We will supply information to the Pol
icy-H Holders Protective League. In the
work of the Chamber of Commerce re-
gard1ng insurance matters in San Fran
cisco is included general cooperation
to get an understanding. The work
of the league will be very beneficial

tion. The responses received are very
satisfactory; Still it is desired that
coupons have been returned quite num-
erously. filled out properly.
The answers in the blanks that were
sent out to the people through different
agencies also constitute a large source
of information. In addition to this, let
ters have been received In which poll
cy-holders tell about their experiences
at the hands of fire insurance com
panies.
l find that many are entirely satisfied
with the settlements that have been
made. Others are dissatisfied. sufi-
cient number of responses in various
forms have come in to make 1t advisa-
BILE to begin to tabulate the returns
L
complete report that will be prepared
for circulation will be ready some time
in December, but there may be a pre-
liminary statement before that time
1t is entirely too early yet to give out
any statement for the reason that the
returns are not numerous enough to
warrant it. Besides, the Chamber of
Commerce, representing all commercial
interests, caused this work to be under
taken that the entire question might
be considered in a judicial spirit.
The Chamber of Commerce desires
to obtain information from every rep
utable source. The attitude of the
chamber toward the insurers and in
sured is entirely faira and must neces-
sarily be so to insure respectful re-
ception of the report that is to be made.
When the time comes the chamber will
report in substance the facts, which
will be set forth duly. No one can be
blamed for telling the truth. 1t is to
the interest of the insurance companies
and also of the public that the truth
should be published. The chamber is

a number of offenders. One woman
