It means fat job for apout i've dozen ward heelers to go around reading the meters, and another 1at lob for about half dozen or more plumbers to keep the meters Ill re- pair, and eventually it means the peo- ple who pay rent will get a raise not in wages but in their rent. because the landlord must pay the high water bill. and he in turn will see that tne tenant settles the bill.

THE HAMBURG
INSURANCE CASE
"rHr OVERLAND L,sIrro.'

In the Advertiser of January - a
brief cablegram announced judicial
decision in Hamburg finding the North
German Fire Insurance Co. liable for
it's San Francisco losses. The following
day it was cabled that the North Ger
man and the Transatlantic companies
had determined to dissolve. Some
points of the Hamburg decision, with
explanatory notes by the San Francisco
Examiner, are here given:
HAMBURG, Jan. 1.-THE North Ger
man Fire Insurance Company, accord
ing to decision rendered by the local
court in a test case today, must pay the
losses which 1t incurred as result of
the San Francisco earthquake last
year.
The court held that the earthquake
clause in the policy was too ambig-
uous to justify the company seeking 10
escape liability. The court also ordered
the Transatlantic Fire Insurance Com
pany to reimburse two English COM
panies which had reinsured San Fran
cisco risks when the fire losses were ad-
iusted. The court refused to sustain
the Transatlantic Company's conten-
ton that the English companies ex-
ceeded the limit of generosity in set
Ting the losses so rapidly.

the increase in the number Of pounds

The opposition to- Japanese immi.
grafton in British Columbis seems
based on a better underst anding Of
conditions than at San Franciso.
The fact that the labor unions in San
Francisco have been the most active
against the Japanese has led to the
belief in the East that it is mere
selfish agitation on the part Of labor
leaders. In Vancouver, however there

Guiding to steal the money. he vainly
tried to buy clothes and other goods,

be counterfeit. All knew that the
bills if genuine. were probably
stolen. Had he fallen into the hands

been lost but by good luck he escaped

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Commenting upon the conditions 81

The recent furry in the money
markets may result in some financial
legislation next winter. and there is
canger that it may be i'll considered.
There is, also, danger that the in
dreased National bank circulation pro.
vided by Secretary Cortelyou may be
permanent instead of temporary. The
most important thing in a monetary
system is steadiness of prices.
The U nited States is much greater
than the banking interests. The in.
terests of the people sometimes coin.
eide with opportunity for profit to
banks, nd'sometirnes are directly op-
posed to banking profits, 1t is need
less to say that it is the interests of
the country which the Secretary
should have in mind.
Perhaps the only financial legis-
lation that is desirable this winter is
something on the plan OF EI Secretary
Shaw, permitting National banks to
issue emergency currency to certain
limit. The essential part Of this
plan is high tax on this currency
