in Seward county was before the state
railway commission seeking to get
some kind of an order which would
compel the Burlington railroad to fur
nish depot which the patrons OF the
road could reach. The depot formerly
was located in the town, but since the
Milford cutoff was completed the de-
pot has been transferred to a distance
Of about one mile and a quarter from
the town. 1t is located, the delegation
said, in an inaccessible place, and it is
impossible to get to it with wagon.
One member OF the delegation said
he had been unable to get to a car
OF lumber which had been on the track
for several Gays. The commission sent
for the local agent of the road to talk
the matter over with him.

Insurance Assets.

Deputy Insurance Auditor John L.
Pierce is not in favor of valuing in.

they bore on the 31st of last December
as requested by meeting of state in.

braska law says annual reports of. in.
surance companies shall contain true
report of the condition of the com.
panies, together with the market value
of securities on the 31st of December
The annual reports are now due and
the values of last year will not be &C.
cepted by this department because un.
der the law he cannot accept such
values. If the securities Of insurance
companies show an impairment this
year. he cannot help it, On the other
hand it is known that the values of last
December were inflated values.
