Insurance Bill.


The bill presented by Mr. Hammer IN
the senate yesterday to regulate insur-
ance writing strikes at the three-quarter
clause and other special features and
would eliminate entirely the New York
standard policy. He would have every
contract show on the face of the policy
affrmatively and no special clauses eff
fective unless particularly noted in the
contract. The bill also prov ides that in
case of injury or destruction by fire the
company carrying the policy shall agree
with the insured on the amount of loss,
or falling to do so, replace the property
as 1t was before. The bill was referred
to the committee on insurance and bank
ing of which Mr. Hammer the author,
is chairman.
Insurance men fear for such a law for
several reasons, the most particular OF
which is the temptation to arson when
the three-fourths clause is not in force.
They argue that this clause Is no de-
ception to any one, that it is shown in
the face Of the policy and really the IN
sured is only paying for what he gets in
the end. Very likely the insurance men
will ask a hearing on the committee
before the bill is reported, as the passage
of such law, while not seriously in
juring the business, would render it all
the more difficult to handle. The arrange
ment now Is that when a man has a
loss he can call in a board of arbitra-
ton and II in the end all fail to agree
the property will be replaced.

case is made of good lumber, and is
placed on a good, frost-proof brick
wall which extends about two feet
above the surface Of the ground, and
also descends to point about four
feet below the surface. The space be-

In this system the water is forced
from the well through the pipe (A) by
windmill power, directly to a 4O-bar-
rel galvanized tank OBJ, located in
the garnet of the residence. From here
it may be piped to any part of the
house. An overflow pipe (E) taps the
tank near the top and conducts the
water to the large cypress supply
tank. BY this method the freshest
water remains in the galvanized tank

from this supply tank to wherever the
water is required for use, to hog lots,

PUTTING IN A FARM WATER
SUPPLY SYSTEM.

In establishing a water supply sys.

determined is the kind of power to be
used in making the supply of water
available for the uses of man and

mon, though gasoline, as well as horse
and tread power are more and more
coming into use. As to which power
should be used it can only be said that
local circumstances and conditions

have applied for seats however,
