THREE CASES HEARD.
Relief Board Ends Session With She.
 cial Hearing.

The board of relief has completed it's annual session, three special hearings being held Saturday, Altogether 20 appeals from assessments made on property about the city were filed with the board,
 The first case was on the appeal of the Philando Armstrong estate from an assessment of s1OO.00O. Attorney George R. Cooley, representing the estate, ap- peared and stated that the assessment was on loan to the Benton Armstrope company made by local banks, and was already taxed once and therefore should not he taxed again

 The final special case was the ap- peal of John l. Brennan from the as. sessnlent on his property at Daven- port avenue and Elliott street.

see what the quality and quantity of it is. The quarters of the men will be inspected in detail to see if they are so arranged that the men can get out of them with the apparatus with the greatest possible speed.
 Later inspections will include all of the principal buildings of the city, es- pecially those that are very valuable or high or dangerously situated. Elec- tric wiring will be looked into, both as to the general laws on the subject and as to the strict enforcement of these laws The same will be done with the building material.
 When the inspection has been gone over in every detail, MT Hoyt said, the inspectors will make a report to the national board He refused to give any hint of what this report would be. He said that copy of 1t would be sent to every insurance com pany in the exact wording that 1t is sent in to the national board. Ii may include recommendations as to the fire apparatus or to the fire alarm systems Oi llt bullulllSS dItl titNlliNclt w Ntl HIS laws and their enforcement. The wa ter supply will be exactingly looked into as to its pressure all over the city and as to its dependability and quan- tity.
 Contrary to common understanding MT. Hoyt said, the inspectors never make recommendations as to the rais ing or lowering of insurance rates in proportion as they find conditions bad or good. He said that the separate l insurance companies were left to do as they please in this regard, making their decisions from the very thor ough reports that they will receive from the inspectors through the na- tional board.
 In this regard the national board is different from the Southeastern Tariff company, the New England Board of Fire Underwriters and many other similar boards which he understood made specific recommendation as to the insurance rates to the companies. l The National Board of Fire Under writers makes reports, he said, to l2O insurance companies.
 l Mir Hoyt said that an inspection similar to the one now in progress in New Haven had been made in Bridge port about two years ago and that aft CT the inspectors went they were thanked heartily for the recommends tions they made by the fire commis- sicners. who said they were then able to put through many Improvements that before that time they had never been able to make the city see were necessary. Mir Hoyt said that while the inspectors have been in New Ha- ven they have been given every possi- ble attention and aid by the fire and water departments
 Their report will he made to the board in about three weeks, and in a month or six weeks frcm now the board will send out their findings
 These inspections have been going ] on for some years all over the coun try. All of the large cities have been thoroughly inspected at least once San Francisco was inspected just sir | months before its earthquake and ai that time the inspectors found condd- tions so bad there that they reported that if the whole city did not burn tc
