 Friends of the old soldiers are interested in bill to allow use of $1450, set apart for servants houses and not needed, in making other needed Improvements A bill is also pending to increase the fire insurance fund of the home 5000. Both are favorably reported
 The fire marshal law is no doubt doomed. Chairman Hammer of the sem ate insurance committee will fight it so long as bill pending in the house in which he is interested Is not passed The latter provides that ne agent shall sdis- close to any other agent rate charged by non-board company.
 The greater part of the insurance men are opposed to the house bill and the interest on the part of the legislature is not such as to make the passage likely However MT. Hammer will not get out of the way of tke fire marshal act If the house bill Is lost. He is frank to say that he will be willing to assume the responsibility of the loss of the fire mar shai act.
 Mr. Etrother has a bill to make in- surance companies fix rates according to losses for the year. For instance. if the losses are heavy the rates go up. if low they go down. Mir. Strother says the bill could not work hardship on anyone. He will push the matter before the leg islature.
