OPPOSITION TO CLAUSES.
Those Dealing with the Converting Of

That the insurance men of Salt Lake

understood win introduce these meas
ures, and they viii differ considerably
from the stookey bills. already before
the senate.
Two clauses iu the present measures
are responsible for most Of the opposi-
tion 10 them. one deals with the con-
Vorting OF policies on which payment
has lapsed after three premiums have
been turned in, into paid-up policies
and the other deals with the payment
~ hro insurance. Opposition chiefly
centers on tho latter clause. which is
as follows.
Whenever any policy % insurance
shall De written TO insure real property,
and the property insured shall be who'll
ly destroyed, without criminal fault on
the part Of the insured or his assigns,
the amount of insurance written In
such policy shall be taken conclusiVely
TO be the true value OF the property
when insured and the true amount Of
loss and measure Of damages when de-
stroYed. In case such property Is only
partially destroyed the Insurance COM
pany shall have the option 20 rebuild or
