! ALBANY. Feb. o. Senator Gittins dem.
iagara- Orleans dist rict) called up his
concurrent resolution in the Senate to day
requesting the representatives OF New
York state in Congress to favor an ex-
tension Of the parcels post. The Senate
adopted the resolution without word OF
discussion and with no opposition.
! Assemblyman Murray introduced bill!
placing the New York Fire Insurance Ex-
change under the anti-monopoly law.
Il do not see any suggestion in the
report OF the legislative investigation
COMMITTEES nor in the minority report Of
that committee which would relieve the
people of the state from the exorbitant
charges Of this trust. said Mr.. Murray.
The only solution of this problem Ia
the dissolution Of this trust, which Is not
covered by any law in this State, The
fire insurance companies doing business
in this State know very we'll what risks
they can assume and what is proper rate.
II thcy do not they will not remain In
business. The suggestion that the aboli-
ton Of the exchange will be to the detri-
ment OF the insured is nonsense. Most
OF the real estate in the cities Of the State
OF New York is mort gagged. and the owners
are obliged 20 furnish adequate insurance
to protect the mortgages, Mortgages
would not accept policies of fire insurance
companies that are not reliable and do not
protect them The Fire Insurance Ex-
change of New York has only been In
existence for about twelve years. and
there is no more reason for it's existence
now than there was before that time
By party vote the Assembly adopted
Assernbyrlan Cuvillier's concurrent reso-
luton requesting The President to con-
vene Congress in extra session 20 revise
the tariff downward. There vas an

ton.
