promptly did. There for the time at

Soon the tunnel was tunnel no

The mud flowed for hours. Then II
gradually slowed and ceased.

STATE INSURANCE.

Since the destruction ~ the school
for deaf. there has been considerable
discussion regarding the advantage ol
disadvantage of the state carrying
Insurance on its property. The Uni
versity Of Michigan is the only state
institution carrying insurance. and that
was taken out by the university itself
last week.
Auditor General Fuller contends tina,
If the state carried insurance ON all it,
buildings and properties. the premiums
for a single year would almost equal
the loss by IRE and storm the past de-
cade. he says that from November Z.
1902 to July 80. 1911 the total loss TO
state property was si75.es252. He
places the value OF property owned 10y
the state al sls.sS4.2577o
The subject cf insurance win no
doubt be taken up AT the next regular
or special session ol the legislature
Regent Beal. of the L. Of NJ. believes
each state Institution ought to set
aside a fund FOR insurance and the en-
tire amount be carried by the state in
separate fund 10. be drawn from in
case OF loss by fire. This would re g.
quire each state institution to share
its equal amount Of insurance preni.
