the ideas of the new board Of man
ayers, whoever they might be, no de-
finite plans had been formulated.

Cheaper Parcel Post Rates.

After August 18th the weight of par
eel post packages may BE- increased
from II to 20 pounds, with material
reduction in the postage rates in the
first and second zones.
The rate of postage on parcels weigh
ing in excess of four ounces in the pro
posed first zone will be reduced from :
cents for the first pound and l cent for
each additional pound or fraction to
cents for the first pound and cent for
each additional 2 pounds or fraction,
and the rate for the second zone will
be reduced from cents for the first
pound and cents for each additional
pound or fraction to cents for the
first pound and cent for each addi-
tional pound or fraction.
AT the outset it was estimated that
800, O0O,0 parcels would be handled
during the first year of operation, but
it now appears from the statistics that,
influenced by the changes proposed Sat
urday, the service will be so popular
lied that the number of parcels carried
during the ensuing II months will be
more than double the original estimate.
Postal experts estimate that, with
the proposed changes in the parcel post
system in operation, the revenues OF
the postoffice department will be SO in
creased as to show substantial sur
plus at then end of the year.

New Fire Law.

It will be of interest to persons car
rying fire insurance to know that new
law passed at this session of the legis-
lature requires policy holders sustain
ing fire loss must report the conditions
of the fire to the chief of the local fire
department or the state fire marshal
before proof of loss on the policy shall
be made. The law reads:
''The occupant and owner of any
premises upon which any fire shall oc-
cur shall Immediately give written no.
tice thereof, specifying the time, place,
amount of damage, and cause so far as
known, to the chief of the fire depart
ment, when the property is located
where there is fire department, or if
there be none, then to the state fire
marshal at Madison, Wisconsin. Such
notice may be sent by mail. No proof
of loss under any policy of insurance
shall be made until such notice has
been given by or in behalf of such oc-
cupant or owner, and notice given by
one shall be sufficient for both owner
and occupant. A form of such notice,
approved by the state fire marshal, re-
citing this subsection, shall be attach
ed to every policy of fire insurance is
sued in this state.

Interurban Project Again Given a
Chance

The common council of Madison has
again granted franchise to the Chi
cago & Wisconsin Street Railway Co.,
which is tied to the following condi-
tons:
The company must commence con-
struction in that city before January
1st next or forfeit.
Must build the line from Madison to
Portage and from Madison to James
Vile before Jan. l, 1915, or forfeit.
Must build the line from Madison to
Prairie du Sac and complete its system
before Jan. /, 1916, or forfeit.
Before doing any work it must have
a deposit in a bank or trust company in
Chicago of 100000 and pay the city
$40, 900 damages for tearing up portions
of the streets in that city,
If the people seeking the new con-
cessions really mean business there may
be some likelihood of an interurban
road through this locality in the near
future. It might be well not to place
too much confidence in the proposition,
however.
