INSURANCE RATES
REDUCED 5 PER CENT

As result Of efforts by Mayor
Sleeves and Secretary Slade, Of the
Board of Trade, and particularly due
to a letter written by Mr.. Slade to
Secretary McEwen, Of the insurance
underwriters organization in Port
land, insurance rates in Salem have
been reduced per cent in the last
two weeks, and another reduction may
be made in a short time.
The reduction of per cent was
promised by the underwriters at the
time the city purchased the automo-
bile fire engine, but, for some unex-
plainable reason was not granted un-
til the investigation was made by
Mayor Sleeves and Secretary Slade.
These officials we're named as a spe-
cial committee to make investigation
at a recent meeting Of the city coun-
Gil.
A further reduction in rates de-
pends upon whether the city decides to
purchase another auto fire engine.
The reduction has been promised on
condition that the engine is purchased,
but there is a question whether the
engine should be purchased this year.
A sum of $4,000 for the purpose was set
aside in the city budget for this year,
but, because of difficulty in arriving
at a decision as to what make of en-
gine should be purchased the council
three weeks ago decided to postpone
the purchase for at least year.. There
is a possibility, however, that the
question may be revived, with the re-
suit that the engine will be purchased
this summer.
Two representatives of the Portland
underwriters are now in the city and
with Fire Chief Savage have begun an
investigation Of conditions here pre-
paratory to making further reductions
About three weeks will be required fol
the investigation.

Wells. who pitched a n~o-run-no-hit
game against the Saintlets earlier in
the season, was hammered all over the
field yesterday afternoon. The Flick
ertails were defeated 10 to 8.
Grand Forks got enough hits to

pitching staff in a denloralized condi-

for hurting, the Colts had little diff

game. Manager Carney is laboring
under difficulties in getting his pitch
ers back in their early season form.
Wilson still is on the hospital list.
Morse's arm is in bad condition. and
Myers and Wells are not in the right
shape for steady work. Jarnigan is
the only member of the staff thai is
in any kind of condition, and he has
been overworked during the past
week.
