SUMMIT, Dec. 9.-Charging that
THE net result of the Ramsay in
surance law is that it has practically
stihed all competition in fire and
liability Insurance in New Jersey"
Henry Billeter, manager of a Phila-
delphia insurance company, who
wrote the above to the Board of
Trade, is to be invited TO address
the board at its January meeting.
The Ramsay law is arbitrary, die
tatoriaI and, in the opinion of Mr..
Billeter, Unconstitutional, and in his
communication, read at last nights
session of the Trade Board, he
urged that body to lend its aid in
the repeal of the law at the coming
session of the Legislature. New
jersey is today in the grasp Of an
insurance trust of the worst form, =
Mr.. Billeter wrote.
President Jagels said that as the
board members had heard Aztec
Brown, State schedule rating expert.
on the advantages and benefits of the
Ramsay law, he believed 1t would be
well to hear the opposite side. It

workings of the law with view to
having such bodies cooperate either
for the repeal or the retention Of the
Ramsay law, after it has been de-
cided whether the new insurance law
is beneficial or detrimental to prop

A request for the adoption of a
resolution approving the Gardner bill
known in Congress as House bill
No. 372, for the appointment of q
commission to investigate the pre-
paredness of tho United States in

Justin f. Abbott, Wesley l.. Baker
and Robert Littell were elected to
membership in the board. Toward
the close of the meeting President
Jagels called attention to the un-
clean condition OF the block pave
ment along the Lackawanna station
in Union place. Mr.. Jagels said the
driveway had not been swept III
many months and he endeavored to
learn whether the city or the Lacka-
wanna Company Is responsible for
the existing condition of the street.
Councilman knight, street commit
tee chairman, was unable to en-
tighten Mr.. Jagel, although the coun-
Gil member did say he didn't believe
the railroad company would be re-
sponsible for cleaning the driveway
any more than would a storekeeper
be liable for the condition OF the
street in front of his place OF bust
ness Councilman knight suggested
that City Engineer Alexander Blair
would know who was the owner Of
the section, the city or railroad COM
pany, but Mr.. Blair didn't advance
the desired information. To Mr..
Jagers question as to whether there
had been any restriction placed on
city employees not to clean the street,
Councilman Knight replied that there
had not.

. Tides Recedes at Seabright.
SEABRIGHT, Dec. 9.-The tides,
which have wrought destruction, here
for two days past, have dropped al
most to normal. The tide ran over, the
bullxheadS, but caused no damage.
The streets, however, due to the
inundation o. the past two days,
coupled with The heavy fall of rain,
are in terrible condition. The streets
drain into the river. The tides in
this body of water having been ex-
cessiVely high, has prevented the
water from draining off the thorough
fares. Much debris is in the streets,
elegging the drainage.
The fishing industry is at a com
piete standstill' as a result OF the
storm.
No additional damage is reported
today except that of the Brentwood
cottage at Monmouth Beach, which
was undermined.
There has been no train in or out
since Monday and it may be day
yet before one comes. No mail has
come in, either. The railroad has a
big force of men working to repair
a break in their rails at Gallilee and
as soon as that is done efforts will
be made to get a train through from
North Long Branch There will be
no train from Atlantic Highlands for
some days as there is a half-mile
stretch north of Seabrlght where the
tracks and the roadbed have been
washed away.
The damage to property is impos-
sible to estibate. Some think 1t is
over $3.50 600, but estimates are all
guess work For instance, the italian
gardens of w. Nelson Cromwell APP
pear to be ruined. No one can esti-
mate the loss there. There are cot
tages that are undermined that may
prove to be so damaged by straining
that they will be nearly worthless.
At Low Moor several cottages stand
without their foundations under them,
having dropped off to the sand. 1t
may be that these are so broken that
when an attempt to lift them is made
thew will COLLAPSE.
