ubono suggestion Of G. +, Bilungs
the cGtfAGil wifi invite ]. NJ. McCuhe,
secfetaiy Of the Board of Fire Insur-
ante Underwriters, with headquarters
at Portland, to come to Ashland and
make a special investigation of fire
protection here. In an effort to Sc
cure equitable insurance rates for
portions of the city where, according
to the city officials, the water pres
sure is far above requirements, the
counci! has contemplated appealing
to the state public utilities commits
sion following upon the refusal of in
surance underwriters, who recently
visited the city, to entertain any idea
of equitable rates because of a tech
nicality which demands that a GER
tain size of water main be installed.
Mr.. Billings suggested that Mr.. Nc
Cune, who is the head of the board
and has more authority than the men
who were here, be invited here, stat
ng as mis- belief that when shown the
ample pressure in the various sec
ions, the lower rate would be grant
I'd. The insurance men of the city
will join in an appeal to Mr.. McCune
o visit Ashland. The appeal to the
Commission will be withheld
waiting the outcome of the invita-
ion to Mr.. McCune.

in "The Bank" you have before you
the most mirthful hour of your life.
With Chaplin comes Triangle fea-
ture film starring Helen Ware in
powerful drama OF love rivals laid
in Washington, D. c., and an island
