the removal of the superfluous trackage

was In progress. 1t will be necessary TO
leave some of this, but It will be so re-
built that It will not interfere with the
beauty OF the general effect The track
removal will give a wide and level lawn,
which will not be broken up either with
buildings or flower beds. Already all
temporary structures needed for con-
struction purposes have been removed and
their former sites converted into lawns.
The huge cranes and cableways that were
used for conveying concrete from the
mixers to the lock walls and floors are

walls have been cleared of all unnecessary
material.
The village Of Gatun, which will house
the Incorporating force and such mill

the locks, will be greatly beautified
through the addition of many trees and
ornamental shrubs. Additional roadways
and pathways will be built. A new club
house is TO be constructed. the old one

Wisconsin Company Wins.

Under a ruling of Insurance Com
missioner M. J. Cleary, policyholders
of mutual company in the same class
will be entitled to like percentage Of
dividend, based upon the premium con-
tribution of the several policyholders.
The decision is given in the case OF
the John H. Kaiser Lumber company
against the Lumberman's Mutual Cas-
ualty company of Illinois.
The complaint charges that Wiscon-
sin policyholders engaged in logging
or sawmill operations were placed in
class B, and dividend of 10 per cent
was declared for that class. Policy
holders engaged in the same lines in
Michigan were placed in class A and
dividend of 25 per cent declared to
all policy holders in that class.
The complaint specifically charged
that Wisconsin policyholders were dis
eliminated against, and that such dis
elimination is in violation Of law. The
decision Of Insurance Commissioner
Cleary upholds the reasonableness of
the complaint

Prosperity Makes Men Good.

Has the changed industrial condition
in Wisconsin stopped the flood of the
population in the state prison? Or,
has some other influence operated to
bring about the ebb now appearing in
the record?
Secretary NJ. J. Tappins of the state
board Of control says that, in his
opinion, the explanation lies in the
first suggestion and that because
times are better" there are fewer
men in state prison. Eight months
ago the board of control was worried
over the prospect, confidently expect
ing that by the end CT the fiscal year
1856 the number of convicts would
reach LOO. At that time the popu-
lation Of the prison was 921, record
for the institution.
Since then, however, conditions
have reversed and has been a gradual
decrease until now the total is only
896. Today the board of control meets
and sits as a pardon and parole board
at the prison and will probably grant
freedom to twenty-five or thirty, bring
ing the total population to about eight
hundred and seventy.

State Meets Fire losses.

According to advices received from
President John Keith of the Oshkosh
Normal school the loss to be
be paid by the state insurance fund
will approximate $4,000. While this
loss will make big inroad on the
state insurance fund, there is enough
money on hand to meet the loss, which
is now being adjusted. the balance be-
ing over $2O3,000
1t will not be necessary to borrow
any money from the general fund, as
stated by Insurance Commissioner
Cleary in an interview the other day.
After the loss is paid there will still be
a balance of over 100000 in the fund.
with 100000 in premiums due on
July 1.
In the past few years Wisconsin has
been the victim of succession of dis
astrOus fires. Despite the burning Of
the capitol, the Superior Normal
the Oshkosh fire, and other smaller
losses, the state fire fund has kept
its head above water. This, in spite
of the fact that the state is taking
large risks on costly buildings, which,
under the law, must be insured up to
80 per cent of their value, thus making
a wide distribution of its business i'm.
possible.
From a standpoint of insurance, IA
figured by the big companies, this Is
unfortunate, but the state is provid
ing fund for the rebuilding of de-
stroyed buildings.
The state charges so per cent of the
rate fixed by the stock fire insurance
companies and in the twelve years in
which the fund has been in operation,
the state has set aside $450,000 in
premiums and paid back $1,000 in
losses. The expense Of administration
has been trifing, being but $500 in
the twelve years, which is but per
cent of the premiums, compared to the
40 per cent spent by stock fire insur-
ance companies.
According to the last annual report
of Insurance Commissioner Herman l..
Ekern, the state has saved in insurance
premiums a total of $293,747 to April
1, 1915. Had the state charged the
same rate as private fire insurance
companies, the balance in the insur-
ance fund would be over half mil.
lion.
