LOW WATER IN POTOMAC
AFFECTS CANAL TRAFFIC
Third Boat to Reach Washington in
Week Arrived Late
Last Night.

Low water in the upper Potomac
with It's corresponding effect on Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal traffic, is. holding
up canal boats and restricting the ship
ment of coal into Washington by this
inland water route. The third boat to
reach Washington in a week arrived in
Georgetown late last night. Ordinarily
at this season the canal towage Is a
big factor in increasing the capitals
coal supply. but unless water condi-
tons change it will be a much reduced
factor this fall.
The canal towpath, which has been
most popular with wanderlusters this
year was OF deserted yesterday.
There were signs of life around every
shack and cottage, while chestnut
hunters were out in fun force.
Bob Barr of the District building. who
spends most of his time in the big out
doors when he is not working for the
local government, and who generally
discovers the first arbutus in the spring,
walked from Great Falls into the city
Yesterday by the canal route. He re-
ported a scarcity of chestnuts due to a
blight which has affected chestnut
trees this year He brought with him,
sweet" the forest shrub that mixers
always search for during the fall, but
seldom find in this section.
Those who went angling along the
canal yesterday had little luck, but
lock tenders reported that cells are be-
ginning to 'run,' and several of them
who have eel trops in operation re-
ported catches of several hundred
pounds. Eels are now bringing an UNI
usually high price on the local mar
considerably augmented from now on
through canal shipments.

CALLS INSURANCE
EXPENSES TOO HIGH
Charles F. Nesbit Tells Fire
Companies District May
Take Over Business.

Citing figures to show that losses
paid by fire insurance companies in
the District of Columbia equal only
So cents out of each dollar paid in pre-
miums, Charles F. Nesbit, superin
tendent Of insurance, in his annual re-
port to the Commissioners today
warns the companies that unless they
take steps to reduce expenses it Will
become extremely probable that the
state will undertake the business Of
fire insurance.
Since the establishment of the fire in
surance department, in 1902. there has
been received in premiums by fire in
suTanCe companies total OF S10,S20,-
536 while total losses paid have amount
ed to S3.S11,ST6. the report shows. The
losses. therefore. are but little more
than one-third of the premiums paid.
In considering the problem of the
cost OF fire insurance and the methods
by which it may be reduced Mr.. Nesbit
says he can think of but three practical
methods:
First. Competition between the in
surance companies selling fire insur-
ance.
Second. The making and fixing of
rates by the state.
Third. State or municipal insurance.
He proposes, as a practicable plan.
that the business could be conducted
with a commission of Is per cent for
the first year and 5 per cent for re-
newals. The company could take off
10 per cent from the face of the policy
for each renewal, which should go to
the insured and would tend to make
the fire insurance business permanent.
Such system. he states would re-
duce the expense of the fire insurance
business of the country millions OF dol
lars annually.
Mr.. Nesbits reference to the prospect
of the state going into the fire insur-
ance business. however, constitutes the
most interesting part of his report. The
arguments for state fire insurance, he
declares. are exceedingly strong
The report states that total premiums
paid insurance companies of all kinds
in the District last year amounted to
900,437.I6, with total losses amount
ing to 41,1l2.39. These were divided
as follows;
