 New London, July 11-With a rep resentative of the insurance exchange at the meeting Mayor Morgan and a number of selected citizens discussed with him the demands of the ex- change which stipulated just what the city must do in the way of laying new water mains. the substitution of Q paid for a volunteer fire department and just how the department must be conducted. to avoid an increase in the rates of insurance. The insurance man consented to go over the plans again and make a few changes, but he gave the mayor and other gentlemen pres eut to understand that if changes were made they would be of minor importance There would be not only insistence- upon a paid fire depart ment but also that there be q change in the head of the department: that there be chief engineer of acknowl- edged executive ability. competent to command and the schooled in practi cal fire fighting on the most approved plan. practically a graduate from a, school such as is maintained in con- nection with the fire department of New York city. Not necessarily a New York fireman. but one selected from this city to receive the school ing.
 To carry out the demands of the in sCrance exchange would mean large and regular additional expense to the city. much larger than would result from the proposed increase in the in surance rates. So much so, that such levei-headed financier as William Belcher. the president of two banks. declared that it would be wisdom to reject the insurance exchange de- mand, accept the increased rate. and thereby escape the much increased taxation that would result from a paid
