Decatur county farmers will be in
terested 10 learn of a decision given
by a Kansas court in regard to the
general practice of farmers in Using
a portion of their barns as a garage.
a farmer named Morgan lost his
barn by fire, and both of his insur-
ance policies contained clauses that
no gasoline was to be stored in the
building. The insurance companies
contested the claims for settlement
on the grounds that gasoline in the
car was in storage, but the lower
court decided that it was not. The
insurance companies carried their
claim to the supreme court, where
the decision was reversed. The car
was not in the building at the time
of the fire, but the insurance COM
panies held that a portion of the.
contract had been violated.
