No small ;.mount Of speculation has
been made as to the reason why some
$40. 900 worth of insurance. carried by
the local agents Of stock companies. has
been cancelled by the school board Of
Montpelier There is a feeling that it
is the result Of a Ncent circular that
appeared. unsigned. relative to the APP
pointment of insurance commissioner
but about which the local stock com
pany agents claim they had nothing to
do. The cancellation j. not only made
on policies that expire to-day but also
upon insurance that does not termi.
nate until 1924 which makes the spec
ulation deeper. There are three school
buildings. the primary. union and high
school buildings. OF course, the prop
ertv is protected and it is understood
that the insArance has been placed in
mutual companies. including the three
in Montpelier. which can reinsure II
they desire to.
