CITY ESTIMATE
OF FIRE LOSS
HELD TOO HIGH
Chiefs Report 100000
Under Actual Damage,
Say Insurance Firms.

Fire Chief Jesse Hutsell estimates
fire loss in Indianapolis for the first
six months of 1927 at approximately
100000 less than figures of settle
ments by insurance companies show
it actually to have been, according
to two reports made public today.
Hutsell declared the loss the first
half of this year was 1927, 1892, as
compared with $416,873 for the same
period of 1926.
The report of Lieut.. Vern Earle of
the Indianapolis Salvage Corps, OPP
Grated by insurance underwriters,
stated that it is impossible to give
exact figures because settlements on
several large fires, including that at
st. Patrick's Catholic Church, have
not beeen made definitely.
Loss About 100000
However, Earle stated, available
figures show that insurance COM
panies, which settle for no more
than they are compelled to, total
their Indianapolis loss at between
$4,000 and $405,000, depending
upon accurate figures upon the sew
eral big blazes.
The insurance figures for the loss
for the same period of 1926 was
$460,755.
Hutsell accompanied his report
with statement that his men had
decreased the fire loss approximate
ly $4,000 in six months. The Earle
report shows actual decrease to
have been about 100000 and that
the amount of loss was approx
mately 100000 higher than Hutsell
figured it.
Estimates After Five DAYS
The fire department figures come
from estimates made within five
days of the blaze.
The salvage corps figures are
obtained after final settlement of
the actual losses by the Under
writer's Adjustment Company and
the Western Adjustment Company,
which cover all fire losses in Indian
apolis.
Earle reported there were fewer
shingle roof fires the first half of
the year than in 1926, and that
there were 1892 alarms as compared
with 2,120 in the first half of 1926.

Weather conditions have made 1t
impossible to get the best control of
the first brood of cooling moth
worms or apple worms in many

The alternate cold and wet periods

AS a result there will be an appre-
