FOR CHIEF
Since tbe last issue. Engine 1, Hose 1 and Hose 2 have endorsed "present officers for jiresent jiositions." This leaves Hose 3 yet to meet. So far there has been no ojijiosition to any of fhe Jiresent oHicers jilaced in the field. If the election this year is without oji¬ position, it will be the first time in a good many years, and a thorough en¬ dorsement of Chief Loonam's adminis¬ tration.
At the meeting of Hose 2,    Tuesday
evening, the    following   oflicers   were
nominated:    Foreman, JohnT. Cotter;

A WORD ABOUT FIRE INSURANCE Have you ever given the matter of proper insurance of your home careful consideration? This would seem like a foolish question, were it not for the fact that I have found many people who have not done so. Take for in¬ stance, you may have insurance of $4500 or $1000 or more on your furni¬ ture, yet if you would take an inven¬ tory, putting down what it would cost you to replace the articles you have insured, in many cases you would find that you have not insurance to cover one-half of what your losa would be in case of your home Deing burned.
It seems peculiar, but there are many pwople who have not one cent of insurance on their furniture, evidently preferring to take the chances of the place catching fire, or not thinking about it at all. If this item will in duce some man or woman who cannot aflfcrd to lose their savings in case of fire, to see their insurance agent and get out a poliey-at once, I will feel re¬ paid for having written it.
Aa I have remarked in this column before, the cost is not very much. Take for instance to insure your furni¬ ture for $1000 for 3 years, the price is $5, an average of less tban 4 cents per week.
