An Act will be introduced into the Ontario Legislature by Mr. Duff of 'West Simeoe, making it compulsory, for toweships to pay for the iejuries indicted on sheep by dogs, when the owner of the dogs cannot be found. At present the payment is optional on the part of the township. The village of Granton is the centre of and headquarters for "the largest" bay pressing and shipping firm in Can- ada. During the past season hundreds of thousands of tons of thiseammodity has been shipped by NVin Baynes to the United States, England, South Africa and other parts of the world. The 11iigh Court of Justice decided a • case 'of nterest to &rinses last week. \ The decision settles this point, that a fire policy bolder cannot collect in- surance on property which was occopi- ed when insured but unoccupied when - burned. The moral is to notify the company if you intend to vacate an in- sured peenperty.

The deceas- ed was at one time a resident of Lon - &'n. being •enoltged in the wholesale business with r•Joseph Atkinson, but has lately bead in Toronto. He was 55 years old. A bull clog weighing about 150 pounds, owned by G. H. Gunter, jewel- ler, Listowel, jumped on a horse and tore the flesh of the latter's neck very badly with its teeth, which required fifty-two stitches. The cause for the dog's actions is unknown, except that it had been muzzled for some time, and when the muzzle had beeu taken off it took advantage of its freedora. The brute will likely he shot. The Canadian Commissioners for the Paris Exposition have furnished an office at No 10 de Rome, Paris, for the convenience of Canadian visitors, and the Canadian nornmissioners are anx- ious that all Canadians who visit Paris should use it while there. Canadians can have their letters addressed to this office and upon their arrival get in- formation as to living,accommoclation, etc. T. A. Auld, M. P. P., of Essex states that there are now twenty-five fac- tories handling Canadian tobacco leaf.

This House, on bothsides, claims to be the farmers' cord of names will dn. and I trust that this House will place itself on record as favorable to my BM. TEM Ho. rot. sTRATTON (Provincial Secretary) said be hoped the honorable gantlet (11113 ( Eilber) would not press his Bill. He ateeptecl wbat the honor- able gentleman said as to the unani- mity existing in his County in support, of the Bill, but thought if the people friends, and I wa,nt to see how far the these really understood the dangers members will go in giving such legisla- tion to the farmers of this Province as they consider to be in their interest. I do not want to take up much time. but. T want to say that I can readily and easily understand why it should be thought by some unwise to make the term of insurance longer than three years, by those companies doing busi- ness in the city of Toronto or in any other city in the Province where they have their business scattered over the whole of this Province, and where not a manager or director knows anything of the property insured outside of the information given in the application received from the agent, and in the case of such companies I think it would be wrong to allow them to issue poli- cies for longer than the three years; but I am representing a Farmers' Com- pany which is carrying about chree million dollars of risk in my constitu- ency; that company is composed of only farmers; at the last annual meet- ing they said they believed it to their interest to have the pnwer of issuing policies for five years, and they signed that petition which I presented of 216 members who attended the meeting. In our Company some one at least of the Diredtors knows every risk we have. We do not do a business scat- tered over the whole Province, but we do business entirely in three or four townships, and we will not insure in our Coninany any risk unless we have a personal knowledge of the risk we are undertaking. If the members of. our Company who have the interests of that Company at stake if the Di- rectors of the Company who have con- ducted the affairs of the Oompany for the 'wit 25 years, believe it is to their interest to have the power to issue pol- icies for five years, the Government should give them that, power. Who can have the interest of the Company more at beart than the members thereof? The Attorney -General the other day said, referring to my Bill, "If the mover's object was to extend the terra so as to save the cost of the renewal fees, which be understood was sometimes fixed at $1,50, all he had to say was, that. there was no statutory authority for the imposition of this fee." Mr. Speaker, as an insurance man, I was surprised when I beard the At- torney -General make that statement. That statement has gone through 11- comitry that farmers' insurance co.,. panies in this Province are allowing their agents to collect from the assur- ed $1.50 as agent fees when it is with- out statutory authority. T wish to read Section 123 of Chapter 203, R.S.0, 1897 : ."Nothing herein contained shall prevent a Director from receiving ap- plication for insurance, or from taking to his own use the customary applica- tion, survey. or policy fee, but the said fee shall not exceed $1.50 for ant - one application or policy." That is the law upon the matter and no doubt a debatable question wheth- which nii ht accrue in the extension, they wou d not he so much in favor of the Bill. Mr. Stratton tionsidered that the three years term was it long , enough time to elapse before there was a revision of the contract of In-' stwance. Some change might be made in the premises which would material- ly affect the risk (for instance chim- ney might be changed), and. in case of loss this would leave it open to the Companies who wished to act sharply to repudiate their liability under the policy. There was danger in this re- spect in the present three year policy, dart that danger would be greatly In- creased by the extension of the con- tract to five years. MR.
