Colby executed n morlgage"on some ; property for the sum ot $8,000 ; In favor br Kimball & Champ and the later sold It to the Franklin Saving bank. Later on he concluded to pay off this mortgage and take out another and he Instructed Kimball & Champ to do so. Now the Franklin Sav- lags bank mortgage turns up unsatisfied , and In addition there are several other for smaller amounts , aggregating about $4,000 , making the total Incumbrance on the prop- erty $12,000 and over , In spite of' ' the fact that Colby received but $8000.

Instead the whole state wi be reratel upon n more equitable basis , the tariff on 11welnK3 bIng materially reduced , while on the more hazardous classes there will probably be I slight increase. In this rcratng the companIes are to bear the expense proportionately.
