Dear Sir

I saw the Agent in regard to the insurance and the old policy has been extended to Aug 18^th noon.

Your memo. was House $1000, Barn & shed $700, carts wagons $500, Hay $200 Horses $1200, total $3600. -

Agent says the company will not take but $1500 on any one barn & property in it, but if you will put $1000 more on house, he can take out a policy in another company & make up the amount on barn, all this at old rates.

Respectfully. J.W. Lovering Sup^t

Hon. Edward Lawrence

Dear Sir

Please find on the following page the annual cost of running the engine connected with our Fountains.

I tried the experiment of keeping no fireman in May, but as the Engineer keeps a general oversight at the East gate, I found he could not do the work alone. The Engineer's time from April 1^st to Dec. 1^st I charge in to cost of running the engine , but from Dec. 1^st to April 1^st, five months, I think his time should be charged to general expenese, as he acts as gatekeeper thru the year at the East Gate. It would be necessary, in fact even if the waterworks were removed, to keep a man in charge of that gate.

The cost of pumping seems high, but I think we could pump more water with a slight increase in expense. were it necessary.

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering
