McLAURIN ANNOUNCES PLANS C FOR STATE WAJlEHIOUSE McLaurin, Prepares for Coming Cotton T Crop-Cone rete for Floor. Other III formation. a( Many inquiries are being received 1 by John L. McLaurin, State warehouse e: commissioner, as to proper construe- b tion of warehouses for the cominig crop. The wareho'use of 1,000 bale capacity is a simple device. To secure a the lowest insurance rate, it is only e necessary, Mr. A lcLaurin says, that c the house shall have tin or metal roof, I sufficient doors in sides and ends, opening outward, the number depend- ' ing on length of sides and elevation f of floor, and wooden sides and ends, d which may be made of thinnest sub- t stantial material. Concrete floor may s be used, if desired. \Vooden floor will materially Increase the insurance rate. The whole house may be of corrugated iron, buit it is only necessary that the roof be of tin or metal. The building should be located at least 100 feet I from any other building. The comminissioner has under ad visiminent planis for the construction of h orses of larger capacity. An effort. is being mude to secure the approval of the insur ance companies for a build ing which may be erected at a rea sonable cost, non which a cheap into of insuranc' may be maintained on a large valuation. Mr. cleLaurin hopes to introduce the reiorting system, whereby preiiiims are paid monthlily upon the cotton in storage each (lay, and upon the daily market value. All the country houses of the State sys tem now have the advantage of this equitable imethod of insurance up to a certain valuation, and the plan is to apply this to the city or large ca pacity warehouses.-The State.
