(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.] RSEFTON, January 26. The Association of Fire Insurance Companies, a little time back, sent for Mr Meddings, Inspector of Telegraphs, Christ* church, to inspect the Reef ton Electric Light Works and connections, and he having reported unfavorably as regards insulation, switches, and cut outs, the Insurance Companies notify that unless these are made safe before the 14th February they will cancel the policies.
