An ORGANIZATION CONTEMPLATED RoR MUTUAL
PROTECTION.

An oRdANEzATIoH CONTEMPLATED ron MUTUAL
PROTECTION.
Some of the members of the Loan AssociA-
tions Of this city have conceived the idea that
concert of action bearing upon legislative enact
ments under which they are now suffering will
enable them 10 obtain the relief which is 80
much needed Measures were therefore adopt
cd, last evening, looking towards the organiza-
tion OF the several Loans of the city into one
body for mutual benefit and protection.
The initiative was taken by the Franklin,
which held a meeting, last evening, and ap-
pointed q committee Green and Il. f..
Bogia-to meet with similar committees, which
it Is expected will be appointed by the other
Loans, and the committees 30 appointed will ma
ture the plans of the organization. The Secre-
tAry Of the Franklin WAS directed to correspond
with the Secretaries OF the other Loans and re-
quest the appointment of such committees.
The movement, we understand, has the sane
ton Of many Of those most deeply interested in
Loan Associations and it is believed will re-
ceive no opposition from any source. Its need
is felt not alone for protection, but also for the
many beneficial effects which would accrue from
such union. Among these, the subject OF in
surance, it is claimed, stands pre-eminently
highest.
Several Thousand dollars are annually paid
away for insurance by the Loan Associations, OF
to speak more accurately. the average paid by
each Association is about S2l0. making an ag-
gregate for the eighteen Associations in the city
Of s, ,813 81. This amount il is believed can be
saved to the Associations by the organization Of
an Insurance Company Of their own.
When the committees are appointed from oil
the other Loans and the organization isletfected
we shall take occasion TO again refer to the sub
ject. For the present We will state only what Il
PROPOSED.

LIGHT House. DAMAGED AND ABANDONED. Last
Friday, heavy field Of ice drifted down against
the light house in the Chesapeake, of Love
Point, Kent Island and broke away three Of the
fender piles, and rushing under the house broke
the Northwest ice breaker of the building and
bent another, thus rendering the house unsafe.
The inmates, Capt. Joseph G, Smith and Mr..
Charles Erdman, regarding themselves in an un-
safe place took their boat and started ashore.
The ice, however, swept down between them
and the shore, and they drifted about all night
and until the next day.
