ruary LIST, at II A. NJ, to hear the report of a

ton, If any, is needed in the interest of the

mend that insurance be taken for longer periods
than one year, and that an agent or agents be
appointed to solicit insurance. The matters
which will be brought before this meeting are
of the greatest Importance, and every member
should be present
Insurance in our home company, all things
considered, is as cheap if not cheaper than in
other companies, and that the company is safe
one does not admit Of a question. 1t should,
however, have policies on much larger amount
of property in this and Baltimore counties than
it has. An increase in the number of good
risks would decrease the average cost of insur-
ance, and make assessments always unnecessary.
To accomplish this result methods of business
more in accordance with those of the safest and
most successful fire insurance companies else
where must be Iesorted to- The changes, how
ever, should be well considered before being
adopted
