INSURANCE UNION.
Its Companies Have Subscribed
to the Fire Fund.

The insurance companies connected with
the so-called " Fire Department Fund
maintain that the published items on the
subject of their position are liable to do
many an injustice, besides conveying an
erroneous impression generally. 1t was at
first proposed that the Pacific Insurance
Union contribute $4,000 toward 100000 to
be raised for fire department purposes; but
subsequently it was found to be out of the
jurisdiction of that association, and that
members could not constitutionally be
taxed to contribute thereto. and therefore.
of necessity. that the proposed action had
to be abandoned.
As an indication that the comp anies are
willing to help in this emergency, the fol-
lowing have agreed to subscribe the
amounts being their pro rata proportion)
being contingent upon the total of 100000
being raised. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the companies which have here
tofore declined to subscribe will come into
line, and that though some may refuse.
others may increase their subscriptions. 1t
is anticipated that the sum of $4,000, or
nearly that amount, will be secured. pro-
vided the citizens come forward with the
other $4,000 The subscribing companies
