times, have fallen behind with their
dues; and whereas, we desire their

than their money; therefore
Resolved, That we hereby remit all
back dues of members in arrears,
provided they come in and pay the

1894; and the secretary is hereby di-

ed the present condition of that COM
pany, and in answer to questions
asked him by members of the COM
mittee said that the said company
is mutual company, apd losses are
met after they occur by assessment of
the members insured. The secretary
has been anxious to avoid needless
expense, and in order to do so has
made but one assessment, levied Jan.
2, 1894, for 81, 700, which he expected
would be sufficient to meet all past
losses and leave a surplus to meet
small losses in the future.
