FOREIGN INSURERS
Asked to Pungle Up Their License
Fees

Fees
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8.-Each of
thirty-four European fire insurance
companies doing business in this State
has been presented with an official de-
mand by Insurance Inspector Clunie for
unpaid license fees, which in majority
of the cases run back twelve years and
which aggregate $279, 58O.9S.
These license fees were imposed by
a law enacted March 8, 1885, requiring
foreign insurance companies operating
in this State to pay annually per cent
on their premiums to the treasurer of
every county or city and county in which
the business was done, for the benefit of
the firemen's relief fund Of such county
or city and county: The law has not
been enforced, because Of a
decision Of the Supreme Court, obtained
soon after it's enactment, holding that 1t
imposed a municipal tax, which could
be levied only by municipality.
Commissioner Clunie, however, main
tains the States right to impose such a
license as the one contemplated. and
that 1t Is the duty of the insurance COM
missioner to deny the companies refus-
ing to pay the fees permission to do
business. He declares, moreover, that
he shall enforce the law In case his de-
mands are not honored by the 1st of
February.

SAN BERNARDIN0 COUNTY
REDLANDS

REDLANDS, Jan. 6.-(Regular Cor
respondence) A. H. Revis, the former
member of the Salvation army and self
confessed thief, who was sentenced to
San quentin by Judge Campbell for one
year as a penalty for a list of larcenies
extending back to 1888, was brought to
Redlands last evening. He was permit
ted to collect some money due him and
to settle some bills and babe his family
good bye. He was then returned to the
county Jail and was started for San
Quentin today.
W. M. Bristol of Highland, who has
been active In securing a better road be-
tween that place and Redlands, was
before the board of city trustees last
evening to report the progress made in
repairing the road. He stated that cash
subscriptions had been made on the
Redlands side to the amount of STA and
subscriptions Of labor amounting to
$146. On the Highlands side about $3.50
has been subscribed in all. The team
sters engaged do two days work for one
days pay, thus practically doubling the
amount of the cash subscriptions. Mr..
Bristol stated that $3.50 in cash was re-
quired to finish the road through the
wash to the south side of the Santa Ana.
and asked the assistance of the board
in raising. the amount. The trustees
voted to expend 5000 of the city's funds
for this purpose.
Bids for furnishing the city $50 sign
boards and posts for naming and num-
bering the streets preparatory to free
delivery of mail, were opened last even
ing. There were several bidders in
amounts ranging between $13s.S5 and
$S41.75. The former bid, which was that
of o. j. Wolf, was accepted.
Postmaster Philips states that Red

service in so short time. But 1t will
be arranged as soon as possible and may
be commenced by the 1st of March.
