MAY DO A BONDING BUSINESS.
Feature of Business Proposed by
Local Insurance Concern.

Local Insurance Concern.
The merging Of the Lincoln and Potomac
Insurance Companies Is practically COM
pleted Since the return from Europe of
Mr.. John T. Arms. the prospective presi-
dent of the united companies, most of the
stock of the Lincoln company has been ex-
changed for stock Of the Potomac company
SO that the latter concern is now principal
stakeholder in the Lincoln company. Under
these circumstances the permanent change
in the officers of the Potomac company will
be made, 1t Is expected, in a short time.
In addition to writing fire insurance in
this District, as well as in any part of the
country, the charter Of the Potomac COM
pany, Mr.. Arms states, also permits the
company to do any sort of insurance bust
ness, and in addition a bonding business.
This latter privilege he says, he had in
view when the negotiations for the merg-
Ing OF the two companies We're In progress.
but no announcement was made at the
time. Since then new company has been
practically organized to do bonding bust
ness, and just prior to Mr.. Arms leaving
the city and since his return he has called
the attention OF. some of those interested
in the new enterprise to plan for uniting
with the Potomac company that instead
of there being two local concerns engaged
in the bonding business there will be only
one with a capital of sufficient amount to
carry on the business successfully.
He points out that one advantage of
uniting forces would be that at the outset
they would have a business that pays per
cent on a large capitalization, based on the
value of what is now being done by the
two insurance companies.
Another advantage, Mr.. Arms thinks, in
combining the insurance with the bonding
business Is that as tho Potomac. in enter
ing the general insurance field. will have to
establish agencies In various cities. such
agents can just as well represent bond
ing feature Of the business. and in this way
the expense of two separate agencies will
be avoided. Mr.. Arms says that of course
he does not know what action will be
taken by those interested in the proposed
new company in regard to this proposition
and 1t may be said that the matter has
only been called to the attention of the
promoters Of the new enterprise in an in
formal manner. Some of those interested
in the new concern are inclined to doubt
the suft1ciency of the charter of the Poto-
mac company to do a bonding business
throughout the country. and are of the
opinion that additional legislation will be
required. However, as stated, the matter
mas not been formally presented to or con-
sidered by those Interested in the proposed
new COMPANY

since that time has been residing with

According to Mrs. Killigan, her father OF
late has been offering his property for sale
at a price far below its value. and in her
opinion the condition of his mind is such

some person to take charge Of and direct

In answer to the petition. II Is stated in
behalf of Mr.. Kane that he Is entirely sane
that his income amounts to only 81 a
month derived from rental, and on ii he is
