NEW FIRE STATION NEEDED.
superintendent Mcguire Getting Bids
for a site.

Supt. Mcguire Of the fire department is
looking into the matter of establishing
new station of the department in the
Southwestern section Notwithstanding
Council did not act upon his recon-
nendation for an appropriation for a new
station, with men and equipment, he has
hopes of being able to accomplish some
thing. There is an allowance for new i'm
provements sufficient 10 cover the cost OF
a site and perhaps of a house also.
Il have received half a dozen bids Of
fering sites ia the southwestern section, -
said the superintendent yesterday. The
bids run all tee way from $500 to $2,5W
have no doubt We will be able 10 get a
site at very reasonable figures, as 1t Will
be an advantage to the property owners
to have an engine house in that section
Somewhere on Eighth street, west, would
be a suitable loca ion, ! think
DO you contemplate establishing a hose
station or simply an engine house?' The
superintendent was asked.
An engine house by all means" he re
piled. "A hose station would be OF little
value. site OF a least 6OXl09 should be
secured, and on that we should erect a
house for an engine combination hook and
ladder and hose wagon. Such station
will require about ten men. With a site
of this size there would be plenty of room
for the police department TO establish
station which is one of the things which
viii soon be needed in that section. The
population is, growing in the southern sec
ton and better fire and police protection
are both needed Besides an addition of
this kind would be Of value to the entire
city. The new company which would be
known as No. 6, would never respond to
any downtown alarms, but would enable
us TO introduce a metropolitan system in
responding TO fire alarms. When the
northern half of the department was call
ed out one or both of the companies now
in the southern section would be moved
to the downtown engine house. and No.
6 would move down TO the quarters of No.

Chief Ferna ndez built the No. engine
house at Barnard and Huntingdon streets
about fifteen years ago he was rdiculed
for building such large quarters out in
the suburbs. To-day No. 4 engine house
is in the center Of the residence section,
and the quarters are barely sufficient for

The Michigan Mutual.

The thirty-second annual statement of
the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany is presented elsewhere in this issue.
The steady increase in assets, reserve
and new business, as well as dividends
paid to policy holders, are noticeable feat
ures in the statement. The Michigan Mu-
tual makes a speciality of high grade pc l.
cies. consequently it's business is largely
obtained from the best class of business
and professional men. By reason of econ
omy in management, a rigid selection of
risks and a high rate of interest earned,
this company grants complete protection,
and claims to do 50 for less premiums
than most of the companies charge.
The funds of the Michigan Mutual Life
Insurance Company are almost exclusively
invested in real estate-loans with an I'M
mediate cash value margin OF 90 per
cent. The real estate owned by the Micn-
igan Mutual Insurance Company must be
carried at its Immediate cash value, -
under the requirements of the insurance
laws of Michigan. None of it's funds are
invested in bank, railroad or other cor
porate company stocks. Only $2S,5OU is IN
vested in bonds of any character.
The assets of the Michigan Mutual L1te
Insurance are, therefore, never attecte !
bv fluctuations in the stock markets, ad-
versely or otherwise.
