FIREMEN'S RELIEF FUND.

The firemep's relief fund collected
this year by the state from fire in
surance companies doing business
in Kansas will be distributed TO
III towns in the state. Charles H.
Luling, state superintendent of in
surance, has completed the compi-
lation of the list. Last year 116
towns were included in the list.
Hays City was dropped this year.
and St. John and Baxter Springs
added.
Under the provisions of the law2
per cent of the fire insurance pre-.
miums collected in each town hav-
ing fire apparatus valued at $1,000
or over is set aside for the firemen's
relief fund. Each town ia given
the amount of money collected In
it, the division not being pro rata
one. Hays City was dropped from
the list this year because the mayor
of the town refused to certify that
the fire apparatus had an actual
cash value of $1,000.
The firemen's fund last year Nas
$24,40447. Mr.. Luling thinks that
the fund will amount to more than
$25, 900 this year. 1t will be distrib-
uted on April l, 1904. The funds
are used for the relief of firemen
who are disabled in the line of
duty. The most usual disposition
of the money is to purchase acct
dent insurance on the lives of the
firemen, and the retention of the
balance, If there be any from year
to year, in a fund from which un.
looked for expenses may be paid.
The actual cash value of Baxter
Springs FIRE apparatus, including
building, ladders, chemical en-
CINE, etc., is about $500.
