MERCHANTS PLAN NEW
SYSTEM TO FIGHT FIRES

Spreckels, who has passed it on to the
businessmen for what it is worth.
On account of his connection with the
graft prosecution and the attacks that
would be directed at him IL he per-
senally participated in the promotion
OF the proposed corporation, Spreckels
has turned the results of his investiga-
tlons over to the businessmen and sug-
sested that they prosecute the work =
they consider it feasible.
Inc plan has been warmly approved
by several large purchasers of insur-
ance, who are especially taken with
the idea OF stock subscriptions based
on the amount of premiums saved by
return to normal rates. The purchaser
OF a $4,000 policy has estimated that
his annual saving would be $4,000. For
the period of four years, which Ii Is
estimated would elapse before the CITY
could install and operate a plant. this
purchaser of insurance would save
$4,000 by a return to his old rate.
Without the sale water system he will
be compelled to pay this $4,000 for
protection. With the salt water system
ne can have the same amount of In
sured protection and the ultimate re-
turn of his $4,000 with a reasonable
rate of interest
1t is pointed out that the majority
of insurance purchasers are not the
men who buy $4,000 policies. But on
the other hand the installation of a
salt water system would enable many
now deprived of insurance to buy poll
cies great or small and for those who
are able to get insurance now effect
savings that would make possible stock
subscriptions ranging from $50 or
500 up.
