First Purchase VIII Represent an invest
ment Of si.25oooo.
Members OF the Modern Woodmen in
this city as in other towns in Houghton
county will be interested in knowing
that it has been decided TO invest some
of the surplus funds of the society in
bonds and that some Of those to be
purchased are Adams township school
bonds. This will bring money that is
now locked up IN the vaults of some
OF the banks in Illinois and other
states into Houghton county. The Ish
peming department Of the Mining
Journal yesterday contained the follow
ing
Director g. j. Byrns, OF the Mod
ern Woodmen OF America, who recent
~ returned from regular monthly
meeting OF the executive council OF the
society at Rock Island, ILL.,, yesterday
said tnat the board had decided 10
hereafter invest its surplus funds in
government, municipal and school
bonds, instead Of placing it in differ
ent repositories throughout the juris-
diction.
The first purchase of bonds repre-
senis an investment Ct 81, 800. 900,
which Will bear interest of from 70
All per cent per amman. Among them
will be $0s, 0OO OF school bonds OF
Adams township, Houghton county.
The money invested at this time will
be taken from the pending claim fluid
in which there is NJ present about 81, :
900, 700. This fund has been growing
Of late. All of the money payable ON
account of deaths for which proper
death claims are not presented within
certain time is transferred TO this
fund. There are many instances where
notices OF death are slow In coming 10
headquarters.
Two trustees. one in Chicago and
the other in Kansas City. have been
appointed 90 aid In securing the most
desirable bonds IN which to invest the
funds The trustees will be obliged To
give either collateral or surety bond
for sums exceeding by 10 per cent the
face value OF the bonds, with interest,
that will be in their keeping.
1T 10 thought that this action on
the part Of the board will DO generally
approved by the members. aud IL will
not only result In bringing a larger
amount OF interest money into the
treasury. but will also insure the SOC
iety against such financial losses as
were incurred a few months ago by the
failure Of a bHnk in Illinois, which
was one Of the order depoaitaries. -
