FIRE UNDERWRITERS HAVE
HUSTLING ORGANIZATION
New Executive Committee Is Actively
at Work for Good of Insurance
Agencies in Los
Angeles

Although the executive committee or
the Los Angeles Fire Underwriters as
ISOLATION has been in Office only two
months the members are already max
ing a name for themselves as hustlers
for the association. They are watch
ing for opportunities to further the WORK
of fire insurance men in Southern Call
fornia. and miss no opportunities.
When the question of restricting the
fire limits came before the city council
and some doubt was expressed as to
the opinion of fire insurance men, the
executive committee lost no time In
getting together to draft a succinct let
ter which clearly set forth the insur-
ance attitude on the matter. The letter
will have a good effect outside Los An
geles by showing the energy of the local
insurance men.
The executive committee has plans
for 1909 which will demonstrate the
hustling qualities of the membership
of the Los Angeles Fire Underwriters
association. The latter has member
ship of more than 100 firms, represent
ing eighty-eight companies.
Officers of the association are Louis
p. Vetter, president; Egbert Van Allen.

LIBRARY FOR PATIENTS is
ESTABLISHED AT HOSPITAL
County Institution Has Book Auxiliary
Made Possible by Funds Raised
by Christian Union of
the City

The carpentry work on the reading
room of the county hospital has been
completed and it is in readiness for the
first installment of books, which are
to be furnished by the City union of
the Christian Endeavor societies of Los
Angeles.
The City union conceived the idea of
providing a reading room for the pa
tients at the hospital and it raised
funds for the purpose. Book cases
have been constructed and are large
enough to contain the first installment
of one hundred volumes of standard
literature, which also will be donated
by the City union.
1t is the purpose of conducting the
reading room the same as a public
library and it will be opened January
l. One of the patients will be en-
ployed as librarian and cards will be
issued to all patients who wish to take
advantage of the innovation. All books
can be kept for one week, and addi-
lions to the library will be made at in
tervals. Copies of the daily papers,
which will be donated by the various
newspaper publishers of Los Angeles,
will be on file.
