Won HANM- YOUNG MAKES RECORD
IN Settling AUTO INSURANCE

The accidental burning of tn,
Thomas Filler automobile owned by
Manuel RCis has opened the eyes OF
many of the automobile owners re.
garding fire insurance The. iHsur.
anCc department of The Won Hamm-
y Young Company place this insurance
and the alacrity with which the COM
pany settled this loss was something
. wonderful. Four days from the time
that the car burned the loss was adj
justcd, appraised, and settled abso-
lutely to the satisfaction of Mr.. Refs
This quickness OF action is proven
bial with The Won llamm-Young Com
pany, as every loss which they have
settled has been entirely satisfactory
and has been disposed OF in very
short space of time.
Prevalent Causes.
The causes which are most preva-
lent are that of back-iiring in the car
burctor or short circuits in the wir-
ing, which are liable to happen in any
wcll-rcGulatcd automobile. Many
fires have been caused by an automo-
bile engine being cleaned with dis
tillatc or gasoline which ignites so
very rapidly. "A stitch in time saves
nine" and many people are availing
themselves of the opportunity afford
cd by The Won Hamm-YOung Com
pany's large insurance department to
insure their cars in good company.
The litigation and red tape which some
people fear 20 are entirely eliminated
In these policies, and the only thing
which the owner has TO do is to sub
NIT the loss and sign-a receipt for
the money. 80
The cars arriving for The Won

Expense Accounts
Are Now Required.

Under the new law county officials
are required to send to the commits
sion by November 20 claims for office
expenses. The act affects the tax col
lector, the tax receiver, the ordinary.
sheriff, clerk of superior court, solic-
itor general and solicitor of the city

to test the act before permitting it to

The salary act passed by the lesisla =
ture during the summer session of 1911
and effective on January /. 1913, was
the result of ceaseless agitation to take
county officials from the present fee
system. BY it's provisions il affects no
county but Fulton, and it is this phase
that has raised pertinent questions as
to it's constitutionality

county officials and puts it UP to the
county commission to determine the
office expense of each. In one Of its
clauses it provides that no official un-

ficient to pay such a salary, so some
