ERROR IN LAW TO
BAR NEWCOMERS
NO NEW FRATERNAL ORDERS CAN
BE ORGANIZED IN
VIRGINIA.
A MATTER OF CIPHERS
REQUIREMENT OF TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY LIVES NOW AT
100000 FOR EACH
POLICY.
A MATTER OF CIPHERS

An item that will be of much In
terest to insurance companies
throughout the State Is the recent
discovery of an error in the engross-
ing OF the law governing insurance
issued by fraternal orders The eff
feet of the new discovery Is to make
it impossible for any fraternal orders
to organize in the State of Virginia
for the purpose OF engaging in the
insurance business.
The error In the case In point was
made BY the engrossing clerk Of the
last session of the general assembly
of Virginia, when an act governing
the law by which insurance might be
issued by fraternal orders was passed.
The law in It's present form pro-
vides that no fraternal insurance
society shall be allowed to begin
business in the State of Virginia until
1t shall have secured insurance on at
least $50 lives for the sum Of 100000
each. The bin as passed provided
that insurance on each life should be
$1,000 for each IFS INSURED, but the
amount enormously appeared on the
engrossad bill raised to 100000.
Inashmuch as the bill as it is en-
crossed Is the law. the effect Of this
provision IS to make 1t Impossible IoF
any fraternal order TO organize IN this
State, as II is r1anifestly impossible for
any fraternal order to get ESQ men to
take policies OF 100000 each. No
fraternal order was every known 10
issue a policy In that amount. and
no man would take out 10 large
policy in O new institution.
This error In the bill. making the
law for all practical purposes null and
void and preventing any further
organization of fraternal orders in
Virginia, will be of considerable inter-
est to insurance companies and frater-
nal orders in that 1t vitality and direct
~ affects the insurance business OF the
entire State.
The error was discovered through
reading Of the acts of the assembly
by one charged with this task.

BOARD .ABASDONS SCHEME OF
TRANSACTTNG BUSINESS
THROUGH COMMITTEES.

Without a dissenting vote the adj
minlstrative board yesterday decided
to abandon the committee plan" and
10 so back to the original PROPOSE
tion OF receiving reports from heads
Of departments and citizens as a body,
rather than as individuals.
This step was taken upon a mo-
ton by Commissioner Mccarthy, and
vas Avoted for by all the members
of the board.
The board. upon motion of Com
missioner Hirschoerg. will, through a
committee of two, devise ways and
means for the reorganization OF the
water department. The committee
will look into every phase of the sit
uation, and will report back to the
board Having offered the motion It
IL likely that Commissioner Hirsch-
burg will be member Of the COM
mittee 10 be appointed by President
Whittet. Mr.. Beck will, probably. be
the other member OF the committee
of two.
In the reorganization of the water
works. 1t is not likely that there will
be changes of much moment The
fact that this plant will have to be
enlarged after annexation, and that 1t
tates the bringing of 1t up to modern
conditions neeessitates the proposed
action. Assistant Superintendent Will
liam Lawton, Jr.. viii probably be
given charge of all the engineering
features of the department. Of which
he has been noninally in charge for
long time. Mr.. Lawton is consid-
cred ono of the most competent engt-
neers In the service Of tho body.
The resolution doing away with the
committee plan, as introduced by
Commissioner Mccarthy follows:
First. That the action of the board
creating Committee of the board be
and is hereby repeated.
Second. That heads Of departments
having requests to prefer, suggestions
to make or other business to transact
are instructed to appear before the
board in session or address the board
in writing, and not any individual
members.
Third That all communications
concerning any department under
board supervision and relating to city
business. or applications for work or
place to receive consideration. must
be addressed TO the board as such and
