ployers subject to the workmen's COM
pensation act of 1915, begins in all
sections of the State tomorrow. This
Statewide activity in liability insur-
ance will follow the announcement by
the State Worlmen's Insurance Board
OF the rates as approved by the Insur-
ance Department.
With the workmens compensation
act going into effect January 1, ap-
proXimately 100000 employers in
Pennsylvania must, before that date,
protect their employees by compen-
sation insurance.
The approved rates which must be
observed by the authorized stock and
mutual insurance companies are based
on each 500 of annual payroll and
must be applied only for coverage Of
compensation liability. The State in
surance fund is allowed a 10 per cent
reduction under the rates as approved
for stock companies.
The manual containing the approval
rates is the first to be issued in this
State and contains number of rulings
regulating the writing of compensa-
ton insurance.
Plant Inspections
Industrial plants which install safe
guards to protect their employees from
injury will be given schedule inspec-
tions by inspectors from the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, and the
central rating bureau to determine per-
centages of reduction from the ap-
proved rates in recognition of the pre-
cautions that have been adopted within
such plants.
Rates for coal mining have not been
approved by the Insurance Depart
ment. Additional data on the hazard
in mining is being collected and COM
piled and these rates will probably he
available for distribution within a
week.

ance carriers, including the State fund,

A residwent of the lower East Side

commanded to remove part of his

Grinnell, May 1.-THE stockholders
of the Mutual Home Loan and saw
ings Association met last evening IN
special meeting for the purpose of vot-
ing whether the association should take
an extended lease of corporate life TOT
twenty years with the privilege OF
further extension at the end OF that
period if then desired. Secretary Frank
P Marvin reported 1873 shares OF
stock outstanding, of which not lesS
than three fourths must be voted on
this occasion to make affirmative &C
ton legal Upon a count OF the votes
cast it was found that S,459 shares
were thus represented and of these
there was not a single negative vote.
This incorporated body is purely mu-
tual and, starting with practically
nothing, has grown to size OF over
$780, 900 as per report of January, 1915.
It is safe to say that hundreds OF
homes have been helped in the build
ing by the fair and judicious way in
which the funds here gathered have
been loaned and cared for and the
unanimity OF the vote for its contin-
uance shows how much Of calamity
it's discontinuance would be considered
in this community. The borrower here
gets his money at a fair rate OF IN
terest and pays it back in very small
installments when he must. but is pri-
vileged to pay off the loan as fast as
he pleases, and the investor gets a
larger return on his money than he
can get from banks and yet has it
completely under his ffntrol and usu-
ally at an hours notice.

The Iowa supreme court yesterday
decided that a mere aggregation OF
houses and residences close together
might not constitute j village. In a
matter affecting a school consolida-
ton complaint was made that no pro-
vision had been made for separate vot-
ing in the villages. These villages"
consisted of one place where a farmer
had SUBJ divided his farm into large
acreage and three houses had been
erected thereon, and another instance
of dividing up a farm into convenient
large lots. But the court says that
there was no plating Is for town,
hence no real village in the meaning Of
the law.
In this same case the court also held
that a notice posted on the Sth for an
election on the 18th constituted ten
day notice.

change was necessary.
