PROTECTIVE ASSN
HAS fine Results
No Total Loss on Great Lakes to
Ships Plying Water Front
Under Enrolment.

Detroit, Jan. 23.-The consideration
of annual reports and the election OF
officers for the coming year composed
the principal business before the
Great Lakes Protective association
in session here today.
The association came through last
year without the total loss of any
steamer enrolled in it's membership.
This favorable result was attributed
to the care exercised in navigation,
to the wise adoption of separate
courses for east and west bound ves-
sells and to a strict observance of the
rules Of navigation in fog.
A proposition to increase hull insur-
ance from % per cent to so per cent
of a ships valuation was expected to
bring out lively discussion.

tions. 1t apportions representation in
the senate on a basis of population
and enlarges the appointing and veto
