BROKERAGE FEES NOT CHARGED
Treasurer OF Jefferson Standard TaTks
OF Loans Made on The Realty Of
POlicyhOlders.

Greensboro Daily News, Aug. 5.
How is the Jefferson getting along
since your big agency meeting" ?" was
asked Treasurer Charles w. Gold. OF
the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance
company yesterday. -
"FIne," he replied. 'The agents are
getting right down to work, and from
the fine production of business YOU
could hardly tell that there had been
q week of play. Collections are also
good, and this necessitates our making

mo sir" he replied. Every man to
whom the Jefferson Standard lends
money is especially warned that he is
not expected to pay any brokerae4
fees, or any other expenses except for
abstracting the title and inspecting
the property. Just the other day we
found that In an adjoining State, ai,
attorney was about to charge a brok-
erage on a loan from US. which he fiad

influence. Our regular procedure
showed the prospective borrower that

loans only to our policy holders. Tiey

money. but We feel that in getting ii

Mr.. Gold was very enthusiastic about
the prospects for the remainder Of the
year. There seems to be no question
in his mind but that 1916 will be the
biggest year from every standpoint
that the Jefferson has ever had. ! p.
The company has recently increased
its annual dividend to policy holderS
by nearly SO 1-3 per cent. thus the
policy-holder is reaping direct gain
from the splendid prosperity which Is
now existing in the South.

cerring the low places on the park

a proposition to lay concrete paving
with bituminous covering. provided
they are given a contract for as much
as one thousand yards. The propo-
sition was received as information. He
reported that the paving brick tests
had proved satisfactory, the abrasion
test showing only IA to 10 per cent.
whereas the contract allowed as
much as % per cent. Mr.. p. p. Finn
who is running the rattler in making
the brick tests was allowed SIS per
month for this service. The use of To-
cal sand, in street paving work was
discussed.
A break in the Salem Avenue sew
er line was discussed and progress Of
the repair was reported. The cost of
repairs on the broken section is esti-
mated at about $500. and the cost Of
replacing the entire line in this street
that has given trouble heretofore was
considered. No action was taken.

cense charged before Council, it was
decided to fix the license tax at 5000
