Local Publicity Men Hear Talks
From Experts Who Make
California Famous

Mainland visitors enjoyed the AG
Clubs hospitality today, and members
of the Ad Club in turn enjoyed short
talks from some of their guests from
the states. Los Angeles has the repu-
tation Of containing more simon pure,
dyed in the wool, natural-born boost

California, John Mitchell, president OF

President W. r.. Harrington OF the
AID Club introduced Senator Phelan,
stating, however, that he was not here
as a senator but a private citizen.
Phelan's talk dwelt on the close
connection between San Francisco and
the Hawaiian islands.

Other bits of the 1914 report con-
corning the financial workings of the
steamship company do not agree with
things as Field says he found them.
The 1914 report has this to say:
Brings Up Insurance Fund
Instead OF paying out Of its own
earnings an amount variously estimat-
ed at from per cent to per cent on
the replacement value of its steam
ers, there is withdrawn annually from
the gross earnings of the floating
equipment a sum fixed by the direct
ors at regular meetings; this sum of
money is passed to the credit of the
insurance fund, which is then held in
reserve to meet marine disaster, and
claims for damage to cargo by fire
and water, also claims for injury or
death to individuals of the various
crews
The question of the method of ad-
ministering this fund so set apart
does not interest this commission,
which considers that its duty in this
direction Is to ascertain whether this
fund is SO disposed of as to be avail
able at short notice to maintain the
efficiency of the equipment by replac-
ing steamer or steamers which may
be lost at sea, or destroyed by fire or
other mishap; or to pay claims for
losses or death, as the case may be.
1T appears that this insurance fund
is invested in such way as to be read
lily available, and the interest accruing
from the investment is passed 10 the
credit of profit and loss account and
therefore becomes available for dis
trtuution among the stockholders, If
the directors so decide. 1t will be
noted that the amount so withdrawn
for the marine insurance fund, from
the gross earnings for the year 1913
was $4,000, which is approximately
AZ pen cent on the book value of the
steamer fleet of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company. and this
commission is assured by competent
authority that the premium on such
insurance If placed with strong ma
rine insurance company would at least
equal this amount"
