LOCAL COMP ANY
 GIVEN APPROVAL

A hearing by the city commission at it's regular meeting yesterday of the complaint of Wesley A. Hill against the Arizona Mutual Auto Insurance company resulted in favorable action being taken for the Arizona Mutual Auto Insurance company. The city manager had requested information from the state corporation commission which have supervision over insurance companies. and the following reply was received from the state:
 April 30, 1917. Robert A. Craig, City Mgr,
 Phoenix, Arizona
 Dear Sir:
 We are in receipt of your letter Of the 27th, and are returning herewith the enclosures received therein.
 The articles of incorporation and the plan of doing business of the Ari- zona Mutual Auto Insurance company were made the matter of very thor ough and careful examination and in- vestigation by this commission at the time application was made for a license to transact business in the state.
 Subsequent to our own investiga- tion, the subject was very painsta Nng ly reviewed by the attorney general, and upon advice from him to the ef- feet that there was a substantial and sufficient compliance with the Insur ance code of the state, the commission acted affirmatively upon the applica- tion.
 The commission, as you no doubt know, requires the filing of liability bonds or insurance policies for the pro lection of the general public in q man ner very simple to the requirements ot your ordinance No. 105, and we believe i that it is sufficient to add that we feel entirely justified in accepting the poll cies of this company.
 Very truly yours, 1.. A. BETTS, Secretary"
 MT. Anderson, secretary treasurer of the company. was present and ap- peared in behalf of his company, and i stated that his company was less than l four months old, but had in excess of one million dollars insurance in force and that his company had more real i assets for the amount of insurance 1 than any other company writing busi- ! ness in Phoenix.
 l In the hearing the city attorney and | the city manager stated to the com mission that after full investigation, ! they were assured that the compa nv was responsible in every respect and that the city would continue to accept ! in the future as it had in the past, the policies of the Arizona Mutual Auto Insurance company.
